    Default Hi to all 260s members

    Hi all,

    I'm new to the forum and looking to buy a 260. I have my eye on one that I may be able to get for a very good deal that would normally seem too good to be true, except I know and trust the source.

    2003 Mk1 ZT260 (NON SE) with 30k on clock, long tax and test, underbody has been waxoiled and the rear bushes have already been upgraded. It's in Pearlescent Blue (possibly flip to purple but still waiting to see it in the flesh to verify) all for only £1600. I know this seems impossibly cheap, especially as there are (apparently) no problems but I know there's a genuine reason for sale.

    Could anyone tell me what I need to look for when I go to view the car just to set my mind at ease that it won't be a white elephant?

    Also, if anyone knows someone after a R75 Connoisseur SE CDTi Auto with low miles I'm selling to fund the purchase of my 260 that would be a great help

    Cheers

    Tom

    I paid that for my 20" wheels alone, something can't be right!
    Welcome to the club, hope you get it for that.

    still seems a little odd, even for the lowest price that the 260 is going for currently thats 4-5k out of pocket.

    still worth the money even if there is something wrong with it, as you'll be able to find the part or repair it and still be quids in
