RJF Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Hi guys, I'm after some advice from you existing Zed owners, if possible! Having recently sold my Civic, i'm now on the hunt for a Zed around the £8000 mark. Ideally i'd like one in Kuro Black or Azure Blue, GT, Black Leather, less than 65,000 miles, preferably with mint bodywork. I've been to see a few around the 8k mark and the bodywork on all of them has been appauling. Am I being unrealistic with my budget? Quote

nowhereboy Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Budget is fine. Just depends what year you're looking for. You could get an absolute minter of a DE engined one for that price. Quote
nowhereboy Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Just for a reference I paid 5,9000 for mine, uk spec with brembos 04 plate 59,000 miles Quote

Vik54 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Your budget is realistic - just keep looking - if it is mainly stone chipped fronts you are referring to this is normal - you can get full front end respray for approx £400 - just factor that into the purchase Quote
un1eash Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Just for a reference I paid 5,9000 for mine, uk spec with brembos 04 plate 59,000 miles Just not to confuse but all UK cars came with brembos. 2 Quote

Jake4136 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Your well in budget but remember your trying to find a 10 year old car with mint bodywork. Lower your standards a little on the paint side and remember that a front bumper respay is pretty cheap aswell as getting the car professionally machine polished Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Just for a reference I paid 5,9000 for mine, uk spec with brembos 04 plate 59,000 miles ! I think you got conned, and obviously have too much money! To the op, and you should be able to find one for that amount. Quote
