Adivce Needed Please
Hi
I have been going past a dealer who has a 2003 ZT+ 2.0 diesel in a lovely flip paint colour in has 65,000 miles on it, ex company car FSH. Before I part with some hard earned cash I would be grateful if someone could give me some idea on things to look at and are they good cars Thanks |
Hi there
I'm on the petrol side of the house but I'm sure one of the diesel boys will be along soon. In general they are very good cars, not a lot goes wrong but (again) the diesel owners will tell you what to look out for. cheers Roy |
This car is just under 5000
it has got typoon (I think) Paint so say a expensive option Leather and Blue Alcantara Reverse Sensor and Cruise control |
Typhoon is a 'monogram' paint. Very smart but touch up etc will cost more There is a supplier identified and Keith on here will point you in the right direction if you buy. Sounds like a nice motor :)

sorry i mean 5000
after they take of money for my cavalier |
Buy A Diesel?
Hi Dyl,
I have had a 75 2.0 CDTi 131 for over 2 years and I have found it to be an excellent car with very good build quality. The diesel option on the 75 range is generally very highly regarded. So far I have had no problems except a duff CD player on the ICE (cheap to replace via EBay) and a few lines disappearing on the trip computer display. Otherwise it has been very reliable and very frugal on fuel (for a big car). Hope this helps, Rgds |

For that sort of money get an independant inspection done and make sure the car has a FSH. These were not cheap cars to start with and can therefore be very expensive on major repairs. 65,000 miles means the car is around a 1/4 the way through it's life, clutch would be my main concern here. The engines tend to be bullet proof. Hope this helps |
I think 5k plus your PX is a good price for a 2003 car Typhoon was an expensive option and until recently touch up was only available in half litre minimum for around £285
Paints4u now do 100ml for £39.99 still a bit expensive but then few cars colour look like this (masking was for a Bumper off exercise btw) If you buy get a years warranty not that you will need it but no harm having one A damn good car imho in one of the best colours! |

Diesel engine is a great unit, smooth inexpensive to run and will hold it's value better. Cruise control is great and reverse sensors a good thing to have. John. |
