MG ZT-T 135 + Firefrost Red May 2004

Rincewind · 12th August 2008, 18:40

The time has come to pass "Frosty" on to a new owner due to a change of circumstances so I'm putting him up for re-homing (a little bit reluctantly but you have to roll with the punches as it were).

Here's his specifications

Registered May 2004 so he's a facelift model
63, 500 miles
ZT-T 135 + diesel spec with the usual refinements (real 131ps not an X Power upgrade).
Red Alcantara seats that look fantastic with the Firefrost Peal paintwork.
Tax till next June
MOT next May
FSH but MGR dealers (pre MGR closure and after)
Kenwood stero and 6 disc changer
Good rear tyres approx 5 to 6 mm left on them
Will replace the front tyres before hand over or will reduce the sale price accordingly to reflect this should the new owner wish to change them.
Some scuffs to the body work as you would expect on a car of this age.
Scuff to offside rear bumper where someone took a fancy to it in a car park but nothing dramatic (I have a tub of touch up paint!)
Some scuffs to alloys but they were there when I bought the car.
Brand new discs and brake pads all round in the last 1000 miles
Currently has a Rover Ron box fitted that I will sell with the car if it goes to someone on a forum, otherwise I'll take it off and sell it separately.
Has been a total pleasure to own and drive.

Would like to see the car go to someone who will enjoy their time with it and look after it.

£7995 ono.

If you're interested, please drop me a Pm and I can arrange a viewing/test drive and so on.

Currently has a private plate on that will be taken off and hopefully reverted back to original plate.

Thanks

Nic

Has anyone had any success with selling their car on Autotrader of late????

Could do with some advice as I need to pass my ZT-T on to a new owner.

Cheers

Nic

Not the best time to sell on there at the moment Nic everyone seems to think prices should be rock bottom.
Stick for what you want if you can.
A nice example like yours should go to a person in the know about these cars.

I know the market is pants at the moment, but trying to find that "one" will be the problem!!!

I'm sure that when interest arrives it will be like a bunch of busses turning up!!

I do hope you are not leaving the Forums Nic,
everyone welcome with or without a "decent" car.

Nice Car Nic, good luck- unfortunately not enough people know how good our cars are !!

Oh, and dont leave us !

Rincewind · 15th August 2008, 08:15

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still going to lurk if and when the car goes.

As for prices, it's been more of a toe dipping exercise to begin with and depending on what happens in the next few weeks (Baby number 2 should have arrived on the 12th and it's now the 15th so like his/her mum, he or she is late!!!), I'll pull the price down to a more realistic figure.

If you don't try these things, you'll never know.

Oh, and I'm not going anywhere - did I mention that he he!!

You must be buying a V8, Nic, yes?

Sorry to have missed you at Gaydon MGFest. Bit of a mixup with lecture timings.
