This is the second flooded ZT I have seen for sale in recent weeks. Crying shame really, Although maybe a valuable source of spares?

Looking at the water line, I think it would be just a bit to much for me to attempt repairing.

I think expensive although water may not have gotten into the engine but its a risk

If it had a working clutch and mot then maybe the asking price would be a bit more realistic.

So, we have a ZT-T diesel with at least 140,000 miles on the clock, cherished by it's current owner since 16-11-18, that has no MOT, and at the last MOT had an advisory for rusted upper arms, has been flooded and now offered for three times the current scrap value.

Considering all of this, I suspect this not to be a good buy for anyone at all

The price is way to much, I suspect with it having no MOT, it wasnt insured either so they are trying to recoup what they can.
