The ZT-T 260 is a cracker apparently.

Just traded mine in, fantastic car for the money. If its a kv6 you're looking at, check to see if its had a recent belt change as this can cost ~£600.
Mine was extremely thirsty though and that was the main reason I got rid.

Hugely thirsty and a lot more expensive to buy than the FWD V6s, despite still being a bit of a bargain. If I could tolerate MPG dipping into the teens for a daily driver I'd be in there like a shot.

Chaps in Scotland who change a ZT-T 260 into a ZT-T 400 with the liberal application of a supercharger hehe
