Has anyone else looked on there recently? i am shocked at the price's, a ZS 120 for £475, and a 180 with 45k for £1300, absolute bargins, I can't believe I paid £2800 3 years ago. In my mind a mint mk1 should still be worth what I paid.
Such a shame to see them go so cheap :( such an under rated car, I am so so glad I came across the ZS when I was upgrading my old car :)

There have been some nice mk2 180's go for just over £1500.

Ive been watching the prices while I think about selling my kitcar or not. Thing is I spent more on tires for my mk1 a few weeks back than I would get for it if I bought a mk2.

It’s not just ZS’s that are suffering – one of my friends drives an Alfa GTV V6, the second hand value of those has dropped like a stone over the last 18 months, take a look at the prices of RX8’s too…

We have reached a point where the car is worth more in parts than as a whole, a shame if you are trying to sell but look at the positive, it means an ample supply of second hand parts driving down the price, the poorer examples will be broken or scrapped ultimately making the cars more desirable and prices will start to rise again (this may take a few years yet!)

There is no doubt about it the ZS is a fantastic second hand buy at the mo, not so good if you are selling but weigh up what you loose on selling against the bargain you are getting buying another

I paid £1300 for mine and don't regret a penny of it :thumbsup:

I paid £3750, but that was 6 years ago.
It's worth at least a grand to me so that's less than £500 depreciation a year. Not bad?

My MK2 is up for sale, and I in two minds of just whacking it in the garage and let it live a pandered life in there for a few years, the prices seem to be getting to giveaway, even for Mk2. I am absolutely sure the prices will rise. Look at 2.8 Capri for example, and I hope because that as its a Mk2, there are less of them around and worth more.

Thats why I am quite hoping no one phones to come and see my Mk2 :whistle:

I bought my first ZS180 for £13,650!! I knew the sales man so got a good discount on the rrp. Unfortunatly it was a 5 o'clock model and went back to the dealer 21 in 20 months :( That kind of put me off it so I traded it for a practical 4X4, the hard par was getting only £8,500 for it in part x !! Especially as it was mint, only 22 months old with less than 20,000 on the clock :( I still used to see it driving about a lot which only added to the misery of loosing some £5,000 although i'v not seen it for a year or so now!!
