I was looking at a 928 S4 'G' plate for 10K ! I like them a lot and I suppose they're not unlike the Z.

 

I know they were a lot new but so was my Z. It just seems that people are giving Z's away these days.

 

OK so most of the Z's around now are getting a bit old but the build quality was second to none and put it next to a 'G' plate Escort and look how Ford's finest has faired over 13 years. Yet you won't pay much more for a Z now !!

 

I know imports have given a lot of people access to these great cars (me included) but i'm starting to think they've f**ked the market totally - which is a shame. You've only got to reverse into a bollard and the insurance will write it off as the value is so low !!

 

Rant over............................

hopefully prices have bottomed out and only the shit ones are now dirt cheap :D

 

 

At least you can buy it back off the insurance co again!!

I dont think the price can be compared to an escort really, but i will!!!!;)

 

The zed cost about £35k new, the escort maybe £8k??

 

The said zed would be worth about £4k to £5k now, the escort would be worth £400 to £500.

 

So the escort is worth about 10 times less than the zed, comparitively the escort is worth about 5% of its original price wheras the zed is worth 10 to 15% and on a 13 year old car I think its pretty good.:)

Good choice.....classy and exclusive!:D ....Not your usual Japanese Council Estate Racer!:D :rofl:

My brothers just bought a G plate escost GL for £160!!, very crap all round as you would expect for a 13 year old ford, but one of the better ones, oh, and my '91 Zed is mint and no one would get it for less than £5K, so I don't think they are comparable.

 

On the subject of insurance, if you are unfortunate enough to have your zed written off and the insurance company try to fob you off with "lower end of market" offers, refuse the offer!!!, gather lots of info from autotrader etc.. showing top end dealer costs for comparable cars for sale and they'll soon come back with reasonable figures.
