New Guy Looking for a 260

[Charlie]

Hello,

Quick intro, I'm Charlie - live near Glasgow, married with one daughter.

Now, quite a bonafide petrol head having owned everything from a Alfa 156 2.5 Veloce, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, Jeep Grand Cherokee V8, E39 530i Sport, Zafira GSi and Impreza STi (plus lots and lots in between)

I recently sold the Impreza, time to grow up again the Mrs thinks - so on the look out for a sensibly priced ZT 260.

I fancied a drive in a 260 before commiting to buy, but unfortunatly I don't know of any near me up here!

SO......

Prefer a Mk1 (like the front styling) - must be SE model for the spec (zenons, leather, nav etc).

Would consider a ZTT - actually doesn't bother me.

Need history, or priced to reflect this.

As said I am "up north" but I will travel the country to buy the right car, so appreciate honesty in descriptions.

I have budgeted max £6500 for the perfect car for me, subject to condition/location/mileage/history etc (and after watching 260's prices for the past 6 month, this should get a good Mk1, possibly a MK2).

I am away for a short break to Newquay very soon, but will be checking emails etc.

If you are thinking of selling, or know anyone who is - be sure to think of me, PM me, or email spec/pics etc

Thanks for reading....

Charlie

p.s Yes, I have noticed the ZT on Ebay, etc, I am on there along with Pistonheads/Autotrader almost hourly

Welcome to the club mate! Have you seen the blue ZT-T MK1 V8 on piston heads and there are a couple on autotrader I will dig out the links if you like.

I know its a Mk2 that was Cat D but its a really good price for such a car and it looks like a monogram colour

Thanks.

I have seen the ZT-T, my Mrs contacted the gent on my behalf - seems finance is owed on the car which is more than I think it's worth (£6200 max) giving lack of history (or invoices etc)

Shame, nice car.

As said, I live, eat and breathe Autotrader/PH/Ebay just now, not in a huge hurry though, the cash is sitting just waiting on the right offer.

Thanks for the welcome guys

Cheers guys

I now own #216 (Solar Red Mk2 ZT, first of the Mk2 with Mk1 interior - call it Mk1.5 )
