anyone

 

think they took a tumble mate,we sold our sri on the same year and less miles for 5k last year.

i spoke to a lad that bought one for £1500 the other day

 

2 Grand at auction!

Sorry, fook all wrong with the motor! (apart from the griffin badge!)

Big depreciation!!



(will amplify that statement on thursday, one is up!!!)

I'd keep it! It will last for ever but is worthless, compared to the purchase price, i bet!!

 

what money you after???

 

Just go on ebay. Prices are low.
We lost loads on our SRI very quickly.

 

Don't like giving bad news but vectra's ( especially that year) are no goer's!!

You need to go private and get someone in love with the car cause it is worth more than the book price!!!!

If you can bullshit somebody!

And you are not ripping them off cause i fookin hate that!!!

You need a monkey like me that will pay the price i think its worth!!!!

It might be lower... but it has been more than the geezer actually wanted as well (hasn't it nige - 4x4 saff ring a bell), which if you find the right one you'll pay over the "book price".

The bad news is there isn't many people want a "w" vectra in any spec, especially gas guzzling 2.5 litre ones!

Hope i'm wrong, will give update on this thursdays auction!!!

PS;
model changes do you over big time!!
if the focus cossie is released watch the focus RS boys start sweating!
saw one for £24000 yesterday, and he'll get close to that!!!
(700 miles)
Introduction of a focus cossie would suck a good £5000 a year for the first couple at least off of those (sorry nowt wrong with the focus RS).

 

sorry guys, i meant im looking at it tomoz for a mate

that was the ad, its up for £2999 cos hes just been banned from driving yesterday

i reckon we could get it for £2700

book price is £3700

 

He wants three, not banned he'll get £2700 max, tell him that as well!

Take it at £2300!!!!

NO MORE!!!!!

 

He needs the money to pay the fine!

 

2000 trade 3500 retail approx

 

i doubt he will drop to £2300 mate, it does look in good condition from what i saw this morning, ill look at it properly at lunchtime.

cheers for the advice tho

 

you will be suprised what a a little knowledge and a fist full of readies can get ya

 

hmmm true i guess, just depends how desperate he is i suppose.

 

Any luck?!!!

 

had a look at lunch, there are a few scratches on it, nothing major tho.

good tyres all round, needs a hoover, and a clean, he said he sometimes gets a thing on the trip computer saying about the brake pads, they look like they have a fair left tho, discs have bit of a lip. also, there is not much history, and he has not had it serviced in the 14 months he has owned it. he is the 4th owner also.

engine looks quite clean, zorst looks ok too. interior seems ok aswell

he needs to sell car for a deposit on a house as he got banned from driving monday (DD the cock)

hes not sure when the cam belt was changed, he will let me know tomoz.

i rang the vauxhall garage, they said full service is £145 all in, cam belt change is £310 all in, front brake discs/pads £155 all in

is it hard to DIY the cam belt, anyhing specail needed??? as if my mate buys it he wont want to pay £300, and i can do a service on it too.

my mate is gonna look at it tomoz, so if he brings cash ill tell him to offer him your £2300 lol

cheers for the help mate.

 

WAS UP FOR £2999


WE KNOCKED HIM DOWN TO........











£2300!!!!!!!



FOOKIN BARGAIN, LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY IMO!



CHEERS c0ss1e9i6

 

i take it u hpi'd it dude

 

nice one, sounds like you bagged a bargain

 

Have you not looked under the bonnet???

 

Vauxhall or not that's a bargain by any standards

 

apples, didnt get it HPI'd but it was bought from carcrafet by pervious owner, they done a 120 point check, but it seems legit.

steve, yes i have now looked under the bonnet - fook that!!

guy said it had its cam belt done when he bought it (he thinks) but my mate is till gonna get it done just incase.

needs a service, i can do that, and its needs new front brakes soon, not straight away tho.

book price for it was about £4k too, so all in i think we blagged a goodun lol

 

Just don't pull the spark plug leads off - you only get like 1 or 2 goes, then it will start to missfire. New leads time

Heard of a few cars like this

 

really??

i was gonna do a service, oil, all filters and plugs.

might have to go careful then lol

 

Might be better off asking on one of the vaux boards, but my brother had it, was talking to a friend of a friend, he had it as well. Took his to a garage saying he had a missfire, the first thing they said was have you taken the leads off. Then here at work a guy with a GSI was under his bonnet looking around - he had a miss and the night before had had a service, where they changed the plugs. New set of leads cured all of the above.

 

cheers mate, ill keep it in mind

you didnt hpi it!!! sounds like was bought from a dealer garage obviously, spend the money hpi it asap

 

lol, deffo pay £300 to get someone else do the cambelt, i've done the 2.5 omega and that was bad enough!!

imho thats a good price as iirc it's about £160 for the belt kit alone from the factors..

 

2300 - that is a bargain man

 

2300 - that is a bargain man

 

i dont mean to try and put a downer on things, and yes price is good well done, got it trade money


but

as you say its come originally from a majour dealer that offers 124 pt checks etc etc etc, but these same dealers also offer finance

you havent hpid it, for your own piece of mind do it m8, if it is bent and comes ontop later you may be shagged, but if now ya can go get the coont and get ya dosh back

itrs only a very slim chance but being in the trade i know just how many motors get sold on with outstanding finance

just trying to help ya bud

 

contact the carcraft it was bought from and ask about outstanding finance before you cough up for an HPi.

 

they wont tell ya

data protection act, also they only sold the car so wouldnt kno if settled anyway

 

ok m8 bit of advice just seen the carcraft website


the specialse in finance, bad credit finance etc etc

most cars are overpriced etc hence at a guess 98 percent cars go out on the strap, i know ive worked for places like that and used to strap these poor innocent public up




hpi it

 

i once sold a car to a customer who went in carcraft with 7k CASH! to buy a car she had seen, they would not sell it to her unless she took it on finance.

 

there ya go m8


HPI the car


how long did matey have the car? ie on logbook if was in his name? nice house? did he look like he could afford the car?

 

hey mate cheers for the info, i spoke to me mate earlier, he has done a HPI now, came back clean as a whistle

he is gonna pay to get the cam belt done also, i said id do it, then opened the bonnet - fook that!!

the guy is 35 and bought it from carcraft 14 months ago, and payed £6000 plus £300 for extended warrenty.

he has to sell because he has just recieved a ban for drink driving, only just over limit, if he had been 1 microgram less, he would have walked out with nothing, hes gutted, and has to sell the car for a deposit on a house, cos his missus has just kicked him out, hes not having a good time at tho mo and i feel sorry for the guy.


but me mate got a bargain and a half!

 

happy for ya m8, good to see its not allways us traders that end up with all the cheap motors

 

lol, cheers mate

we managed to talk him down cos it needs a service, cam belt, and front brakes doing so about £600 worth from a dealer, but ill prolly do the service, and he will pay to get the cambelt done

still, a LOT of car for the cash

 

got the car and Hpid it alls good, for now!!
