Maybe I'm just being picky here, but where's the logic in describing a car as having "no mods at all" and then listing the mods in the same sentence?!

 

Remapped, but not dyno'd... do the two not usually go hand in hand (or am I wrong there?)...?

 

Reason for sale: the Mrs. But open to a swap for another performance car. Er... what??

 

Owns three other Zeds too, apparently. First time I've heard them referred to as "flying kettles" though!

 

Suggests owners should keep all receipts, yet pretty much states that this car has no receipts. Confusing....

 

Says 20 year old friend has £130 per year insurance on one. I smell something here...!

 

Just a bit of a bizarre advert, in my opinion...

ive heard the 'flying kettle' saying before, when i was looking at buying my first zed about 6-7 years ago. But i dont think its a good saying and i dont like the saying as the Zed sounds nothing like it.

 

As for the rest of the ad he pretty much contradicts himself lol

A strange one :huh:

Looks a little excitable, you know the type, wants to chew your ear off. I don't think it's fishy just a bit over the top. It's a twin turbo manual for 2.5k, it's cheap. If your looking, it may be worth a look.

His mate was buying one for £6400 in the same condition as his:whistling:, I reckon he's got himself a buyer there without having to advertise the car....SELL YOUR MATE the car and save him £4000:biggrin: Wouldn't that have made sense:yes:

I think you're looking too far into it mondo. It's probably got one of the off the shelf maps like zedworld or DTA etc used to sell. I think the mods bit is fair comment too really

You've been drinking, right? :lol:

 

"No mods done to it at all"... except the lights, the alloys, the exhaust and the remap. Whilst they may not be hugely expansive mods, they're still mods.

 

It's a bit like a woman saying "I've had no cosmetic surgery whatsoever... except for the nosejob, the boobjob and the lip fillers!"

 

I get that he (or she, if you look at the seller details top right ;) ) is trying to push it towards the purists out there, but their phrasing is, in my opinion, pretty ridiculous. As Richie says, why not just sell it to your mate instead of just pointing out how cheaply (subjectively) you're advertising it to the masses...?

 

It just seems very odd to me, that's all.

I just think he was trying too hard to sound knowledgeable in all things Z and ended up overselling it, the ad poster is trying too hard, that's all. I don't think there's anything sinister about it, but you never know until you go and meet him:whistling:

Ha! I love it Si, nice way of putting it:clap:
