Hello all

 

I am thinking of buying a Z which is why I joined this group, reason for wanting this car - I have trimmed a few interiors for other people and like what I saw.

My problem - not knowing how to tell a good buy from a bad buy.

If anyone can offer some basic what to look for advice I would be greatfull.

 

In the meantime I will keep browsing the forums picking up what knowledge I can.

hi and welcome here is some to get you started

Carry out a very thorough inspection when buying one of these, try and take someone who knows the cars with you as well, if the person selling is unhappy about a half hour drive for yourself ...walk away theres lots of these around at the moment.Common faults are fuel smell on a cold day at start up which is just hoses in the engine bay, electrical connections in the bay getting brittle including coil pack connections and injector connections.

Lots of other things to watch for but most are in the buying guide

Hello matey, welcome to the club :D

Hello matey, welcome to the club :D

 

Same from me too.

 

If you are looking for a good one, there are a few up for sale on here at the moment. You're more likely to find one that has been properly looked after, rather than the cheap ebay rubbish!

 

Good luck with your search.
