Thinking of selling up

Please don't flame me people but i am toying with the possibility of selling my zed mainly because i am struggling to keep it running because of fuel costs. How much do you think it is worth? it's a 54 plate xpg facelift 180 with 26000 on the clock lowered on eibachs piper stainless backbox all parts are available to turn back to standard if required.As has been said i am just considering this at the moment

Sad news Graham! Fuel costs are getting silly now. How about swapping it for a td or a 120? Dont wana lose you from "the firm" Btw if your getting rid of the exhaust let me know.

try and consider a 120 bud, i went from a 180 down to a 120, for the same reason. it takes a bit of getting used to but you can have just as much fun with a 120. Ask Jim he's been out in my car and was suprised how quick it is

Plus the 120 is considered as good if not a better handling car. A nice mk2 180 kitted zs would be my choice in that situation.

I know how you feel bud, that's why I bought a shed for work. I run up 350 miles a week to work and back, the 180 was hitting the wallet hard. Now I use it when I feel like it and save it for a Friday treat and weekends. Makes me appreciate it more. I couldn't downsize engine wise, been there before and found it a negative exercise and used just as much fuel to wind it up.

don't do it man! You'll regret it in the long run. As said if anything go for a 120. Sammy has proved that even the smaller engined cars can still look fantastic!
