My other cars

[Russ_16v]

Iv started selling cars part time and iv just grabbed two little bargains:

Pics of this are coming later:

Saab 9-5 estate
T reg
2.3 turbo

A complete bus, really good condition, and feels like you could do a million miles in it!



But the fun one is this:


Y reg Saxo VTS

118k with a rebuild at circa 100k
12 months MOT
6 months tax
Full service history and loads of receipts

Lowered on some springs of unknown origin

16 inch Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2

Grooved discs all round

Greenstuff pads all round

K+N induction kit

Stainless 4 branch mani

De cat

Magnex exhaust

It goes really well, and sounds fantasic with the exhaust combo


I was half tempted to keep this as a track toy, but i got to be sensible lol and the Clio is plenty good enough as that

 

[Fletcher]

The saxo looks tidy mate.

 

[Russ_16v]

It is mate, i was very suprised, bit bouncy but drives really nice, and is bloody quick.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Saxo FTW.

 

[Bluebeard]

Saxo FTW.

I think your W and L keys are round the wrong way.

 

[Leeshez]

^^^^^^LOL.

 

[the_prophet]

lol - i quite like it

injectors were posted first thing this morning russ.

 

[danjf]

iv always had a really soft spot for saxo vtr/vts

 

[jim cook]

Saxo looks cool ( an ex saxo Vtr owner )

 

[Brett]

I'd whip the pro race 1.2's off the saxo before you sell it. They're worth a few hundred quid.

Saxo looks good though, mileage is a bit high but should get decent money for it.

Not too bothered about the wheela atm mate, if i get no interest then il start pulling bits off

On the mileage side of things, its not a bit high, its actually 2k under the average for a 2000 year car

And as said its had big bits replaced lol

Oh its had a clutch too

 

[Hixle]

Saxo looks very tidy, how much are you looking for it out of curiosity? PM if you wish!

 

[Russ_16v]

Its up for £1350 mate with 12 months MOT

It is tidy, few small stone chips on the bonnet, but apart from that its lovely

 

[Gaz85]

that saxo even tempts me as a second car! ive been trying not to as well! lol

 

[Gally]

Russ working for VW you ever fancy moving to the VAG side?

 

[Russ_16v]

I have done so a few times mate, iv had a Mk4 Golf, a Mk3 VR6 on coilovers (had that for years) and a Mk3 Gti 16v.

Thing is, i always end up coming back to Clio's, iv had other french cars (309's, 205's, Saxo's etc) you know, the usual crop, but i just cant get Clio's out my system lol

They offer so much for so little money, the only thing that offers close to the same is the VTS/106 GTi, and they are just a bit too small for me

 

[Gally]

Yeah definitely bang for buck mate. You would have to spend a lot more to get close within the vag group.

Didn't know you had a few vw's.

 

[Waitey]

Pics and spec of the Saab?

 

[Poopensharten]

How did you come across the VTS Russ?

Im gonna get another Clio just shortly

 

[Russ_16v]

I've mentioned it before, but you will get at least £500 more profit out of it if you split it back to standard!!!!!

 

[Waitey]

Awesome. Does it have leather? PM me a price!

 

[Waitey]

I've mentioned it before, but you will get at least £500 more profit out of it if you split it back to standard!!!!!

Yep. Do this. I bought a VTS for £1400. Ran it for 3 months, sold all the parts off it (£700 worth) and sold it last week for £1400 lol. 50% profit on a £1400 car!

 

[Will.]

I think saxos can look so nice, but i have yet to see one with an aftermarket axhaust that looks straight and lined up in the bumper recess

This one isnt to bad, the pic makes it look worse, its a magnex system

 

[dave120]

VTS's are excellent fun.

16v badges are in the wrong place on that one! Should be much lower down.
