So here we are, the dreaded "for sale" mail.

 

I've been a "lurker" on this site for about 10 years now. I imported my Zed myself approximately 9 years ago.

 

I currently have a double garage, with two hobby cars. I'm moving soon, but my new house only has a single garage, and as much as it pains me, the Zed has picked the short straw.

 

Good things about my Zed:

It has 2 new turbos

New clutch

New engine mounts

New water pump

New radiator and cap

Decent tread tyres all round

New cam belt

No rust

Only done 63,637 KM, never driven in the wet since I've had it.

New battery

 

Bad things:

Speedo still reads KPH

The dash board has done the "thing" near the windscreen.

Needs an MOT, but don't expect any issues from this.

Needs tax

Has a private plate I need to save

Smokes a bit as I drove it for a while with a leaky turbo, and now I have oil in the intercoolers. Needs a few miles on it to be honest, but I've not driven it enough since I had all the work done listed above.

 

As you can see, it doesn't look standard, but it's pretty much stock and compared to other I've seen recently, considering it's age, it's almost mint.

 

I'm not sure what to ask for it, as I've spent plenty on it and I am attached to it as you can all understand! I'm not advertising it any where else yet, as I'd rather sell it to a fellow Zedder who I know will look after it as I have. ( Sad innit!)

 

I think I'm looking for about 6k as there nothing really that needs doing other than the legal stuff. Definitely not a breaker.

 

Let me know if you need anything else from me, if you're in the market for one, and you would like to see it, please let me know.

 

Simon.

Only about twice my budget unfortunately. :(

 

Good luck with the sale though fella.

Is it going to have an MOT on it when it's sold...?

It can do. This is the first thing I've done in regards to selling it. Totally understand someone wanting that done, so happy to do so.

 

Love your work by the way, if I keep/kept it, I'd be contacting you!

Looks like a cracking car from the pics and your description, such a shame that you have to sell her.

 

It would absolutely have to have an MOT to command that price-tag and I'd also say that you'd have to do some miles to prove that smoking stops for the full asking price. With those issues sorted (I wouldn't worry about the dash peel, it's not a big job to fix), in the current climate, I genuinely believe that is well priced and wish you the very best of luck in the sale. Are you intending to advertise the car elsewhere?

...as above, money to spend but want confirmation that the smoke will stop and it has an mot - wont want any bills due to either of those after paying good money.

If it is just oil in the intercoolers, why not take them off and clear them out? I can't imagine it passing the MOT if it's still burning oil.

I'll get it MOTed at the weekend, I kind of expected to anyway, so it's no big deal really. It's not smoking that badly and passed the MOT last year in the same state.

 

It's a good point regarding removing the intercoolers, and something I forgot to mention as I have done this already. (Got about a cups worth of oil from the pair of them!) I thought about decatting too, in an attempt to get rid of the last remaining dregs of oil......nice way to justify decatts too!

To max your price, it would be worth spending some time resolving the smoking, especially as you have new Tubs on, as those not more familiar with these cars may be put off!

 

Nice example though, GLWS

Thanks for the nice comments, (as usual on here). You know what'll happen? I'll start driving it again to clear the smoke, and change my mind about selling it, yet again!

Well I like the P6 but it's no substitute for your Zed on a warm day, nor potential future value.

Can't sell the P6, it'll be like selling an arm! Besides, I love the V8 rumble!

 

And seriously? You think the Zed will be worth more than the P6? Never really thought about it, but I guess it wouldn't be worth 5 - 6k like the Zed?

 

MOT booked for Friday afternoon............

How'd did she go at her MOT?

:clap::wink:Passed the MOT with no advisories, accept for some slight play on the nearside anti rollbar bush! I have to be honest, there's still a fair bit of smoke still! Not sure I'd buy it if i didn't know the reasons for the smoke? I'm not worried, but I can't expect anyone to pay top whack for it! I really do need to give it a good run to clear it through, so I'll tax it and run it for a while and see how it goes. Gutted, gonna have to drive it lots!

Still selling, hows the smoke?

The smoke is thinning, but haven't been too far in it yet! Should do a few miles this week?

Is this still for sale? i know you wont want to accept but i will offer 3k for it.

Hi, yes it is for still for sale, and you are correct, 3k is a little bit too low for me to accept. Sorry for the delay in replying too, trying to move house and it isn't going too smoothly at the moment! I had anticipated moving, hence putting the car up for sale now.

Hi what sort of price where you looking for as I didn't see it anywhere in this thread.

His opening post states around £6k, mate

This looks like a very clean car with a good story (only owner since imported, no rain etc) so should command strong money.

Good luck mate.

How's the smoke situation now?

Getting there, it is clearing!

I had planned to use it more, once I had moved house, but that isn't going quite as smooth as I had hoped! I nearly moved at the end of March, but a lot has happened which meant it hasn't happened yet! As a result, not much of a chance to drive it. I'll keep this thread updated with the move....

 

Thanks for asking.

Awesome, it's the kind of car I'm after so when you're ready to let get give me a nudge.
