Anyone looking for a ZS 180?(not mine)

Hi guys,

Haven't been on here for a while as I sold my ZS. I good friend of mine has been looking for a 180, and as this one was just down the road from me I went to look at it for him:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-52-MG...#ht_1947wt_208

Anyway, long story short he bought another one that was much closer to him (he's 2 hours away from this car, which is in Wycombe), so thought you guys could benefit from my viewing today

So, important things first: it has MOT til September, and has a receipt for the cambelt change 10,000 miles ago. It's only had two owners, drives very well, very clean in and out and has no odd knocks or bangs from the suspension or drivetrain.

Couple of points to bear in mind: no tax, so you'll need to factor that in. Front tyres are on the legal limit as well (Good-years all round, rears are fine). Clutch felt a little spongy as well, looks like it still has the original hydraulics.

Having said that, the seller was very genuine, happily took me on a long test drive, and will probably take £900 cash. It has a couple of marks but looks pretty smart, if I was in the market I would have bitten his hand off!

Just to clarify, I am in no way affiliated with the seller - I just thought someone on here could benefit from my experience

Well I did (albeit briefly!) consider ditching my Impreza to go back...

Looks a well kept example

Dont touch it, used to be in Newham east london for sale. Was there for ages so went to have a look at it, offered it to me for £700 before advertising it on ebay (see ads below). The spoiler is stuck on very crudley and under the bonnet looks a mess with a number of sensors missing or not plugged in.

& by looking at the wording, especially the £50 deposit it sounds like the same bloke in the old ads using a different ebay account ??

Eh, fair enough. I didn't know that bit. Only think I noticed was that the plastic cover was missing from under the bonnet, which is hardly the end of the world, but I'm by no means a mechanical genius. I guess excercise usual caution
