help me pick a new car

Alfagtamini

hi all.
im thinking of changing my car again. i currently have a 04 mg zs mk2 with 180 kit. i really love the car but the longest ive had a car for is 6 months :Di like to chop and change.

before that i had a 05 leon tdi, 03 interior facelift 156 jtd, 01 focus tddi plenty more drissle and when i started driving i had 3 classic minis.

i have around 2k incl the zs to spend. the only clauses are it can be over 120hp as the other half is on a permit and quinn d wont insure any higher. like saloons and i like rare cars that are different.


looking forward to your comments

Was going to suggest something similar

That Toledo was advertised in a different garage a few weeks back with better pictures, car looked as new in the old pics.

hi all
thanks for the suggestion of the toledo. the main reason i sold the leon i had was because it was so boring. the biggest mistake i ever made was selling the alfa 156 jtd. had the facelift interior. recaro electric seats, cruise control, bose sound system. hi loop spoiler. im half tempted to go back to a 156. put a grin on my face every time i drove it.

thanks baz thats a fantastic looking one. might drop the seller a call. how much do you reckon mines worth. it a 04 mg zs saloon 1.4 105 with the factory 180 kit. 26k miles years nct and tax mint condition.

colm_mcm

MG is worth 2k I'd say. presuming it's a good colour like bright blue or silver.

Is that one of the last-of-the line ones with the weird half leather tartan type seats

Alfagtamini

hi colm its the mk2 zs. has the face lift exterior and interior. colour is perlecant black.

same as this one but has saloon boot and no spoiler.
