Looking for a manual box roadster 3.0....No cream leather thanks

I'd prefer central Scotland based but will travel for the right car.
No rust, no heavy scratching and no rubbish please.

£6000 max for the right car but would prefer less.

Thanks

there all pretty good don't just limit yourself to 3.0 I did that on my first one, Had 3.0i 231 bhp, 2.2 170bhp, 2.5si 218bhp and now just got a 2.5i 190bhp. I prefer the M54 engine over the later facelift N52 engine. You will find more 2.5i for sale

Thanks for the advice bud...I did'nt want to go as low as 177bhp and must be 6 pots

I think you'd be hard pushed to find a good 3.0 Si for that budget

The Si would be a 2.5....other 3.0 apart from Si would do

yeah..6k will see you in a very nice pre facelift 3.0 and tbh at that budget Id be looking for a well specced low miler or as you say a slightly leggier 2.tsi...good luck with your search

Would you be interested in my 3.0se SMG gearbox

Never driven one bud

I'd say come and have a go but it's a bit far To leicester for you.

The SMG gearbox is essentially manual with no clutch.

I'm sure the knowledgable folks on here can tell you in more detail the nuances of it.

Pm me the details of the car

Still looking!

I agree....though the 2.5 is now looking like a no go.

I've not found anything as yet and I'm thinking of upping my budget and looking for a facelift. It worries me about all the sticky steering problems folk are having with the early models. I'm thinking £7500 should get me sorted. Thanks for the heads up though

I think you need to look further into what you're meaning. Do you mean sticky steering which seems to affect facelift, 06 onwards cars, perhaps early cars as well, I'm not 100% sure, giving a jerky, sticky feeling, usually when there is heat involved to the steering column area, or early cars that sometimes have their torque sensor fail resulting in total loss or intermittent loss of the power steering with 2K for a new column or you'd have to find a second hand unit. Either way with the electric steering assistance Zeds there is a capacity for problems which ever year you buy. I've had both happen to an '06 3.0si which had sticky steering, and an '04 3.0se project car that I bought with known intermittent power steering loss.
