Hi

 

I think you're doing the right thing so far. You should be able to get a decent average mileage early 2003 UK model for £9k to 9.5k. Getting one for under that will be a bit difficult as they still demand quite a high price especially UK models. You may be able to find an import for under £9k but it will still be an older model but you will not get one from a main dealer - maybe an independent dealer but more likely an import specialist. Downside with an import is it will have no recorded history which is a bit of a risk with a car like this as a full service history is a must. I got my late 2005/55 UK model from a main dealer for 12k, along with 2yrs mfr warranty thrown in... so you should be able to get a 2002/2003 UK model for £3k less but it will be a very early model. Keep searching but be very prepared to travel. I live in the south and had to travel all the way to Manchester to get the one I was looking for. Took me a few months to finally get one. As said above it may not be a good car if less than £9k. If it were me I'd aim for a car advertised at £10k and then knock them down a bit. That will open up your field a bit as there are quite a few advertised for the £10k mark. Black and azure blue (the best colour by the way :teeth: ) are a bit harder to come by and may be a bit more.

 

Good luck.

TBH if you get a Zed for 9K or less, its probably not going to be a good one!

Expect to pay 10.5K upwards for anything half decent.

Dont forget the running costs are that of a 30K car & not a 9k car ;) i reckon we will see a few for sale from people who bought them because they were 'cheap' & not realise the running costs

I got the impression they were quite reasonable to run? Apart from obvious tyres, petrol, brakes and insurance what else is costly?

 

I'm also looking for a Zed and doesn't seem to be much choice.

Reasonable for a 30k car yes, not compared to a 9k car ;)
