getting close to a 180

looked at another one today 180 hatch in black with a red and black 1/2 leather interier liked it a lot only 17000 miles on a 54 plate
they are looking for
£6700 with 1 years road tax if i get it before the end of the month
or
£6700 with 6th months tax if i wait until the end of august...

going to push for the august one with 1 year tax

the car is spot on all very clean no marks but........

one of the side body kit bits needs re cliping on why they havent done this them self i dont know

and the rear bumber has had a small bump (no damage just a scratch that a quick blow over will cover up but the rear bumper is off its clip above the wheel arch mine is the same as i bashed mine into something as well
so this seems like a fault the mk2 has im sure a bit of tlc will get it back ok
any one else had troble with the rear bumper.

i really like this one but dont want to end up with a dogs dinner.......

sod it shall i just get it.........
: wacko:

sounds good mate, i really hope you get a ZS soon and stick around

my bumper on my 110 hangs low, like the clips are slack/bent, you dont notice it too much, is that what you mean?

hope you get it, got any pics?

One day it will be a sought after model, you have to buy one, just make sure you are happy with the car and the price you intend to pay. In real terms the price is down to what you are willing to pay and if depreciation bothers you, then you wouldn't be on these forums would you!

Good luck.

Seems quite reasonable to me...

If it's a trade sale i'd make them leave it straight for you RE the side skirt and bumper, and haggle for the Aug tax..... If it's private they are probably gonna tell you to take it or leave it, but they should be reasonably easy (and cheap) to fix.

Forget depreciation,all you will have is appreciation for MGR.They produced one of the best all round front driver cars off the time .On a shoe string budget too

well said Shroonie! Mine has dropped in price when I bought mine some years ago and you know what? I really don't care now as I intend to keep it a very long time. What else gives you all this in such a great package?

A truly underrated, under estimated car the ZS is.

When I was looking to sell mine I went to a couple of Garages who said that the ZS is losing £250 a month in depreciation and that in about 10 months time my car would be worthless, most of them said that there is no demand for them especially the 180 and that you cannot get hold of the parts.

I had to put them straight saying that there are a number of forums catering just for the ZS so they are in demand and that there are a number of companies out there specializing in MGR Parts, that's the point I told them to stick it.

Just glad that my situation changed for the better which allowed me to keep my car.
