Totally out of the blue! Got a call from Jamsport saying someone had been ringing them for my number as they knew I went there from seeing my car in Total Vauxhall.
Basically offered me a silly price for it and is buying it next Saturday pending viewing it

 

niiiice

 

What next then?

 

99% certain it will be an Audi S2 Avant

 

poof! dont get one dude unless you stick some massive porsche turbo rims on it otherwise, resort back to the first word used in this post

 

All in good time
Porsche big red brakes first!

 

thats an easy sale then.

he must like it a lot.

 

 

not so good on advertising it as a silly price as they may read this forum!

 

Hes' not even on the net
Asked if it still looked the same as in the mag 2 years ago, I said I have some brand new pics online, but that was no use to him!

 

Cant complain at that mate.

 

Nice 1

Just warn him about the 5 inch tailpipe if it wasn't on it when mag featured,that fooker could make or break the sale!!!!!

 

It was on, so stick that in yer tailpipe

 

CANT WAIT!!!!
(Not that I have the skills for such things...)

carl

 

Thats a lot of money for a shonky old Cav

Fair play to ya

Steve.

 

Hi Martyn, this is not a dig at you or anything but why are you a posting whore on a ford related site driving a V@@**hall!!! Confused - or are you registered on Total Vaux as a cossie driver?

 

Are the Audi A2's just as pony as the audi A3's ??

 

He used to have a silver saff from memory?

And well done on the sale mate

 

Yes, as above, I used to have a Cosworth, and have had loads of Fords in the past.
Post whore? Do I really post alot on here then?!
Look how long I have been registered and how many posts I have made
If you plan to ask this question to everyone here that doesnt drive a Ford, you have taken on quite a task!

I see you havent been on here long, may I suggest you remove the blinkers before continueing, as most people on here understand there are good cars other than just Ford

 

nice one martyn, was a nice cav

whats the deal with these A2's then? never heard of them, just looks like an A4 estate in that drift vid

what engines they got?

 

Relax Martyn I don't think he was being funny or anything just inquizitive.


thats a hell of a lot of money aint it? Or is that what they go for?

Stick some photos up

 

That video is actually an old S6, but does look very similiar to an S2 from a distance.
Anyway, standard S2 spec is:

230bhp
4x4
6 speed box
2.2 5cyl 20v
0-60:6.1
150mph

£400 remap gets you 280bhp, or you could spend around £1500 to get it to RS2 spec and have a reliable 450bhp
Porsche brakes fit straight on

This is the look I am aiming for

 

 

A VERY good Cav Turbo will get you 4k on a very good day
Mine WAS a very good one, one of the top 10 in the country pretty much.
The key to getting the big money was two things, 1)it wasnt for sale, and 2)he knew he would have to make a big offer for me to sell it as he wanted it bigtime!

These are the latest pics as it was when I sold it

 

they sound quality

that blue n looks well nice

 

Nice one Martyn.

I had a random call like that about 2 years ago. Someone offered me £12,000. At first you take it with a pinch of salt, but when they call every day for a fortnight to see if you have made your mind up, you start to take it seriously.

Shame that at that time I couldn't have sold it.

 

Why couldnt you sell it?
I thought that at first as it would leave me without a car for work which I rely on, but after afew phone calls I am sorted for lifts till I get a replacement

 

It wasn't running that well at the time and I have too much of a conscience to let it go for that sort of money without it running as it should.

It's funny to think of that as such an absurd amount of money, but when you think how much it would cost to do it again or for someone else to do it, I guess I can see why he would have paid that much. He had seen it in the mags and called off the back of that.

 

Mine had things that needed sorting out.
I simply explained to him that he will have to buy it with them still not done as he has asked me to sell out of the blue when it was not for sale.
Obviously if I was advertising it they would of been done first

 

well done m8 wiv the sale r u missin it yet? remember lookin at it at total vauxhall show wiv me m8,if we wud of stayed lookin at it any longer there wud have been drool all over it was a clean example

 

When we drove off I saw it in the mirrors a couple of times, and as gay as it is, I did have a bit of a lump in my throat!
It made it was as I wasnt selling it due to a lack of love or interest.
But, I was planning on selling it when we moved, and would never of got such a good price, so it had to go!
As soon as I get a replacement all doubt about selling it will be gone straight away

It was abit wank having to let a Mondeo past on the way home from work last night, he would of normally been left for dust (I was driving the missus SRI)

 

Thats a cunt, it means I cant borrow it for using as a basis for writing technical articles about engine tuning anymore


Seriously though, nice one mate, its a good example of the marque so I can see why someone after one would pay over the odds for yours rather than hunt through all the shit out there to try and save a bit of cash.

 

PS

With 340lbft, I bet he is going to be surprised how well it pulls!

 

you mean someone actually paid £5500 for a 12 year old cavalier, that was made by vauxhall

we need more stevie wonders in this world

did it overheat on his way home???
