Are Zed prices falling through the floor or what?
There is another pearl yellow one on pistonheads (apart from mine) priced up at £1700 which pissed me of a little-but mines better anyway:nana2: JDM cars are generaly better from what i have seen and as you say low miles and no rot usualy!
-
Are Zed prices falling through the floor or what?
i think you get what you pay for with a zed in my opinion.My next one in about a year will be manual uk TT without doubt(sadly doubt it will be pearl yellow thow)ive been frustrated with my jap tt as it is totaly standard and unabused and is in a lot better condition than most uk cars but there is a big taboo in this country against imports which is sad in a way,as you can never seem to get what they are worth.
-
Are Zed prices falling through the floor or what?
and the car pictured in that add does look like a uk twin turbo to me, the headlight washers are a give away amd the vents in front splitter.Could be genuine but i doubt it
-
Are Zed prices falling through the floor or what?
that explains it then....definately something to think about! if a few more left the country it would also make them rarer here eventualy pushing the price back to were it should be.
-
Are Zed prices falling through the floor or what?
i noticed that one its because of people like that selling them dirt cheap why they arent fetching top money at the moment. mines provisionaly getting shipped to the states next month and iv got what i wanted for her.Aparantly there is more manual swb over there and auto 2+2 TT's fetch top dollar right hand drive or not!so if your trying to sell a good zed it might be worth a try as shiping is only £500-700 which they will pay for quite happily:shock:

Fuel economy
it is the stuff like speed bumps and islands that kills it o and country roads.if you live somewere that isnt designed like a super special circuit (like telford:))then it could be okay:dance: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg300/richardswain21/Pictures487.jpg

Fuel economy
i know i was gona get a wrx before my zed but couldnt find a decent one and insurance is harsh on them-the zed is very cheap on insurance so thats a bonus.My mrs has been driving mine more than i have recently and shes thinking of buying it of me she loves it that much!its a car that gets a lot of female attention thats always a bonus lol
-
Fuel economy
125bhp!i assumed it was a wrx and was thinking 31/32 is pretty good!the power is awesome i must admit.cars of this type wernt realy built with economy in mind so can moan to much-at least you know what to expect now.
-
Fuel economy
yeah but when you have to drive it so carefully to get good mpg you have to ask your self whats the point?i bought mine for the power but im getting so pissed off putting petrol in and not been able to fully enjoy it,it gets a bit annoying.If i could get a second car thow it would be a different story maybe then i could enjoy it a little!
-
Fuel economy
If your planning on using it as a daily driver as i have dont even think about it if you havent got the money as it will all be going in your tank!!Mine is a twin turbo auto and it doesnt matter if you drive it like the pope or like hamilton-it is awfull!!i have been getting 8-12 mpg this week and its in A1 mechanical order.When it was bit warmer i could get around 18mpg if i took it steady.Havent a clue about the NA as i dont see the point in it.

Burning smell from rear wheel!
Hi all,yet another little problem with me daily drive twinturbo!I have noticed after driving in any style there is a slight burning smell coming from the drivers side rear wheel.I have felt the tire and its never warm enough to make a burning smell(smell is similar to burning rubber)i havent a clue what this is but its bugging me a bit incase it leads to a big problem:cry: i have noticed a lot of oil on my carpark at about the point were the rear diff would be?im unsure if the oil is of mine thow as i have topark it were i can!
