Looks and reads good but if you are going to pay around 3k which is what the owner is looking then test drive it first.

I was interested in this, so asked a couple of members to go and have a look for me.

Let me put it this way, it would make a good project but its not quite what the owner says it is.

what do think this this zed is worth any ideas ,thanks for the heads up :thumbup1:

From what I was told by 2 very respected members, about £2300, but it will need more money to get it up to scratch.

For a start it needs a little bit of body work (welding and a bit of paint), and the engine is not pulling quite as hard as it should be.

Shall we say its a good base car but needs work, nothing huge but its a bumper to bumper, iron out the niggles kinda car

Respected.........thank you Dave !!

 

He wants 3k or close to it, 2300 is the max really but he will not take i expect as someone may well come along and give him 2800 say.

 

Me and Ian must err tremendously on the side of caution with regard to our comments on the sills, they don't look bad at all but we can hardly go sticking screwdrivers in the sills, all we can do is on street level is tap, push about.

Both do require a good going over and some plating in places but it does appear minor, normal for a 25 year old car, but from what we saw a few hundred is needed to put them right.

 

Also when you turn sidelights on, the low beams come on, something you could put right yourself but if you're not that way inclined it could easily cost you another £100.00 for a auto electrician to have a fiddle.

 

I don't know about the engine as Ian test drove it but he says it was way off his power wise, so again some coin needs putting aside to look into this, it didn't smoke at all though, the only test i'd like to see would be to start it from cold but aside from the lack of power it did sound perfect.

 

I am saying and Ian will concur, a contingency of £700 on top of the asking price and you've not a bad vehicle that stands you at 3k.

awesome thanks for the advice :thumbup1:

It was down on power, i could hear a boost leak and it felt like it was in safety mode. However as Andy said it doesnt smoke, idles well and smooth plus no edvidence of past overheating. Oil was clean so a good going through clean everything connector wise sort the boost leak and it will more than likely pull like a champ. But again as Andy said without a ramp you can only see so much. If you are interested then i say get yourself in front of the car and drive it yourself. It will scrub up to presentable daily driver level quite easily imo.
