Whats my diesel ZS worth?

[Jem]

Its time to move on from the ZS and go onto a ZT,Im not sure what sort of price im going to get for it,I cant really be without a car so if i find a ZT at a dealer then it would be easier but then they are not going to give me to much for it are they.

It passed the mot on saturday and its was taxed at the start of this month,Mileage is 33195. I did get a advisory notice on the tyres saying they were all close to the legal limit,So it will have a set of new tyres soon.

The back windscreen washer doesn't work for some reason.

Its a ZS 115+ registered 06 but it was made in 05.

It has a spoiler/side skirts+decat and a PowerFlow Stainless Steel exhaust no other mods.

Belts were done this year march time. Also i regassed the aircon about three weeks ago and they added dye for and future problems. In December 2010 the battery was replaced with a Bosch one.

I might be interested mate just finding it real hard to let the 180 go though.. as for what its worth I have no idea but you will get a much better private because a dealer will pull your pants down on the price.

have a look on pistonheads and autotrader, it sounds like a good one tho, so you could be looking at around 2.5-3k

Yes you are right a dealer would be pulling my pants down lol,Ive not seen diesel ZT's around my area so it might be a hard one to find,Let me if you ever have the heart to let yours go.

Its 194g/km CO2... so Band J... which is ?245 a year on the current rates (My ZS180 is ?260 a year)

[Jem]

Thanks for that info and this is another reason im after a diesel i cant justify paying that much for tax. Way to high for the amout of use i will be using it for.

Your welcome :)

The diesels are ?165 a year to tax? Thats a rip for a car that pollutes more than its petrol equivalents ;)

As for this ZT... MOT March 2012, Tax September 2011...

[Jem]

I think im use to paying cheap tax cant beat 130 at the moment for my ZS,I think i can just about handle ?165 for a ZT diesel.

[lawrence-zs180]

what are you after for it?
My second chef had a run in with a dear whilst I was on hols so is on the hunt

Must admit ?130 a year Tax is tempting... but at 10p a litre more expensive for Diesel over Petrol the Diesel would have to go quite a bit longer on a tank than my 180!

How much are you hoping to get for the ZS?

Hi

Ive just made a thread in the for sale part.

But chatting to someone who use to work for MG/R said there would be no harm in asking for ?3,000 as its just had its mot and tax.

Just a quite go on the calculater will show us:

Diesel @ 50mpg 13ppm 550 miles to tank ?135 tax 10k per year ?1435
120 petrol @ 40mpg 15ppm 440 miles ?190 tax " " " ?1690
180 petrol @ 30mpg 20ppm 330 miles ?260 tax " " " ?2260

We all know you need to drive a petrol like a grandad to get those mpg's but the diesel gives that as an average driving normally
The more miles the more cost difference. I have owned all 3 cars and I will now stick with the diesel. I loved my 180 just can't afford to run one now.

On another note as far as prices for diesels I paid ?2700 for a 55 plate diesel with 20k on it and full 180 kit as standard in March.:beer2:
