XPG 180 update

mattie007 · 02-06-18, 07:17 PM

Just a quick update... due to a number of reasons and a house move unfortunately the ZS will be up for sale soon. It would have been great to keep her but any spare cash I have must now go on a house and that means selling the ZS. A tough decision, but a first house move is essential and it all happened so fast. If I could store her somewhere and go back in a few years that would be great, but I feel she should be out there on the road, not gathering dust!

I'm gutted as I have loved the car for the year and a half I've owned her and apart a small glitch after picking her up, she's been great

Had a great run down the A1 the other day, the sound and acceleration is stunning. I will never tire of that V6 as it bursts into life. Ive spent nearly as much again in that time on parts, servicing and MOT's but worth every penny.
If anyone is interested then let me know before eBay calls.
MOT is due in August so will try and sell before then and a friend who has a lotus and caterham track car is potentially having some of the performance parts I bought so will go to good use! Shouldn't have too much of a problem shifting the eibach springs and strut braces.

Shame but fully understand the reasons for doing so. I too had to sell a car to make a house move, hated it and still regret it today. It was my rare HSX Chevette twin cam I had at the time. I would love that zed back but I must stick with my faithful mk1! I have enough to do as it is.

Good luck and it will sell easily.

Thanks Mick, I hope it goes to a enthusiast as its a superb car.
At 33, I need my own place and if I don't jump now then I could be renting forever. I'll regret it as soon as it goes as these are future classics and only appreciating in value. For a V6, its relatively cheap to run. Tax and insurance is only around 40 quid a month but maintenance and fuel would cripple me for the next few years, money that needs to go on a house.

Wow - Didn't see that coming.

Hadn't you just sent it away to get a load of work done ... ?

It was on the verge of having work done, but unfortunately not now. Just wish I could keep it stored somewhere for a few years.

Now for sale, would love it to go to an enthusiast on here.
MOT passed last month
