Chop etc? What they like as a runabout? Any probs to look for?

Guy in work is selling a S Plate VTR hes had it from 9k mines yr old and now on 80kish with FSH etc. How much would you value it at?


Thinking of getting it for when the Civic sells to tide me over until i find a nice derv But of course i dont want to lose any money on it. Its got tax and MOT until may/June next year too

 

hope not....now fuck off.................

 

fpmsl.... gotta be alright for winter runabout. what are VTR like, alright for bit of fun? Chop?

 

nice little mota, good enough for a runner,but please stay away from HALFORDS............

 

If your feet are any bigger than a size 9 good luck breaking without revving the tits out of it

 

not a lot, only thinking as its come up cheap enough... ideally wanted old derv to tied me over. but it seems like hald about little car.


Put a price on it on above discribtion and tell me how much its worth.

 

£700-800

 

cool will bare it in mind. DOesnt need anything, just a good clean Got tax and MOT till May Hmmmm will see what comes of it. Sound little motor with good tres etc.. Just been used as shoping car for its life

 

if the bodywork is ok on it id say just over a grand longish t&t aswell not too bad little motors

 

I want a saxo VTR as my next car, i got a 306 d turbo atm tho. What do they go like? Slow or nippy or what? Was thinking of putting a VTS engine straight in though if it's an easy swap?

 

Chop has my borthers old VTS and my bro now has a 1.1 for going back and forward to uni.

IMO they are good wee cars that not alot going wrong.

The car in question is worth more than 800 quid...possibly 1200

 

You TIGHT CUNT

 

Erm because this one is avaible and cheap ish not like im going out of my way to look for a Saxo

Hmmmm might look further into it then if worth near 1k. THe car is quite straight few little dings, nothing major. Plastic a bit faded but can soon sort that out. other than that looks in good condition, as said been used as shopping car and just been poddled about. If i would get it i would bufty it for a laugh just to see what it would come out like. Hmmm sounding tempting now though more thinking of it.

 

Nath


Nath no just sensible thinking

Wanna buyy a Type R?

 

No thanks, just in case I lose too much money

Want to buy an 03 5 Alpina?

 

Sorry Matt missed that

Nah Nath it not a Dirty Derv!! if 530d sport maybe

 

£700 to £800.

As said above beware of back axles going.

 

GF has one - does crazy high mpg but think its her driving. Enjoyed it round mull etc giving it abuse - not fast in any sense but fun enough. Coils go on them too and are pricey so see if its been done recent although i dont know how long they are supposed to last.

Oh and every 17 year old in a 1000mile radius will want to race you no matter what they are in!!!! lol

 

Had a few as runners good wee cars, as said above back axels and coils are main things to lok out for also leaking sunroof seals are common. I would say its worth around 1k.

 

exhaust where the rear clamps can rust also, but a repair pipe is made for about 15 quid or so,,,,, aint sure about the other issues but i sell about 25 a week due to the rust issue,,, hence we make the repair pipe

oh the brake and accelorator are both in the middle and a space where the accelerator should be is left empty,,,, fuck knows why

BUT it shares the same pedal position of a lambo almost

 

Ive had a couple, decent run arounds. Very good on petrol if they've been looked after right too and respectably nippy.

I paid £850 for one on a P reg, FSH, 86k about 18 months ago which was a good deal. Tax, no mot.

Id say its worth around the £1000 mark. Any under is doing ok imo.

 

With 80K where has it been shopping!!

Had no idea they were worth so little, not really that surprising though

 

if it has stains on the rear door cards then the window seals leak, i know of a few that done this, and god forbid, i even took one for a test drive a few years ago and them windows leaked too

all round, not a bad little car, but get the windows tinted as everyone will call you a chav cunt

 

here i am!

I must admit i quite like my maxo

cracking everyday hack, decent enough mpg and cheap to insure(not if you're 18 on a vts tho lol)

I reckon the vtr could be had for £800. There seem to be plenty about.

then again you could always pay a little more and have my vts

 

Will see what happens. Will see him tomorrow. And chuck an offer in, though might hurt a bit I would like it as a typical car that hasnt been washed/waxed etc. and i would love to give it a good clean to see what it can come up like. How sad is that

 

most awfull car ever, one can not put into words how dreadfull they are theres only one way to sum them up


FRENCH


the spark plugs are under the rocker cover i mean c'mon did we forget to turn our brains on that day

 

Great run arounds, great mpg, and fun little handlers that can keep faster cars at bay round the b's.
