Parting with the ZS

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Well I've finally pulled the trigger on parting with the ZS
As much as I've moaned about it recently it has been a joy to drive & still a great looking car
with around 6 years ownership it is by far the longest I've held on to any car
Will still pop in here now and then to see how you are getting on and will most likely regret giving up my own ZS looking at other ones
Don't part with it till Friday so until then I'm gonna make the most of it
Big thanks to all here who have helped me along the way.

Was actually on Sunday mate, hunting for a Fiesta Zetec ecoboost for Tracey & as she was busy looking at all the nice newish cars I wondered over to the old trade in section.
Hyundai Coupe caught my eye, truth be told I don't have much money to put towards a car for myself as Traceys Fiesta wont be cheap
Spoke to dealer & struck a deal, only 42k with lots of toys
Not everyones cup of tea but & like I Said to you it isn't anywhere close to the ZS on handling or performance
Few mods will make it more a warm hatch.
No pics of actuall car but this is identical

Shame indeed but we all move on at some point, stay around though. Sam (ZS) can point you towards a suitable forum ;)

[Dan1971]

Like the shape of those ones mate - should prove a decent reliable motor. What engine?

You get a Fezza? That's what I'm in now - Fiesta ecoboost. Great little car. Can't recommend it highly enough.

As said though - stick around.

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Dan the Mrs has been after a Fezzie for a while now, I wasn't too keen on them at 1st but after taking a test drive in the 1litre ecoboost I was really surprised by it
Still think it's way too much money though but buying used 2-3yrs at 15-20k miles
Really like the Zetec S trim but her indoors ain't too keen.
Going looking for her again next Wkend.
It's the 2litre on the Coupe I got, around 140bhp & hopefully a few mods should help it along.

[Dan1971]

Great little car mate - surprised me too. My first one was a Zetec S. Not sure what your budget is, but if you look at Motorpoint they have loads.

Mine's a 3dr 100bhp Zetec, but quite a late build 2015 pre-registered car so comes with DAB and running lights. £10K. Not a lot in it performance-wise at all - if anything compared to my Zetec S which was 125bhp. Ford direct are chucking another £350 in on a finance deal if you buy one from them. Mine's on a PCP finance deal so low payments every month. They've got loads too, so make some calls. If you can, try to get one that has the DAB upgrade. Was only a £100 option when new but makes a big difference IMHO. Titanium's quite a nice spec.

Couldnt help get one last photo & it was with a heavy heart driving away and looking at the ZS in rear view mirror

Garage didn't waste anytime and have mine listed on Autotrader

[Dan1971]

How much did they give you for it?

If it sells at that price they will make a tidy profit
However for what I got for it & repairs needed to be done by dealers warranty
Alternator, tyres, inlet mani Gasket, and some other jobs then reckon they are selling at a fair price to leave them some profit
I would love to see it getting sorted & running up to standard.

Dealer has listed it having aircon etc ??
No aircon or electric windows in it so don't know where that info came from.

Good luck with the new car mate see you back in a zs in the near future lol

[red robbo]

Heck! I'm leaving the fold too!
Provisionally sold the ZS. Viewed 3 Mazda 3 MPS's up to now (MKI's), but not been too happy with 'em. Still searching
MOT on the Zed this coming Thursday, then soon it'll be time to say goodbye......assuming the MPS search is fruitful of course.

[Maxfly]

Best of luck Marcus, quite like them coupes. Mate had the pre facelift version with the V6, probably more a tourer compared to the zs but plenty toys and comfort for your money.
