depends on if it was taken care of or not. if it was taken care of, then definitely get it, of course if it is the right price. also, see if the 60k maintenence was done on it.

I would say deffinately... One thing about the Zed32's:
The day you get it, order the Re-Enforced Racing Fiber timing belt. Last twice as long, and will not snap.
Most Zeds that meet their demise is due to a broken timing belt... Or neglegent driving.
But thats my advice... Be VERY careful with that Zed, high mile Zeds are not for beating on. Trust me there!

125k on an NA is not a problem at all. The VG was designed to be a turbo motor and has been beefed accross the board to allow for that. So really the NA version is built to overkill. I've yet to hear of someone damaging a NA VG without being really stupid. And yeah, timing belts are important, but thats mostly an issue with the TT and people running upwards of double stock boost.
