Still looking

Post by zycho » Wed May 18, 2011 9:03 pm

Hi
As the title suggests, i'm still looking for a suitable zed.
Missed out on getting a look at Eastys stunning 3.0 and a few others to boot.Most of the internet searches show most of the zeds to be south of the border which means planning and a long drive south.
Think i know now what i'm looking for after browsing the net for a few weeks.( silver3.0 )
So if anyone in Scotland is selling one ,please feel free to get in touch.
Meantime my search continues.

unless you have to get 1 soon then just take your time and enjoy the process, the more you look at the more you will learn about them

Took 14 months to find mine. Got a bargain (at the time though!)

Are you looking private sales only or do you include dealers? It maybe a long trip down but think of the journey back! :driving:

If its a dealer and something goes wrong theres always a way back. Appreciate not quite the same with a private sale. Having done 1500 miles round scotland recently, i only saw three Z's
Coupe - Montego Blue. 108's, simplest mod - second medical box :-)

The journey so far;
i) 1998 Ford Focus 1.8 Litre
ii) The Z
iii) what else is needed?

Hi

Enjoying having a good root around the forum and also keeping an eye on the classifieds, there is some usefull info regarding the removal of hoods and motors etc.
Get a bit impatient sometimes though.

I was looking for about 6 months before deciding to keep my diesel for another year to save money when exactly the car I wanted came up dor sale, would have gone anywhere In the country but it was 3 miles down the road and priced cheaply in the perfect spec for me! Went to see it thinking it would be a dog but it was immaculate so I HAD to buy it! :D

Point being it's the patient mans game and when you do find one you appreciate it more!

Good luck! :thumbsup:

Hi
Thanks for all your comments,obviously pays to be patient.
My birthday is not till August (pressie to myself) so i reckon i can wait a little longer.
Was initially going to get a bike but thought better of it, should have done it earlier though.

Found mine by accident. I didn't know I even wanted one until I saw it in the flesh.
Bought it last December, an April 04 model 2,880 miles on the clock.
Keep looking, it's worth the wait. :D
