What car?

[Maxxed_Ross]

I've worked out that after I've finished this contract offshore in about 4 months time I'll have enough cash to buy the ZS I've been after for ages. :happy2:

There's a couple of Ignition Blue 180's on Autotrader just now, but which one looks best?

I'm after the saloon so it's either the 2005 3rd from the bottom or the 2006 one at the end

Is the 2006 worth the extra cash?

Also how much would I be looking at to fit the xtreame spoler to the 2005 one as it doesn't have one

cheers in advance! :smile2:

Well i would say those cars will have gone in 4months so best to look when you have finished the time.

[Maxxed_Ross]

yeah I know, but I was wondering now lol

I'm bored, it's a very slow day at work

Remember Ross, I 'll blag the alcantara interior :police:

[RalphG]

Ross, I assume that you are aware that the link that you posted includes your post code...

[Maxxed_Ross]

yeah but luckily the postcodes in Falkirk are a bit weird, put my postcode into a route finder and it starts no where near my house! :blink:

Yeah I'm remembering... but I'm keeping it if it's blue - I like the blue :cool2:

[kmooreZS180]

I would sat the newer one is too expensive, should be nearer
£9k

[stamford]

I do believe they are somewhat optimistic with their pricing of the last one there! Who is going to pay that price?

[Maxxed_Ross]

Yeah but they expect a bit of haggling.

I've got alot on my side though, no trade in and paying cash so should be able to knock it down a bit

[chriszs180]

picking up my zs180 hatch tonight and i got them down to £6500 with full year tax a new mot, network Q vauxhall cheacks and 3 month warrenty oh and 1 weeks free insurance... so ok
they wanted £7000 and its a 54 plate if that helps you

watch the 2006 registered one as it will probably be in the governments new high tax band £300 this year rising to £400 next year.

For that reason i would go with a slightly older one as the road tax will only be £205

[Steves Cleenz]

i would look around as my brother picked up a 55 reg ignition blue 180 with the alacantara interior for £6800, the prices are all over the shop at the moment but if you do see a cheap one get it, have you had a look on www.pistonheads.com ? always a bargain on there, but i am sure there is a bloke that comes to the midlands meet with an ignition blue 180 that is thinking on selling his one.

good grief!!! That's put me right off :rip:

[stamford]

I must admit I did not give the tax issue a thought, but what a rip off! Onwards of 23rd March 2006 it is indeed expensive! All for a miserly 002g/km over the limit too.

[georgiansoccer]

just get a facelift one registered before 23rd March 2006 and you will be fine
