5K? or slightly more?

 

So many to choose from

 

Do you want a UK or J spec?

 

Short Wheel Base?

 

Twin turbo or NA?

 

Best bet is to check out the buyers guide on this site?

 

Great choice to get a zed though. Any of them. SWB's are best though ;)

D'oh too slow

5k will get you a nice one, have a look in the for sale section, theres a lovely blue one for sale by Scoops.

 

Beat you to it Scoops!.

Hi guys cheers for the replies. I'm near Southend. I'll have a look at that buying guide :0).

 

All I know so far is I want a Twin Turbo, could stretch 5k a little bit. One thing I am a little concerned about is running costs and theft, I work funny hours and would need to leave it alone late at night :0(

if you want one looked over i know most of the common faults :) as long as its close by

Hi MikeGroves, cheers for the offer, no anywhere good to start looking - s'pose there might be a couple down london road.

Thanks for the kind words mate!

Oh yeah by the way its just failed its MOT.. on disks, pads and a split steering rack boot, so all being good by the end of next week the above will be fixed it will have 12 months mot aswell :dance: .. even more of a bargain!!!!

Right - I've had a bit of a read and I'm definitely gonna go for a manual TT - what are peeps views on 2+2 vs SWB? Also is there anyone nearish to me selling one?

Mines got a tracker and immobiliser ;)

 

SWBs look kind of ... stumpy ;) LWB are nice and sleek :cool:

manauls are for homos, it should be a question on that gay test, do you drive a manual or an auto.. if you pick manual then you are already 90% gay!

 

only kidding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe 70%.

 

 

 

what you really want is a nice blue auto, if you dont like it get a manwell conversion

Ignore that double post ??

 

Pete looks real nice but its an auto and a little too expensive for me at the 'mo :0(

 

P.S - How much did a tracker and immobiliser set you back?

 

I think your right about the LWB does look nice!

Slight sidetrack but does anyone know why I can't PM anyone?

 

Scoop - that's a nice motor but I really want a manual - haven't got the spare cash for a conversion :0(

You need to be subscribed to PM I think, you can probably use the email user facility I'd imagine.

 

Tracker was £245 from Bob @ Safeandsound in the traders section as part of a group buy, plus £110 subs per year :eek:. Immob was on when I got it sorry ;)

 

Cheers

The more and more I read the more I must have one :0). Out of interest how many people run there zx's everyday (i.e. to work and back)?

Me and mines for sale too.

Initially I was after a black manual TT, but decided I would buy the best car I could find. It ended up being a Red Auto! I would suggest you test drive both, you might see the light!

 

 

Barry.

Are the autos much slower?

Me and mines for sale too.

 

 

get your own thread you vulture lol

Mines got a tracker and immobiliser ;)

 

SWBs look kind of ...sexy;) LWB are like limo's:

:rofl: ;)

Autos are a fraction slower to 0-60 but a fraction quicker 0-100 :dance: Autos scare manual on the dragstrip :D:D

 

Mr half-decent-driver will probably take a manual round a track quicker.
