Saloon or hatch? :)
 

Hey all,
I am currently on the hunt for a ZS (both mk1 120), I have two in mind and really can't make my mind up on which one to go with..

The saloon:
60,000 miles
Grey
New cambelt 3,000 miles ago

Hatch:
80,000 miles
Trophy blue
Unsure on cambelt, but I think it has been done recently

Is there any questions/things I should be looking for in particular?
Which one is the better one to go for? I couldn't really notice any differences between them other than the saloon, ofcourse being a saloon :P

Also, final question for today (I promise) is it worth looking into replacing the head gasket as soon as possible?

Thanks :D

Saloon, prefer the look, less mileage and definate recent belt change. No contest for me.

no u dont have to worry about the gasket if the cars been looked after

i like the saloon but it's all down to personal taste :smile1:

Have seen a few threads around the web where looked after cars have had hgf.
Can't do any harm to keep an eye on things though - must be a lot that have gone where owner only opens bonnet when something goes wrong.
Always worth bearing in mind that there are other sources of coolant loss - heater valve, water pump, thermostat & inlet manifold gasket (mine went a few weeks ago and a quick look could have led you to suspect hgf)

I prefer the look of the saloon ever so slightly. Would say the hatch is a little more practical though.

+ 1 but its up to personal taste

I prefer the saloon but looks so much better with the extreme spoiler.

Thanks for the comments and opinions guys/girls :)
I'm putting a deposit down tonight on the saloon :D Just need to get myself an extreme spoiler :D

i've got one for sale. :greedy:
