Got an itch for a different car not 100% sure what yet but it will be alot bigger than the ZS and automatic!

The advice and opinions i'm after is should I try to sell mine as is or put it back to look more standard?

Modified cars don't bother me as I usually don't drive standard cars but not everyone wants them and i'm worried I will be narrowing my market!

Cheers

normally you get more money if you put back to standard and sell the parts

If you've got all the bits, definitely put it back to standard. Besides you can make even more money by selling the other bits off!!

I would buy the decat... :whistle:

Agreed with above though, broader market and usually more money if you sell the car as standard, bits seperately.

Your car is very nice!!

Auto?

I would say the price difference between the 2 would be too much for me to do though!!

Yep Auto ... Some of the guys have seen it. Went to Brands ... The coolant issue is sorted by the way guys ! Air block and replaced the bleed valve !

And, got a visit from TegTypeR yesterday and he reckons it's a decent looking motor too.

As for a price to change .... try me !

I'm looking at cars between £2.5-3k as I will probably need a smaller 2nd car for the missus and I'm budgeting on getting somewhere between £2-2.5k for mine thinking nearer the 2k mark though!

If that means that you can only add £1000ish to yours .... never mind.

Put the straights back on, sell the non-standard ones seperately .... Find a wee bit more and for £2,250 ......She's yours.

£2,250 plus my car but just with straights and not the 18s?

Haven't really looked at prices but what are the ZT-T's going for like yours?

There ain't another one like mine ..... :-D

Have a look about. As far as I know on the other sites, ZT/75 and .org, there are a few V8 saloons knocking about. I don't know of any V6 Auto ZT-T's in Bittersweet.

I wasn't trying to being funny just wondering what you were thinking mine might be worth?

I have now seen your for sale thread with your price so it seems you were allowing £2,250 for mine which is a decent price in my opinion I just don't have the extra to put towards yours at the moment!

they are only worth the book price. about £4250 according to black book. as i said above been a tourer its about £750 more than a saloon, if it were a diesel about £500 more again. goodies on them dont offer alot in terms of value either, especially in todays climate.
