Sup guys, so far from what I have read this is the best / nicest / most helpful forum i have read.

Names Tony, been following you guys for about 6 months now, reason being, Graduated, got a full time job and looking for a 2 door, rear wheel drive, rare car.

Nd only cars that I thought of were a ZHP, BOS 302, M3 CLS , 335is.

The 302 and 335is a bit to much, and my bro has a cls, so I figured my best bet was the zhp, and hook it up to beat the stock cls.

Found two ZHP im looking at. Let me know what you guys think.

This one is a 06, 48k, asking $23k. I think it should be around 20?

This one has a re built motor with a few miles on it only. but the chassis has around 83k. Says it was stored for 7 months out of the year. So that means it was driven a lot during the few months when it was driver. I dunno kinda seems sketchy.

So input is appreciated, hopefully before the nd of the year ill land a nice ZHP, if not....

First car: yes, I agree with you. Better priced at $20K.

Second car: always difficult to value fully modified cars like that. Me? I'd rather do it myself.

That said, contact Viral at Active Autowerke. He will likely know the car. Viral is a member at ZHPMafia.com (he owns a ZHP). Here is his profile. Hit him up on email or PM: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/member.php?469-AAZHP

Welcome to the forum.

PPI = Pre-Purchase Inspection


pretty much a necessity when buying a used car (especially a German one ;))

The PPI will most likely be on my right? I will have to get it to someone who can do that right?

TheHyeOne,

I have been looking in the Philly area also. Did you see this one from Craigslist? http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2549639111.html
I looked at the car and it is nice. I think you could get him down to around $18,500-$19,000.

Skinney,

The price looks high at 24 with the current mileage it has.
If he does drop it to 18 that would be good, however its over the mileage i am looking for.
I am looking for around 45k.

Thank you though, there is another car around 50k that I looking at, but I wanna sell my parents Jeep before I get another car.
So I am in limbo right now.
