    Default This Might Be The One

    I've been waiting a l-o-n-g time for an LPG XPG ZT-T - just found this on P/H

    http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3454312.htm

    Anyone know anything about it? Seems too good to be true.

    My heart is pounding like I'm about to go on my first date!

    I'd move quickly on this. Although a very basic spec it seems a very good price to me

    Thanks chaps - my ONLY reservation is the mileage, as I wanted something around 30k - engine should be ok, but trim wears the same on any car - still, best go and give her a spin, eh?

    I would not worry about the mileage. I think the nature of someone fitting a LPG system is that they will be using more than a Petrol version so if you average it out it is not much per annum.

    The Engine in our car is great, if you look at it's longeverty of the car it was designed for in America you will see that properly serviced like this car appears to be it will run for many many miles will little issues.

    I lot of the the small issues we have are manly to do with a car that was redesigned to fit the engine rather than the engine itself. The figure quoted for the LPG system seems right and so you are getting a vehicle with the work done for little money. Any changes as you know, you can make relatively easy so you can reto-fit over the next few years to make it an SE version

    Agreed.
    Description is a little inaccurate though, as wheels are not Apexes, seats are not alcantara and headlights are not Xenon!
    Nonetheless, get there quick!!

    I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.

    I have the BRC system on mine, fitted at 7000 miles and now at 115,000. if anything the engine gets better with age, Brian once told me that the engine will take about 85,000 miles to run in and he may be correct, when I was in the 90's it seemed to be noticeably smoother than before, and ever in the last couple of days with an additional 20,000 miles on it stills seems to be getting smoother.

    seems a lot of car for not a lot of money, despite the inaccurate description

    Would it fall into the higher car tax band still, despite being LPG?

    Oh!
    Where would you suggest putting it, on the roof.
    Yes it seems a very fair price with the seller doing 54000 miles in it.
    Ask him how this was made up, if it was a lot of longish motorway travel then you should have no worries
    I bought an LPG 260 , a saloon, earlier this year for a similar price with 49000 miles on the clock. Had to spend a bit on it, tyres, rear springs, changed rear exhaust boxes back to standard and a few other bits and pieces
    IMHO if an LPG estate is what you want go for it, don't prat around put your money on the table TODAY
    And no the seller is not my brother-in-law, uncle, cousin etc.
    Good luck
    Dave
