It's getting to that point Zeds are money pits, but once you have replaced everything they are good for another 20 years
"Zeds are money pits, but once you have replaced everything they are good for another 20 years" I spent 20k+ replacing everything and if I get another 20 years, that's a grand a year! Good value the zed. $20 a week is pretty cheap motering if you ask me.
Ahmen Brother Yeah replacing everything is my goal/plan, im taking the long term approach, I have slowly acquired a stock pile of bits and piece over years from all the GB's and people who sell their BNIB aftermarket bits after they sell their zed, lose their job, lose interest etc etc. i have more money in unused BNIB after market bits than my zed is worth. Everytime I get paid I try and spend a little bit getting the next part for the pile, last week it was a lightened flywheel, next on the list is a FPR.
I don't want to offend anyone, I'm only making the point that based on age & average wear, 'most' of the cheap Z's need a fair bit of 'fixing-up' & therefore the low price simply reflects the car's age & condition. I'm not defending the value of any other car either, simply ofering an example of how the Z's have actually 'held' their value when compared to others.
