98duffa · August 1, 2014

Hi all, my mates venturing into the zed world as just a second car for fun he has Â£4500 and has no real preferance on spec etc, obviously doesnt want a shed and would prefer the cheaper tax bracket. Would appreciate any help guys cheers

Doesn't want a shed for Â£4500? What does he want for that much?

-Bradders- · August 1, 2014

you'll only get a shitter or high mileage or damaged for that price? i paid 5k for mine and that was a shitter lol.

I think he may have to stretch a bit if he wants a manual, but you will probably get something for Â£4500-Â£5k that is mechanically sound but needs a little tlc bodywork wise, i reckon you could get an auto for that as they are not as popular and only imports.

Good Luck... :scare: :scare:

Here's the good news, he certainly will only get a low tax bracket one.. :surrender:

I got mine for 5k with 77k mileage and full service history. Most zeds are overpriced so shouldn't be an issue for that price :thumbs:

high mileage import it is at that price, or could maybe consider a cat d depending on what he plans to do with it.

Don't think you'll find many on here that will agree with that Billy.... :scare: :scare:

I think Billy had the seller at gunpoint - that or had some very interesting pictures of the seller that could potentially fall into the wrong hands :lol:

There are something like 180 Zeds for sale on AT last time I looked - I would have a guess about 2 of them are under Â£4500 - so you are getting effectively the bottom 1% of cars out there in the market. It could be ok, but it will be a very early import or massive high miler.

Asking price & selling price are 2 very different things

i paid Â£6k for my 54 Reg with 75k on the clock. thought that was a steal as it only needed a little bit of work. tbh you may get one come up if a seller is very desperate to sell quick

I paid Â£4,500 for mine, on a CAT D, with 44,000 miles on a 54 plate. It's been bullet proof!!

To be fair there was a bit of 'haggling' involved.

I know that, I would bet my last quid that on average people get no more than 10% off...still doesn't put the budget in a good place.

Selling mine shortly. 2003/52 JDM import, sunset, 86k on the clock. Â£5,250.

I was very lucky to he honest! He didn't have a clue what he had! Even got a nismo exhaust with the car :teeth:

I think you'll find a Zed, it just wont be the Zed that you want...

incredibl · August 2, 2014

For the budget

I would suggest save up just a bit more, it'll be worth the wait. I've had lemons before, and there's nothing worse than seeing the car stuck on the driveway cos it constantly needs work.

Lee D T · August 2, 2014

I have a 2003 manual for sale at the moment with 54000 miles on it, it won't be going for any less than Â£5200 though, fully serviced and needs nothing.
