Vectra barge on pistonheads

[W17GLE]

I've just put my car up on pistonheads if anyone is interested. It'll be sad to see it go but its time for a change.

Anyone looking for a quick diesel which is cheap to run and tax should seriously consider it. Its suprising how well it drives and handles, its perfect for a nice comfy run about that looks pretty good too.

i wanted to keep my clio though

 

[W17GLE]

Upto now i've been offered a nissan cargo van on 165,000 miles and 3k cash and a pimped up mk4 euro style golf gttdi. Does nobody just buy cars with cash anymore?

pistonheads is rapidly turning into 'swap your sheds with other sheds'

Good motor for the money mate.

Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks, i'll be sad to see it go.

Good price. Hasn't this been remapped?

Its got a tuning box so it can go either as a 150bhp standard or with it on as advertised on here were it is 190bhp.

lol @ nissan cargo van, how is that worth £1200......
very frustrating trying to sell a car nowerdays people just expect a bargin.

 

[W17GLE]

I've just been to vauxhall as i kind of know a guy on the service desk. He's took down all the details of the car because he says people come in asking for them and he'll pass my details if someone is interested. Pistonheads is a bit of a waste of time now.

 

[W17GLE]

Just been offered this impreza and £400 for the vectra i'm really tempted but getting insurance for a reasonable price is a nightmare due to the area and writing my last clio off.

Just remember the Vec will be faster!

 

[W17GLE]

i can't even get insurance for less than £1100 i'm not paying that for something thats slow, drinks fuel and is an ugly f**ker. The vectra is such a bargain to run in comparison, insurance is half the price, fuel costs are half the price and tax is less too.

The vectra is nearly the same power but 100ft lb more torque

 

[Clart]

is it wrong to really like that?

 

[W17GLE]

what the vectra or the scoobypoo? The vectra is cool.

 

[Clart]

the vectra is nice, the scooby is rank.

 

[W17GLE]

Well i've had my first total time waster, lets hope everyone isn't like that

 

[Herr Flick]

lol i had someone come to look at mine the other night and i told him i wouldnt go less than 850 but he didnt want to go more than 825, he came 60 miles and went back 60 miles without a car over 25 measley quid, which he would of wasted in petrol. t***s!!

 

[W17GLE]

This guy wanted to swap an impreza wrx and £400 my way and was willing to drive down from scotland to do the deal. So i spent all of yesterday ringing round trying to get a decent deal on insurance which i finally did eventually, i got my brother to hpi the impreza as well, all the time i was keeping in contact with the guy letting him know what was going on. He told me he was desperate for the diesel as it was costing a fortune in his new job and i thought well i'm getting a decent deal so i'll just sell the impreza on. Then last night he said will you meet me half way at a services which i thought ok i'll do that so i agreed so he says he'll ring me in the morning. This morning no calls so i ring him up and he's now wanting a straight swap and still meeting him half way so i'll be loosing out so i've just fucked him off. Its not like i've not had interest from other people so he can do one.

 

[R20 CWH]

hmm not the best, isnt his car advertised for like 6k though?

 

[W17GLE]

the impreza was advertised at 5k but my vectra is up at a very reasonable price considering mileage, service history and new bits. Plus running cost will be half what the impreza is so it would have been worth his while putting the cash my way.

 

[R20 CWH]

ok sitting on the fence £4200 v £5000, granted the diesel is going to be appealing to him but I would say a straight swap isnt a total disaster. I do appreciate its all about the market that you will get to 'punt' the scoob, but like anything it will sell at the right price.

What about negotiating a £200 deal and do the deal at the reebok stadium?

 

[W17GLE]

I'm going looking at a 172 at the weekend coz the lad is interested in the vectra. The scoob is a blob eye which nobody wants, it would cost me double to insure, double to fuel so i don't want to get stuck with it. Its not like they are even fast or they are nice to drive so tbh i'm not really bothered. I know full well the vectra is a great car and the scoob is a big unknown and could end up a money pit. The guy says its not had a clutch yet so that may be one thing that needs doing soon.

On the other hand, you could have £825 in your hand and shifted a car.

Instead all you have is a car. Thats still for sale. And no money.

All for £25.

 

[W17GLE]

yeah but the thing is i have plenty of interest in the vectra. the scooby is the one nobody wants and yes its advertised at 5k but there are others equivilent for around the 4k mark

 

[Daniel]

W17GLE, I agree with you!!

In this climate, i'd rather be trying to sell a Diesel family car rather than a Subaru Impreza. (And the most hideous model of impreza to boot!)

im in no rush to sell mate otherwise i would of, and i didnt like the 5 people gang tbh, your right, usually i would of for the sake of £25 but in this case no.
anyway ive got 3 people coming to look at it over the next few days!

 

[R20 CWH]

fair point wiggle i see and agree with what your saying, 172 could be a plan
