Be interesting to take it for a test drive, bet the discs and calipers look like they've been at the bottom of the sea for the last 10 years.

Holy.... Efffing..... ****!!!
It's a nice looking car but Jesus it isn't worth that!

A 75 tourer on there for £8k

£14k for a ZT190
No wonder they aren't shifting.
Yes they are unregistered but that doesn't mean they are a new car.
If they dropped the prices to a more reasonable figure they'd get snapped up!

In reality it's an 8 year old car.

At 3,000 miles the belts will be fine. Ok so they are ovet due on time but they are so far short on miles there isn't any rush to get them done. The timing belt system is nice and strong so should last 10 years without a problem if the milage is low. I've changed lots of KV6 belts with 60- 70, 000 miles and knocking on 10 years, none of which look in a bad way at all. I recon Mgr were playing it safe or trying to drum up future work for the dealers by setting a 6 year interval.

The discs will be shot as will the flexy pipes and fluid. I expect the boot will be pretty much full of water too!
