Even if you paid the asking price when you got there, car would stand you at £6,950, sat on your drive!

Get it bought!

Just wish that I had £6,000 free, otherwise I'd buy the ****** thing myself!
Really??????, I think it's over priced

For a ZT V8, I'd probably agree with the £6,000

But for this particular 75 perhaps not. Mileage is not the issue. The statement about the bumper (being premium)and the valet makes me nervous. Also the higher tax bracket may be a turn off. Plus the colour is all wrong

I'd start with £4,995

Blimey, it's not often that you think a V8 is worth less than me!

Are we expecting snow at the weekend?

Silver doesn't do the car any favours, but there are people out there that like it!

The only reason that I think that it's worth the money, is because if it's provenance!

If you were to go out and try and buy another one owner, 22,000 75 V8, you'd be late home!

I'm sooooo pleased I can still surprise you

And if provenance refers to 'work of art' so are all the other 75's or ZT's.
The engine is just a means of propelling this historical piece of English sculpture

Well if I check my emails in the morning and there's one from the Lotto, I'll be hitting the "Buy It Now" button!

Not often I agree with Mr.D but some sellers.......................

Was it instantly declined?

If it was, they may have it set to automatically reject amounts below £xxx.

So they wont even know you've made an offer.

I suppose if its only just been listed (has it??) they may want to gauge interest first.

Provenance, refers to the fact that it's 10 year old car that only had one owner and covered 22,000 miles!

There can't be many 75's or ZT's that share that, whatever power plant they have, let alone a derivative made in such limited numbers!
