Almost bought my first Z on Sunday. Found it in Trader on the net. It's in Greenwich & stay clear 'cause it's a dog & it's advertised as mint with mint leather interior, 45,000 miles etc...

I rang the guy & talked about it. He said the leather was like brand new, no cracks or scuffs. I asked what the exhaust was like amongst other things as I'd heard how expensive they are. Apparently it was running like a dream. I told him I was from Leyland but I if it really was as good as he reckoned I was prepared to travel.( I didn't mention the wifes Focus got free petrol) He assured me it was so down I went on a 3 hour plus journey to find a cracked & scuffed leather interior with twead bits that looked like someone in oily overalls had been driving it, cracked steering wheel, painted up wheels, exhaust going on back end, part of bumper hanging loose & when I took it for a spin it wouldn't kick down. Oh, & he'd shined all the plastic up with some kind of sticky dash shine & even the wheel was sticky. There's more but I've droned on enough. His name was Ahmet but that's not what I called him. If we hadn't been on a Sainsbury's car park full of families I'd have tw@tid him if you know what I mean.

Bugger, what a waste of time! and what a tosser.

 

Hope you find a good one mate!

Set off at 11, got home about 7 40. I'll not do that again.

Should have gone to a quiet part of the car park then tw@tid 'im!!:eek:

Cheers,F.T.

What bl--dy price was he looking for his carriage of sh*t?

Not good man - it's amazing how folk (or f**ck) behave.

I hope you eventually find a good one - go to a dealer - less hassle normally.

Geoff.
