Is anyone else from here? If they are I wont bid again as it will push the price up for them?

I've stuck a quick bid in. Only 5 miles up the road from me and want to upgrade from a ZR to a ZS.

But don't let that stop you if you're also after this one guys.

within 45 seconds it went from £960 to £1200. That escalated quickly!

£1200 - nearly £400 more than a hatch and more than I was going to.

£1200 who won it ?, I noticed it was mis-listed in the everything else category on ebay.

If I hadn't of got 2 ZS already I would've bid in that

Did consider the hatch also to be fair

With the saloon, the seller did respond to the cambelt question and has not been done :(


Dear jamesrraby,

I don't know what filter it is as it was on the car when I purchased it and the belts have not been done to my knowledge. The exhaust is standard and had a new centre six months ago

Yep, I managed to win the auction. £1,200 was my limit because as James said the belts need doing which isn't a cheap job.

Once the weather has cleared up i'll go and collect it and get some pictures up.

still a good buy I think
Bit of a clean up and all is good :)

I'm be-grudged to sell my ZS mk1's pureply due to the fact I know whats been done to them and how they drive etc

I just can't see the point in selling something that I know is perfectly fine!

I nearly bid £1200.01, I asked before the end of the auction so that I didn't bid up the price for you.

I recently bid a car up £150 against another member because they wouldn't share their price, if I am willing to go up to X and someone else is going to X+£100 there is no point in me bidding to X as that just puts the price up for them.

That hatch didn't sell via the auction at £800+. It was withdrawn before the end.

Are you sure? Ad says it was sold for £820.01 that was bid 2 minutes before the end of the auction and was £20 over my bid.

it says sold, so sold is sold....

If you look at the original listing it says it ended early as the car is longer available.

hmmm, tricky one that - it does seem was ended to the higher bidder.....

I think Dan is right, the current listing say the auction was ended because the seller said the car was sold. So sounds like it was sold outside of ebay (or so the seller says) minutes before it would have been sold on ebay

I reckon the guy was scared and withdrew it. It'll be back up again in a week or so saying he got let down blah blah......
