Wanted - R75 V8 / ZT 260

[Herman]

Looking at the specs I'd say it's an SE. It seems to have a TV tuner upgrade as well as they advertise digital tv (that's a > Euro 1500 change). It seem to have all the other options as well.

Not a bad price either

I thought it seemed cheap as well for a European price!

Hello,

I am so sorry to say that I wasn't able to contact the dealer today. I'll try it again tomorrow. I hope that we have a chance to get more information about that car soon.

Does someone know a German that lives near Leipzig?

I don`t like estate cars, not only Rover`s but any cars. Saloon/Sedan are my fav . This MG that I`ve found on mobile it`s exactly the car I`m looking for. The full option model(TV,elec seats, etc), facelift, not so used.... everything looks ok

Here is my protocol that I wrote done during the call:

unfallfrei
erstbesitzer rover deutschland, dann ab 2005 zimmermann selbst
2009 ausser betrieb
1 rücksitz hat abdruck von reifen
serviceheft gepflegt
differential hinten erneuert
heckrollo

VIN #747 - 11/2004

Gebrauchtwagengarantie möglich (Aufpreis)
keine ungewöhnlichen Laufgeräusche

And here my enriched translation of it:

did not have had any accident/bump
the first owner of the car was Rover Deutschland, then it was transferred the owner of Zimmermann Automobile. He then drove the car.
The car is standing idle since 2009.
One seat on the rear has a mark of a tyre tread (it is on the leather not on the alcantara)
Inspections were made regularly (in 8000km steps I suppose)
The rear differential made some whining some time ago and therefore was replaced or remanufactured in the past. Now the differential is quiet.
The 5th switch in the bottom row of switches enabled the rear curtain

The VIN of the car is #747 and was first registered in 11/2004.

It is possible to get a second-hand car guaranty. But this would be an extra charge. Normally the car is selled with a defects liability only (I think 12 months or so).
The car does not make any abnormal noises.

From my point of view the car seems worth visiting.
The car dealer will do some more pictures of the car and send them to me via E-Mail. I can send them to you if you give me your address.

BTW. the person on the other side of the phone was qualified and friendly. He answered all questions without any problem. Zimmermann Automobile was a MG/ROVER partner until some time ago. Therefore they know the 75/ZT platform good enough and also that special car very well.

I hope this helps you

Bernhard

thanks a lot, this really helps me , my email adress is devyl_alex@yahoo.com . I`ll wait for the new pics, now I need to go here in Romania and check how much does cost to register the car here , and could somebody tell me where can I find that power kit for the engine?

One seat on the rear has a mark of a tyre tread

I don`t understand exactlly what are u trying to tell, the ledder has a small scratch? And by the 5th switch from the bottom buttons, you mean the one in the midle that is from that "protection" in front of the rear windshield?

[b.gruen]

I've just sent you a mail that contains the first pictures. There you can see the tread on the backseat.

The 5th button seems to be that protection thingy.

[colintf]

sounds good so far!

to register the car in Romania will cost me almost 7000 euro and that`s half of the car`s price , and I don`t think is worth it ( in Romania taxes for the cars are very high, especially to register one from other country, and depends on the size of the engine, and for an 4600 cmc engine is around 7000 euro ). The anual taxes are almost 1200 euro , I can live with this... after my calculations, the gas should cost me somewhere around 300 euro per month, calculating at 60-70 km every day. Everything is ok except the registering taxes. What can I do?

[b.gruen]

Hello,

do you know why it is THAT expensive to register a car in your country? I know from my mind that I had to pay about 200 EUR to register my ROVER 200 Turbo Coupé from Luxemburg in Germany. I think there must be something wrong. Does it matter if you buy the car from a dealer or from a private owner?

Also the taxes are expensive. I have to pay a tax of 317 EUR per year plus about 2000 EUR insurance (at 100%).
