After having 2 I want another one. Anything considered. Must be willing to take my turbo Vectra in px unless I’ve it sold before. Any colour apart from black and lower the miles the better.
Vectra is 07 with 76k 2 litre turbo petrol full xp limited edition btcc model. It’s priced at 2k for a px.

That’s a total dog, every panel, both bumpers, drivers mirror, all 4 wheels have some form of damage, bonnet has a 10” deep and wide scratch very poorly touched in lol we were looking for an ST, looked at loads, very hard to find a decent one, just decided they didn’t exist and to avoid them

You say dog, dealer says immaculate.
Think I know who to believe

@56oval had a lovely red one for sale, not sure if it's sold and he strictly didn't want part ex

Im looking one at the moment too preferably in white. @gsmith your old white one looked a clinker (y)i prefer the st2 shape than the st3, i prefer the front lights an that on the st2. @56oval was selling what looked like a real cracking example of one a few weeks back & i just missed it 8o|

Hard to find now although this time iam looking one to abuse every day although I’d buy either off my old ones back in a heartbeat and possibly keep the Vectra as a daily. :monkey:
There a nightmare to find a decent one. A lot of them are rotten now and if you get one that hasn’t had all the common faults fixed can run into a few grand easily.

Honestly, we were so gutted, looks good in the pics but it’s a horror show, proper ignorant git owns the place too. Being polite, we looked around it, 1st thing he did was pull open the passenger door and it bounced off a red Hyundai sitting beside it.....set the tone :confounded: Unsurprisingly there is no full service history as advertised, I asked if the belt was done, he opened the book and pointed at some hand written text and said yes, I asked to see it again and the text said brake pads 26k and the date :joy:

After deliberating and messing @MarkM about ( apologies mark ) i decided to sell mine after christmas. I was in two minds but it was literally just sitting in the garage doing nothing. Prices seem to be all over the place, cheap 3k hen houses to 8k-10k performance dealer fodder. I could have easily asked £6500 in the spring but I priced mine fairly to sell, not to hang around like most. It was a brilliant car , loads of character and good fun, but it was a box ticking excersize. I just didn't enjoy washing and waxing, i love my older cars to tinker with. First guy to call came that day, said it was the best he'd looked at in 2 years trying to find one and the deal was done.

My advice, find the best unmodified example you can find with decent miles. You wont lose a penny.
