Neilp Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Whats your budget, as this will determine which version you will purchase and the issue related to that version? Quote

Bockaaarck Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Dalec123, there's a host of information in the FAQ section, have a read through that, it'll be really helpful. The Zed is a pretty bullet proof car, but it does have its cost. Servicing is not bad (roughly £300 for a major / P3 Service. Fuel is likely to be your biggest cost (other than insurance). Average mpg for most owners is around 25mpg. Tyres are the next thing. Please, please, please do not scrimp on rubber. Make sure you buy the best tyres you can afford. Michelin Pilot Sport probably at the top, Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta in the middle, then next Falken 453's. Look at the cars up for sale on the forum. The link that buster has put up is a great example. Well known on the forum, well cared for, a great example. Check the FAQ's / Check the info on servicing, fuelling / running costs, insurance etc. Check out the cars in the for sale section for comparison to other cars you might see for sale. £7K should get you a reasonable Zed, with mid range mileage 1 Quote
rjohnson1993 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Insurance shouldn't be a problem, got mine at 20 after coming straight from a 1.2 clio for £800 fully comp mods declared, 7K will get you a good example 8k for a mint one Quote
hensh65 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 £7K I would be looking for a an 05 55 plate, you're using it as a second car so will save on road tax and will be able to get one with around 40-50K miles on the clock Quote
Flex Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 19 ffs! Lucky sod. All I could afford at 19 was a clapped out 1.6 capri 1 Quote
