260 wanted

[worthp]

Thought I would introduce myself to everyone. I currently own an 05 plate zt cdti in which I've covered 60,000 miles in the past 4 years. I now find myself in a position where I am covering less than 4,000 miles per annum so have decided to take the plunge and upgrade to a 260.
I've been browsing this site for a while now so fully appreciate how difficult it may be to find the right car. Ideally I am after a low mileage model, preferably monogram. Would prefer SE but may consider non SE. I am in no rush so if any owners out there are not thinking of selling at present, but may be in the future then please try to remember this post.
I am in a position to make a cash only transaction, but would also be willing to part exchange my cdti which is the top spec version.
One last question: I think I'm right in saying that the non SE model does not have the rear parking sensors ( an absolute must for me). Is it still possible to get the MG standard parking sensors fitted to a model that does not have them?
Thanks in advance for any help/ advice that can be given.

Peter.

Hi Peter (Essling),

No I am not that Peter. I'm another Peter (Worth). Too many bl***y Peter's for my liking!

I have a friend who is interested in a ZT CDTi - any more details?

SteveTD,

Thanks for your interest. I am not actively trying to sell my car as yet, as I wish to keep it until I have found a 260.

The car was registered and first sold by SMC around May 05. I then bought the car off SMC Slough in December 05 with 4,000 miles on the clock. It now has 64,000 miles on the clock. It is the 135+, silver in colour, has the Driver's Intelligence Pack, cruise control, front and rear electric windows, TrafficMaster etc etc. When I bought it SMC told me that it had been chipped up to a 160 something. Apparently they are usually chipped up to a 150, but mine had been chipped to the next level (can't remember the figure exactly). I still have the original chip to return the car to a 135 but have never felt the need to do so. Usual Service History.

Peter.

My silver zt 260 se is for sale has all the toys. plus improvements, fine it in the forsale section

Hi Peter,

Yes I have been watching with interest since you announced that your's was for sale, and had it been a monogram I would have been in touch with you long ago. I find myself in the strange position of really liking the silver, yet wanting something different for a change.....mine is also silver!

I guess what I am really after is something like Willow's old car in monogram, or as close as I can get. I should have come on here six month's ago and maybe I would have pipped Rob to it.

I appreciate that most people may be thinking "That guy's got no chance of finding something like that", but I am prepared to wait. If I don't find what I'm after, well, "nothing ventured, nothing gained".

I believe that is #189 and would indeed be Typhoon in colour
