Thinking of buying another zed!!!! I just love the look of them!!!
4 seats as i have kids, love the look from all angles, fast , targa so best of both worlds!!!!
The only thing is i dont mind paying but i want a nice one, its so hard to get one that has had the mods done bodywise i.e. not over the top as i am 43!! like wheels & some body kits (not veilside). Engine wise i like lots of power but not to the expense of them blowing up every month! Need to be well serviced & reiliable.
Are there any nice ones left, need a T/T manual, there is a nice one in piston classified but it has blue cheques all over & inside a bit to "fast & furious"
anyone know of a good one i like silver or gunmetal.
Also i spent loads on my last one, are they that bad & hard to repair, i didnt know if i just had a bad one?
i dont care about fuel 7 dont mind £1000 year service (i only do 2K mile a year!) Is it the wrong car for me as i just love the look!
I am that desperate i even considerd a trans am ( 4 door, good power, reliable)

Personally I'd go on the owners club and buy from them. If you use Search then you may get an idea of the kind of problems or not the seller may have had from questions in the technical sections.

Just bide your time and don't jump at the first one you see. Save money by buying one thats already been tuned, but at a level where its still largely reliable, again you will get this kind of info from the owners club.

As you already said - they are not cheap to run and any work involving a trip into the engine bay is a nightmare/expensive.

good luck - I love em but the costs frighten me - I'll stick with my 200 at the moment
