  An old banger!


welcome dude theres quite a few v6 owners ! sure one will be around soon
 
S

stusV6



Thanks for that guys;)

As for Mk1 or 2 ltll probably be a Mk1 based on what I have to spend.................£15500 + over £3k for insurance.

I just missed one yesterday..........a 2002 with 3,300 miles priced at £14,995.

So if anyone knows where there is one then Im your man.................not bothered about colour but must be accident free and have a full service history.

And thanks again for the welcome guys.

my pal is selling his 51 reg, mk1, 5100 miles, FSH, 100% mint. silver.

for £15k id imagine it would be hard to find a low miller.

pm if interested.
 
S

stusV6



Gee that was fast.

Yeah it sounds like exactly what Im after although I would probably stick to the £15K mark for it...................no offence intended.

There are a few low milers out there I just have to get round and view them..................I just missed a 2002 with 3300 miles for £14995 yesterday.

Yeah I know Simo.....................Ive been looking around for one locally that I could test drive but there doesnt appear to be any in Scotland.................I have only ever seen one stting in a showroom, so I havent even heard them running and I have never seen any out on the road.

So I only hope they are as good as all the write ups say they are or it will be a VERY long way to go for nothing.

From what I can gather from V6 owners on here (any maybe steve can confirm as hes had both!), Mk.1s & Mk.2s are different beasts, make sure your not reading Mk.2 write-ups with regards to a Mk.1s & vica-versa.

stu,

you can see my mates one for sale on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=2488165676&rd=1http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=2488165676&rd=1

he im moving to italy so selling his cars.

the mk2 is a totally different car, but the reviews for the mk1 make it out to be dangerous, which it isnt. i love mine, and although took some getting used to, it can be driven hard with no handling issues.

its the hooligan out of the 2 models IMO.
 
S

stusV6



Good point sn00p.................Ive been reading both but now that I know what I have to spend Ive been concentrating on the Mk1.

If you know of any decent articles then just let me know yeah?

I have just had a look at the one on ebay......................it looks like a very nice car.

Can you give me anymore info about it.................how long has he had it for, has it had any paint or accidents etc etc?

Thanks Stuart
 
I

iwantaV6



its done 5100 miles, i think he has had it for 1 year, no accidents or paint that im aware of, the car is 100% showroom condition. ive driven it myself and its sweet as. he dies however want £16500 for it though, but you could try and knock him down.

you get what you pay for. :)

i can give you his contact number if you want.
 
S

stusV6



Thaks for that.........................what Ill do is..............if its still there at the end of the auction and I havent bought one by then Ill give him a call and we can go into battle over the price eh:D

Although one has just finished.........19000 miler rite enough...........but made only £13500 and did not make the reserve....................there was also a 2004 that sold for £21000.

Also, without wishing to appear rude you may be better to find someone who has a bigger number next to their name ie has more of a proven track record on ebay.......................just a thought and no offence intended.

Thanks Stuart

iwantaV6



stu,

i thought that too mate. well, i dont think feedback ratings are an issue when its a car as youll collect it and pay then.
 
S

stusV6



Yeah youre probably rite there........................the car..........................does it have a tracker fitter................RAC Trackstar for instance?

Cheers Stuart

PS where are you lads located?
 
I

iwantaV6



they all have RAC trackstar as standard.

its not my car mate, its a friends. mine is staying with me - even lower miles.

he is based in south london, so a fair drive, but nowhere is too far for a good car IMO.
 
S

stusV6



London.........................no sweat...........................my dad bought a new car just in May from Bunham garage in Slough..........................he flew down at 9 in the morning and was back here (500miles) at 10 past nine that evening...........................sooooooo as I say London no problem.

If he lives near Burnham garage the 2 lads my dad was dealing with were Tom and Martin they will remember as its not everyday that someone goes on a 1000 mile round trip to get a car............................my dad always does that.
