    Out of interest, if someone was a MGOC member, and wanted to join in advance to a purchase, wouldnt they be welcome to join? why must going green only be permitted after buying a car? because the reverse, when someone sells, are of course welcome to remain active members?

    just thinking aloud.......especially when said prospective member is already a ZT owner

    I suspect (although I don't really know) that it would open the forum to virtually all the people on the 75/ZT site who are also members of the MGOC (vast majority?)and I think we can all guess where that will lead us.

    The forum is for owners and ex-owners. There is a public section for those aspiring. In my opinion, this is ideal.

    When you become an owner, it won't be an issue for you. (Which is kind of the point ). And don't worry, everyone here will bend over backwards to help you before you make a purchase.

    Why do you say that?

    You can sell any car, at any time of the year, if you price it right!

    Yes but with respect, the prices you think a 260 is worth based on the numerous replies I see on other forums from you is different than most of us 260 owners think.

    However you have your view and others have theirs. Makes for an interesting debate of course

    I for one however will not be giving my car away and especially not to a trader who can then make a hefty profit or grab a bargain for himself.



    When I bought mine I bought on mileage and condition as I really wanted a 260 and found the right one. The price was irrelevant to me to a certain degree.

    If you want a 260 specifically then as a buyer you will find the one that suits you.

    What do you think my car is worth Mr Doodles as Id be very interested to know?

    I don't think there's any single right price for a car- it depends on what the buyer or seller is looking for.

    What I think you're looking for is a buyer who is very much like you were when you were buying-ie looking for exactly the right car for him/her and doesn't have too much of a budget to worry about.

    What Mr Doodles might be looking for is a good car which is very competitively priced and may need to fit into a certain budget.

    I think some buyers will pay a bit more than"the going rate"if they can find exactly what they want,just as some sellers may accept less than"the going rate" if they are desperate to sell or don't know what fair value is for the car.
