Mg zs mk2 180

[Smokey]

Have searched the usual eBay, Gumtree, Pistonheads etc.

SPEC:

MK2 180
Saloon preferred but Hatch may be viable
Any colour
60,000 miles or less preferred but belts must be done
Long MOT, some tax
No dents/damage, needs to be a good condition car
BUDGET - £2000 maximum, has to be a good example for that
Mods would be nice but not essential.

There's a silver saloon with alcantara for sale on RT

Some slight issues like wing spat creased but it comes with a new one.

£750

Edit: a deposit is on it sorry mate.

[Smokey]

Yeah, avoiding 'issues' this time. Would rather pay a grand more and have no issues and a long mot. Cheers though.

[Skillen]

Makes sense to avoid them!
Mine had "issues" and I have now sorted the ones it had and now I keep finding my own "issues" otherwise known as excuses to upgrade ha!

[Smokey]

I'll be stripping my upgrades and recycling them!

I've got a 52 MK1 Saloon, LeMans green, 64k miles and had the belts done. Fantastic condition, belts done, serviced. Absolutely immaculate inside. Just about to fit a new exhaust to it (cat back). Drives superb, nice standard example which hasn't been messed about with and I've just waxoiled it all, Dynax S50 in all the box sections as well plus fuel tanks been off and undersealed that and underneath the fuel tank as well. MOT Jan 2015 and tax June 2014. Taken me 6 days to do all of that.

Not a MK2 but a stunning and rare MK1 nonetheless.

[Smokey]

Has to be a mk2 mate, cheers.

[MG ZS STE]

This is a very nice example indeed. Worth the extra imo.

Already looked that ad. Spoke to the guy and he refused £2500 so no chance and I'm not willing to spend that much more.

[Smokey]

Not many on the go at the moment I notice. I remember the days of a flooded market!

[MG ZS STE]

Not sure if you've already seen this one but thought I'd post it up anyway.

[andys1981]

[Smokey]

Cheers Andy. Shame it's not another colour, 2 black, 2 red and 1 blue. Still a few colours out there lol.

[Stephen]

Nice one mate!

[Smokey]

Yeah, looking forward to finally having symmetry at the back with the twin pipe!

[Dan1971]

Nice one Smokey .... "tick tock" Monday's ages away !

(Comments noted Stamford by the way .... Smokey - don't tell him I offerred you mine - for about 5 mins anyway ... :rofl: .... )

[Smokey]

Haha, I was keeping quiet but I suspect you let the cat out of the bag!

[MG ZS STE]

I suspect demand (if not already) will soon outstrip supply. Which should have a positive effect on price.

[Smokey]

I won't be popular when I put mine up for stripping then!

[stamford]

Dan never did! :sly: I am shocked :D

[POMPSKI]

Good news :wub:

[Smokey]

I'd buy his steering wheel, gaiter, seats etc. They are all mint!

[MG ZS STE]

take that lot out and its just another MK2 that needs the belts doing :wave:

[Smokey]

That won't be this year lol!

[Bobdope2002]

what happened to the other one then??

[Smokey]

Tim, you don't want the list lol. Just the usual cost of repair outweighing the value of the car!

[Bobdope2002]

no i mean the other black zs you were interested in??

[Smokey]

Oh right, he wouldn't budge on price.

[Bobdope2002]

oh right lol, so whats the problems on the zs you got now just curious and being nosey haha

[Smokey]

Noted in another post, leaking fuel at the fill area, rattle in engine but not the usual plenum as I've had 3 on it that have been perfect on my other one, loads of wee niggles and just too costly

[Bobdope2002]

ahh makes sense and was too lazy look for other post :p

Anyways back on topic :D

[Smokey]

Anyways back on topic :D

Well, I now have a new car so the topic has pretty much run its course lol!
