I would like this -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-MG-ZT-T-2-5-190-SE-...

But it's a lot of dough considering how unloved and undervalued they are.

Man maths would let me trade my hateful A**i A3 which I bought as a stop gap two years ago for this and although I haven't driven a ZT yet, everything I read suggests that they were fitted with suspension, which the Audi isn't.

Awaits flaming, ridicule etc

ETA - key attractions are - V6 noise, OEM HID lights, estate space and some suspension.

Top car! Hugely underrated, I had one briefly, fantastic car, some people say poor mans jag or Beemer but I think they are a nice alternative to the usual suspects. I will say though, that's the facelift version, yes it looks more modern but it came at a time when mgr were tightening their belts, go for the original version with low miles, if it's a v6 make sure the cam belt has been done, also look out for clutch hydraulics and rattling inlet manifolds, cam belt is every 90k or 5 years. Good luck!

Top money for the V6, but it looks a well kept car with low mileage and full spec.

They are under rated and a satisfying car. Owners club explains all the niggles.

Beware monogram paint... it costs hundreds per litre and bad scratches put through insurance write them off.

That is way over prices. Remember that it is a 10 year old car.

Google 75 ZT forum and ask a few questions there.

I would say two things, drive it and if it floats your boat offer £2750 to start and go no further than £3000. If they don't accept let me know and I will have a punt for a little more. Great sound, good ride handling compromise and pre march 2006 (RFL) Have a look on the 75/zt forums for pre purchase info.

I have to say I have had more than my fair share and still would like another bite at the cherry!

Thanks all - I have been hanging around on the 75/ZT forums for a while.

Cost to change is the significant factor for me - no point in getting a zillion off only to be made up by a crap px offer or vice-versa.

That's a lot of car for the money. Lovely.
