Crazy money for a non-SE in a Private sale.

Underpriced considering the comparative rarity of the model. Although I do have an interest in maintaining values.

Yeah, thats the old excuse normally trotted out for a car that has windup windows and zero toys.

Good god that is dismal

And I thought my ZT looked drab, add in some dark wheels and voila even worse

No interior pics either, not the best way of selling a car

I'm referring to the model in general, not the different specifications.

Ok... A bit of a rarity on the roads yes...

But that money, for that car, with that terrible description and a very basic car...

Stupid!

You could buy a decent E39 M5 for around that money and it'd run rings around the ZT 260!

Not trying to start a war; just stating a fact!

Why disparage the price of somebody else's car? It'll sell. At or near the asking price and in my experience increase slightly in value. A BMW M5 may well run rings around a 260 but that's not the point. One is the product of the Sports Division of a still extant mass market major car manufacturer; the other is the last hurrah of the indigenous, large scale, motor industry. As the numbers of standard ZT/75 production models decline those in reasonable condition will, probably, also increase in price. The market will decide. Not stating a fact, merely my opinion.

And these cars are worth many times more than their V6 equivalents, but £9K for a car with less toys than a 190+ for a car that the owner can't even bother to clean, let alone take the time to list properly, is wholly unrealistic, no matter what other V8 owners tell you.
