jaffers Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So I took a test drive as I was advised by a member here on another tread. Went to a dealer not too far away. Well I don't know how any sane individual expects you to pay the FULL asking price of £6000 (which is still a lot of money for anybody) after only driving for about a quarter of a mile, barely getting out 3rd gear, with the ABS kicking when braking GENTLY at about 10mph and having 8, yes 8 previous owners!!! I hate rude, cocky salesmen! Needless to say i walked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 keep walking and find a better example... there are loads out there and plenty of good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMAN Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 You did the best thing mate .................walking away. Like SteveM said, there are are plenty out there with a lot less owners (8... bloody hell) I got caught out buying a car many years ago and had the same tiny test drive, bought the car because i fell in luv with it (that screwed up my judgment) and had nothing but problems with it (head gasket being one of them) Garage i bought it from didnt want to know NEVER AGAIN LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Not saying it was a good car but if it was say a 2004 then 8 owners in 9 years isn't that incredible is it, a lot of people come and go on here and have to sell as it isn 't the most practical or cheapest to run of cars Def more of a risk wondering if all 8 have cherished it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi keep looking, you'll find a good one. I looked at loads until i found my Zed, eventualy found a one owner car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 There is a Zed out there with your name on it.. Dealers are the worse route to owning a Zed...and the most expensive..! Buy one from a member on here..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo88 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I had a good 20 mile drive when I test drove my zed and got to take it on the A1. Salesman left me and my father with the car and got on with it. You'll come across the right one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaffers Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thats for the comments everyone. Iv'e found a few that have been snapped up before i could get there. Last weekend I found one that had 1 owner from new and only 42k miles. But again someone got there before me. I'll keep waiting......
