It is right. I looked his car up last night o the dvla site.

1st registered 17th of March 06. The tax hike is for cars registered on or after 23rd of March so it is the lower tax band.

I asked him for a BIN price. He said make and offer. I said ain't doing that as if I offer a grand you say bogg off and that's that, I say £3K and you run off the bank laughing. His response was it's created loads of interest so the figure he's looking for is close to my higher price - ie £3K !

I told him the interest was generated via the various forums and his long list of watchers will be mainly interested parties who are simply wondering what a high miles Mk2 would sell for given that the paint is circa £500 a litre - told him I'd be watching the auction and wished him all the best. Fair enough was his reply.

It'll get removed if it doesn't get him what he paid for it at least.

And - to make myself fell better and to convince myself to keep the money in the bank. It's PINK !

Thanks for that Dan!

I asked what it went for before as I'm thinking it may get bid up to that point at least so I'd have an idea!

I wouldn't pay £3k for a ZS full stop but one which has done nearly 20k miles a year I say good luck to him whatever colour it is!

It was on various classic car websites for £1500 as I was gonna go and look at it but it was sold before I had a chance.
If its low still I may bid, but not paying over the odds when I'm looking at mk2's with 32k on them

Original sale.

In that instance then yes be wary if the seller has been dishonest.

He paid less than £1500 for it I believe, if he's after 3k he's on drugs, rare colour or not.

I bid £601.01 - don't think I'll win - LOL

I wonder if the seller will get his mates to shill bid this one like he has before.

He sais on .org that apparently he didn't realise how much it would cost to insure it.

I doubt that's true, he's owned at least 2 mk2 180's prior to this one, the last one he sold because his wife didn't like it apparently.
