I apologise for this lllooonnngggg ad,but the history needs to be told. I have finally reached retirement age and the time has come to sell my beloved ZED.This car was originally privately imported by a Melbourne businessman in 2004(name a address available) His brother lives in Japan ,and he visits there four times a year. During one of these trips he spotted this car and decided to import and make some money. On the way over on the ship,the car was scraped down one side,so he decided to go the whole respray and decided on Mazda Blaze Red. It is a 1990 NA AUTO 2+2 TARGA(with Cruise Control) and on arrival in Australia had 105000k on the clock(he states genuine}He did the compliance and the 100k service(later verified by Joe at Topstar} He kept it for a short time and sold it to a young guy in Heidlberg who had it for 12 months who couldnt afford to insure it and only drove it on weekends and holidays(drove an old Commodore to work) I purchased the car in September 2006 and there was 117000 on the clock The car was completely stock standard{Joe stated was one of the most original he had seen,except for the respray) car temp sits on 82c cruising air con works well I have done the following.. fitted one piece tailshaft(Jeff Lagerway) new tyres and wheels (Bob Jane) tinted windows replaced original radio new battery replaced interior rear side panels replaced power steering computer(fixed the intermittent power steering} fitted pda with ecutalk rewired parking antenna switch to manually or auto raise/lower the radio antenna The front tensioner bearings became noisy and Joe did the following work{and comfirmed timing belt etc had been done previously,he also replaced other items while dismantled just to be sure) ************************************************** ************************* TOPCHOICE MECHANICAL REPAIRS ........at last someone who cares....... 900 Mt Dandenong Road Phone: 9728 6977 Mobile: 0419 646 216 Montrose.

Have the new heater core but due to warm weather havent had it fitted. I used it as a troublefree daily driver for 12 months,and the k,s were going up,so the last 6 months has only been used on weekends to drive to golf. Since owning it,it has never been driven over the 4k on the tacho,been polished,garaged loved,never parked in a parallel parking area for obvious reasons,and now has 142k on the clock and registered to August. Also has a spare set of Targas with covers The price I am asking for my ZED is $10000. I have three options 1 Sell it 2 Keep it (costs reg $550 and ins $450 which = $20 a week over a year) 3 leave it to my grandson in my will I prefer option 1!!
Sale Withdrawn I have withdrawn this sale from the forum.....thanks for the enquiries(all from interstate) but due to complications re sending to other states,transport costs,deregistering,permits, etc etc....I will later advertise elsewhere locally and hope for a simple look,pay,rwc,driveaway sale....Thankyou
