    They are trying to say that they can only put a 1 year SMC warranty on it followed by a 2 year insurance backed warranty. I have refused this so will continue to wait.

    I thought that was standard, although I have no experience of SMC, really.
    A 2 year insurance company warranty would cost up to £4-500. I had no problem with mine and had the diff replaced.

    Default Test drive

    I also viewed this car last September/October, makes me smile that they still have got it advertised at the same price for over 6 months!

    I decided at the time not to go for it, seemed to pull a little on the test drive and there was a little bit of steering wheel shake. Also I'm pretty sure it looked like the car had some paintwork on the o/s rear quarter.

    I thought I'd mention these points in-case you missed them and weren't hipnotised by that lovely V8 burble!

    Still looking for the right ZT-T for myself, even after Mr Tax man wants to roger as all from next year with his doubleing of road tax.

    Good luck if you do manage to get this car for the right money.

    Must admit I did not notice any problems with the steering. Also didn't notice any paint repairs although it was raining when I viewed the car.

    Did you have to make any claims and did they pay up without too much hassle?

    Well, I've bought it. Finally did a deal today and paid a deposit. Will collect when all the bits and pieces have been sorted.
