I was just browsing the Auto Trader 'site and came across this:

Looks like Cornish Wrecker's old ZX up for £10k.....

 

Richard

Lisa, you have a valid point - but they were two different cars to drive. Perhaps you should have taken mine for a spin then you would know what I am talking about. As for getting £10,000, I think he will need to be very, very, very fortunate. Either way, it can only add to the value of your cars if examples like this are being put up for such sums. If I had an extra space in the garage I would loved to have kept it as I reckon these cars will soon start to appreciate. I paid £5250 for this car 3 years ago so a loss of £250 aint bad. Admittedly I had stuck at least £1500 worth of extras on but I think that is peanuts compared to most on the forum.

 

Why did I sell? Well, I must admit I did ask myself that for the two weeks I had a Porsche Boxster S. To say I was dissappointed was an understatement and if I could have bought the Zed back for the same price I sold it, I think I would have done. It's the same old story, you fancy a change and then realise you made a bloody silly mistake. That Zed was a dream to drive and the Porsche was a real let down - although it took me a few weeks to realise it. Don't get me wrong, it was an absolute gem of a Porsche and it went like the clappers, handled like a dream and pulled your eyes out of there sockets when you pushed the brakes hard on, but I felt as if I had taken a step backwards compared to the Zed. Luckily I didn't pay top money for it and was able to sell it for exactly what I paid for it.

 

I am now more than content with my Merc SL. That said, I had to spend a small forturne just to compete with the Zed. Hopefully Lisas car will not be faster!

Congrats on your sale, which sl did you get in the end?

Also your car wasn't running any boost upgrades where as Lisa's is... Good examples performance wise of a standard Zed and one that's had a boost upgrade!

She does, she has driven mine, i know exactly what your saying, and that Zed was a one off for all you members that have not seen it in the flesh !

 

I also bought and hated a porsche i bought back along, a 928 S4 not a patch on the Zed.

I hope you bought the SL55...

I'm afraid an SL55 was just out of my league. Unless I bought a high mileage SL55 I would have been looking close to £30,000! However, I have managed to acquire an SL500 with full factory fitted SL55 AMG body kit and AMG upgrades. Like my Zed, it's ride quality that inspries me most rather than outright perfromance - although it's nice to know the power is there should you need it. If I am honest, an SL55 kicking out 500 BHP would have been a complete waste in my mits! I feel more in control driving a bike fast rather than a car.

Any of you running your Zed as a second car should try Admiral Multi Car Insurance - it normally comes up as one of the cheapest options if you do an insurance search via autotrader. If you have full no claims bonus, they will also allow you the same on a second car (well they did for me) and this works out rediculously cheap. I can insure the Merc SL and the Goldf TDI for £452 fully comp. I did a search with the Zed and it worked out even cheaper - might be worth a look.
