The time has come!! (I think anyway)

[idge2003]

Well the 180 passed its M.O.T today just needing 2 sidelight bulbs (what a job that is with a hot engine!!!) and an advisory for front tyres soon!

Thing is I always wanted one but I've now had it almost 2 years and am getting the urge for something else but can't see it go for peanuts so is the Parkers price for good private of ?1105 anywhere near right???

The car is the one in my sig with the listed mods has done almost 92K and has FSH!

Any advice welcomed.

+1 im on my third zs180 mate cause i buy one then think i fancy something else,get rid and end up regretting and missing it an then buying another one

i am kind of in the same boat,absolutely love my 180 only had it since jan,but the petrol is the only thing thats getting me,dont think a could sell it tbh

[Dan1971]

About right if the belts need doing I reckon.

[idge2003]

I normally don't have a car much more than 6 months so to have it 2 years is a miracle just wanting something better built that doesn't rattle bang and knock over every imperfection in the road and believe me theres alot round this way!!!

Petrol isn't the problem as I'm thinking about bigger engined cars anyway!

Brett

[idge2003]

Belts were done on 70K!

Brett

Depends on your budget.

For 2k there REALLY isn't much/anything else as good or better for the money hence people end up buying another.

If you have more to splash, something with 8 cylinders maybe?

[idge2003]

Another couple of grand on what i get for the 180 maybe a little bit more!

But if the Parkers price is near to what I'll get it'll get broke!!

Brett

[Phate]

So for argument sake, 5k?

I can't think of anything else for 5k I'd rather have. Lots of cars out there, E36 328i maybe, or a 200sx, a Scooby if you can handle the running costs.

[idge2003]

I have a hankering for a luxury barge!!

Brett

[Phate]

E39 BMW 530i.

Keep a grand or so in the bank for the 'when it breaks' fund :)

[idge2003]

I'd be thinking A8 or 7 Series more than a 5 Series I'd say!

Brett

[idge2003]

Right I have my heart set on an Audi A8 Sport so the 180 is gonna be going.

Now firstly what do you guys think would be a sensible asking price?

Would expecting at least 1500 quid be a step too far?

Cheers Brett

Well I've been looking and they seem to be growing in value...

So no providing the condition is good :)

[idge2003]

That's good news at least. I had looked on autotrader which I know doesn't prove anything but the cheapest 180 within 100 miles was 2 grand so was wondering!

Brett

[idge2003]

Well I took the plunge and bought myself a BMW 740i and its such a lovely car to drive!

So once its had a good clean up the MG will be being sold so just gotta decide on what to advertise it for.

if i were looking for a new car, and i may be thinking about it, i would keep the 180. Its worth far more to me than in a trade in and also i bought it new so kinda fond of it....:love:

Same here, I bought the TD5 Discovery for the family hack, dog wagon and tow vehicle, the zed stays and used for fun :D

[idge2003]

I can see where your coming from but I only have the 1 parking space now and I also wouldn't want to keep the ZS MOT'd taxed and insured knowing I would never really use it as I had a comfy car to use!
