sold the fiesta its time for ZT!

tezzer · 18th January 2011, 20:26

sold the fiesta today £2400! good deal for all now on the look out for 1.8 or 1.8t saloon zt. the search begins. not looking to spend no more than £3000 but that should be enough to pick a nice one up... seen a couple on autotrader but they all seem to be 150+ miles away.

Plenty of decent 1.8s out there going cheap. The only heavy money's in the diesels. Don't rush into buying one - there's plenty to chose from but as you've seen it might mean travelling a little further than you expected.

I have spent the last week trawling through Autotrader and Ebay and there are quite a few nice ones in your price bracket, like you say the travelling to view is a pain if when you get there its a pile of manure.

thanks for that tip, it could come in very handy, like you said could save the leg work especially if its a pile of ....!!

Good luck with the search, a ZT is definitely better than a Fiesta

I quite like this for a 1.8 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1500?logcode=p

But then it's been used to tow a boat which may put some people off

There's quite a few for sale at the moment.
Another example from autotrader

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1500?logcode=p

Very low mileage and had the HG done

Not as well specced as the red one, but then mine is bottom spec so can't complain

Stobby,

Have to agree, some lovely ZT diesels in your price bracket.

stobby · 18th January 2011, 22:34

yeah its not a bad car that looking at it, it's just ran in at that mileage,
i think tezzer should get it before it goes and it does ONO so might get it cheaper,
