I do know an owner of a blown ZT260 (enter here none SE or poverty spec) that is very happy not to have the extra weight of the SE slowing him down . |

It's nice to have the option of not paying for things on the car that you don't really want. |

Is £6.5k a reasonable price?
After all these years, I still yearn for a V8 tourer! (And surely, it must be more reliable than the bloomin' BMW Diesel version! :lol |

If you can afford it and willing to pay it's a good price. It's a Tourer, not too many miles, should fetch 6k+ imho It has service history as well which helps Last edited by VMax1000; 11th February 2013 at 22:13.. Reason: Typo |

Tourers are ultra rare - only 2 on the market at the moment. IMO its good value for £6.5k....

Given that the other option on the Bay and Autotrader is an SE with twice the miles for £8250, £6.5 does look good. Shame it's so far from me! The Solar Red ZTT260 is in Slough, and therefore much closer...
Are either of these cars known to the club? |

If its the car you want and the price is good, is it worth travelling for?
You could always ask a a local forum member to view the car if possible? Apart from the tyres, it looks like its been owned and looked after by an enthusiast, so should be a good'un. On the other hand the red one is high miles, but local and an SE, which is quite alot of equipment. Maybe use the high miles to haggle the price a little? The 260s Forum is the place to ask if either of them are known - I think the owner of the red one is on the forum..... |

Good suggestions, thanks.
I need to persuade the missus that it is a good idea now. Thing is though, she'd use it to commute to work, which may be a good way of burning money in stop/start traffic conditions. Not that any car is particularly economical under such conditions of course, unless fitted with stop/start. Is there a buyers guide/ common problems list on the net somewhere? |
