may also consider a mk1 with mk2 facelift or a special mk1 ie differant from the norm .

Have you had any luck yet?

You can have my MK2 plus you can give me £2500. Seems fair for getting a well specced' up 2005 MK2 in exchange for an 03 MK1 !

Guy wanted a straight swap for mine ..... hmmmm ..... I think his valuation of his own car is a bit off .

[Mat C]

Yeah, 2003 160's are available from as little as £2000 and they are on average between £2500 and £3000 for that age.

[garryblueboyt]

get real chaps you think 4.5k for a zs is realistic when car tax is going to be over 300 next year and the £430 the next and petroel prices as are please . and yes 160 32k is worth well over 3k but if you have a 160 you know of for 2k then i have a buyer for cash .
and i would consider some cash as well with my car but be realistic your cars are not worth what they were .

[garryblueboyt]

oh and by the way dan think yours maybe a little overpriced been on here and ebay a while .

[Smokey]

well to confirm the value insurance wise for the mk zs mk2 with 38k I am getting £5000 so its definately a good deal at £4500

£4500 is a bargain for a good MK2, even for an average MK2 so i suggest it is you who needs to get real. Car tax raise is irrelevant now - anyone wanting a performance car is going to have to pay high tax no matter what brand of car they choose. No one - and i will bet my house on it - will swap a MK1 53 plate ZR for a MK2 ZS - even the 1.6 110's still command around £4000. Also, if your buyer for cash would care to look on Autotrader he will find plenty of 160's for anywhere between 2 and 3 thousand all in original spec' which as any car trader will tell you is far more desirable. I don't think i will be alone here in saying your attitude is poor - especially telling a respected forum member that you think he has priced his car too high when you have this comedy sales pitch !

Bless .... Good luck mate.

[stamford]

Well bud I think you have blown your chances of doing any sort of deal on this forum with that pitch. No-one in their right mind is going to do a straight swap from a mk2 ZS to a mk1 ZR, if they did they would need sectioning!

[arwilson80]

TBH the price you will get will depend on how long you are prepared to 'hold out', and if you wait long enough you will get what you are after. Supply & demand. ;)

At 4.5k a ZS is A LOT of car for the money.

As for car tax... I know i'm not going to just fall over and stop driving the 180 just because the government wants £400 for tax. I pay that just to park my car for the year.

[garryblueboyt]

i put up a post for a possable swap not asking a value for my car like i said i was prepaired to make up any differance in values but dont insult me by saying my cars worth 2k or there abouts look in parkers, what car , wisebuyer and the values are close to zs so all im saying is be fair as for blowing my chances grow up your as bad as the kids on the zr forum thought you would be grown ups.
so im supposed to let you run down my car cos its not a zs
but yours are top .ok
i was with this forum before when i owned a zs and found it very use full but obviously some people are not if your not interested dont post quite simple really .

[garryblueboyt]

sorry MC but where does it say straight swap all i asked was dont slate my car it is you i think is off with your comments why cos you have been a member longer gives you the right to say as you please im not slating the zs or why would i want another one all i said was the values are not miles apart and mine is a performance car also, as ive owned both there is little in the way of performance differance standered of course before i get shot down so sorry if and i say if i offended anybody but im allowed as did several members who valued my car also alowed to value theres .

[stamford]

Dan's ZS is a fine exmaple and didn't the post reflect a swap comment?

As for saying grow up, I think you ought to revise what you post, comments like that will not make friends or influence people.

No-one is slating a ZR, so where did you get that idea from? We have many members in here who have owned ZRs and you know who they are.

[Mat C]

Indeed, i owned a ZR160 for 4 years. In that time it became one of the most well known ZR's around being the 1st to have what everyone refers to as the rally bumper (it's callled the Super1600 bumper) plus mine also had the only ever Super1600 rear wing. It also had a genuine 180+bhp plus due to MG themselves re-tuning it due to them using my car as a demo' car for the 2003/4 seasons at the BTCC on their merchandise/display stand.
But even with 180+ bhp in a ZR, a ZS180 will leave them in it's wake - it's that wonderful thing called mid-range torque harnessed by a chassis with fully independant suspension, not a solid rear axle. No one has run down your car, we have merely pointed out that your values of yours are well out and that you are de-valluing ours. Doesn't matter what Parkers says - it's what the paying public are willing to shell out that matters.

[garryblueboyt]

look lets leave at this i not implying the worth of anbodys car nor should they mine i did not start with the valueing process im not putting anybodys car down my post is im interested in a swap if anbody else was with or with out cash im not implying a straight swap for a 2005 mk2 for a 2003 mk1 so where did you get that from im not an 18yr old im a mature 45yr old looking to trade my car if you dont want to fine dont post but human nature people cant resist spamming posts by saying he over values his car or its a bit chavtastic or, well dont comment unless you want to enter in to a deal, and as for the performance bit its the driver not the car zs is a very capable car hence why again im looking to get another so as ive said and nobody listens looking to swap my zr+ possble cash for right car

[bigfella]

Who would swap a Mk2 ZS for a Mk1 ZR unless there was a decent amount of money involved. The ZR is the lesser of the 2!

[garryblueboyt]

we will see

See you in the next 100 years

[Dave MGT]

Have to agree with the sunstrip and side skirts:sick:. Strange boot spoiler as well by the look of it?

[john180]

[Bobdope2002]

[garryblueboyt]

[Dan1971]

I was offerred it too via fleabay the other day ...... Didn't fancy it though. Hope it's a good one for you.

[garryblueboyt]

got lots of service history and bills for usuall things that go wrong so fingers crossed.

[Bobdope2002]

not to my taste mate but good luck with the new motor

[stamford]

A most unusual swap deal, who has the better deal remains to be seen. Hope it works out okay for you mate. The additions are somewhat against the grain of a typical ZT owner. Best of luck.

I thought about that VW Golf advert where they were all crying when they'd been "chavved" .... At least it looks like the car's gonna get back to normal now. God only knows what the new owner will do to the ZR !!! :clown:

[TjP]

Whats the mileage on the ZT? Id imagine it would be quite high-ish, to swap for a low mileage ZR160. Grats on the new car though, hopefully its not a lemon!

Mk1 ZT is a nice car, and I think I prefer it to the Mk2. My Dad had a 2.0TDI one and that was te first car I ever drifted/power slided in :D - Pendine Sands is a brilliant place for it, or it was... before they banned cars on the beach.

[garryblueboyt]

milage is 80k but recent head gaskit replacement along with uprated clutch and master clyinder and fuel pump recipts for all from same dealer so hopefully all should be well.

[Bobdope2002]

unlucky post count number 13 for you mate

id have hated to say all that on that number good luck mate

[garryblueboyt]

cheers well rabbits foot and like from now on then

[Bobdope2002]

Dont walk on three grids and all that
