price of zs

Any one else viewed the 3.0zed for sale on fleabay? Looks good and surely cheap for a 3.0 zed,or does someone know its history,only the mileage against it.Seller seems to have 100% record.

Not quite sure about the bulb but with the cluster out you can hold it up to the light after removing the bulbs,this will show you which one needs replacing.Hope this helps!
