That's a lot of car for £5800!

 

[jesus]

Yup, nothing wrong with it too! Even has extra warranty remaining. Poor fucker is rolling in a gold Modus for the time being!

 

[boffey]

Think I've seen this in the workshop a couple of times at work, decent car if it's the same one.

 

[Bluebeard]

I love that!!

 

[Stava]

Looks like a really smart car.

I'd love that for my daily commute up the A47.

 

[Stefan.]

i really like that aswell hope he gets a buyer

give it a couple of months it'll probably b gettin stripped bare/ raw to shell in a workshop as it'll b WMP (Worth More in Parts)

Sure I've seen this about. Is the VXR badge on the read blue? I can't make out on my phone. If so I always thought it was a rep. If not then ignore me.

Been a 56 does this one not suffer with the £500 per year tax?

Edit - would have to pre march 2006 so I guess not.

 

[jenic]

Just trying to get my mate to buy this.

He's saved up for a hot hatch but now has a little un on the way so wants something this sort of size. Ideal compromise for him!

Nah it's on emissions, and applies post March 06.

In the grand scheme of things, an extra £200 in tax a year is f**k all.

Thats what I thought until the £465 tax reminder dropped through the letter box.

Aye it will be, he takes it to the Wigan one for the warranty work.

Nope it's standard. Everyone thinks he's unmarked Police!

 

[Edd]

That does look like a good example but it needs taxing next month so add £500 to the price.

I'd go for a Saab like mine everytime though, same engine and on a 56 plate but considerably cheaper than a VXR.

 

[welshname]

LOL! Can't believe he hasn't shifted it yet at that price. Lovely car.

He's caught me out a few times thinking he's unmarked. Although not as much as Mark does in the Evo

He should have got the MX54 COP Reg plate like we talked about though.

Looks like a nice bus, word of advice though:

Good Tyres All-Round (2x Pirelli P Zero Rosso, 1x Continental Sport Contact II, 1x Kuhmo Ecstra Spt).

That just screams 'run on a budget'. Non-matching tyres on an axle is gay.

Exactly my thoughts. Do it properly or run Semperits all round. Mismatched tyres (of any quality) is a bit retarded.

 

[jesus]

He's a student who has never had a job LOL. I think it's just what was on when he got the car (apart from the Pirellis on the front).

 

[Sir_Dave]

Just tell him to bung a part worn Conti or Kumho on there - eBay is your friend here.

Then you have matching tyres on both axles.

 

[jesus]

I'll pass on the message he's never sold a car before bless him.
