Any Knowledge of this 260

[NickZT]

Any one know this car guys?

Does look very nice with low mileage, I dont like the wheels painted black, but have priced new Apex alloys up at £184 each

No problem with the wheels, they can be re-furbished about £60 each.

It say X-Power on the boot lid and under the "V8" on the wings. :-))

It's number 610 if we've had anyone with it before?

The only record we have:
610 23/06/2004 ZT .....Black

Thanks guys. No bad news so far

Number 610 is good news. Quite late build.

If I buy this one I will simply buy a new set of Apex alloys. Will simply sell the old ones on, or get re-painted at a later date to keep as spares

Wonder if any one on here has viewed it, to give an idea of condition?

Why not just get the wheels re-furbed? If you're feeling that flush that you want to buy new wheels, you can always give the black ones to someone here! As ColinE keeps saying, "I said GIVE" :o

Keep them, black? and put winter tires on them.

No. Dont like the black wheels on a black car. Not flushed enough to give them away, but the car is so cheap I dont mind spending another £750 on brand new wheels. Would probably re coupe £400 back for the old wheels.

Just seen another thread a member on here is also interested in buying this car, so probably missed out on a bargain!

No. Dont like the black wheels on a black car. !

Just add a bit of snow and a couple of green stripes. :-))

I'm hopefully going up to view the car this weekend, if I don't drive it back myself I'll certainly post about what further I've found out about it.

OK. Let me know if you dont buy it. I'm away this weekend. May get a chance to go up and view it next week. Does look nice in the pictures

Check the rear springs, on a ramp if possible
I drove my car around for 3 months without realising both were broken

On such a late VIN it shouldn't be a problem.

Shall do mate.

Urgh, let down by the seller again regarding a viewing, been back and forth with the guy for best part of a month now.
Initially it was in for a service but his mechanic had the flu, 2 weeks later that's done and then its misfiring. Seller's had the car back now (as far as I can gather), after having a specialist check the engine, and he would let me know when it was OK for me to look at the car. Well that was Wednesday and I've heard nothing back off him.

How'd you find it mate? I was talking to the dealer for best part of a month and he did little but mess me about.
