Cavcraft Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Very late (Dec) 2001 Vectra 2.2 petrol SRi 150 hatchbackMOT 19th JanuaryTaxed to get home89,000 miles (will check MOT history to see if it's gen, but it certainly looks it.Really really clean car has half leather seats and all that sort of caper.I reckon it'll want pads minimum for MOT, the warning light is on on the 'computer' and I'm sure the brake light came on when driving today. I've topped up the brake fluid so will see what happens. Front bumper I reckon has had a very low speed nudge as the osf stays on the gaps aren't 100% and I think it isn't clipped in properly. Small hole in rear bumper possibly one front fog light lens broken. Really does seem a tidy car, obvs anyone is welcome to thorougjly inspect it. In Chester, £170 can take it, I'd be amazed if it wasn't worth more in bits oldcars, strangeangel, dave21478 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've gambled £170 on worse bets. Could be easy on the road with 12 months for under £300! Road tax might be a killer with the 'what it doesn't cost £30 a year to tax!?' Brigade. But at that money who gives a shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnite Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 its because everybody has been brainwashed into thinking that if you don't buy a ds3 or bmw 1 series on 36 month pcp at £3k down and monthlies of £296 plus vat for 6k miles a year then your life maybe in danger driving an old car(which they mean an 11 plate car) Jerzy Woking and The Reverend Bluejeans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's also the OLD SHAPE which of course instantly makes you a complete loser. When I think back 30 or 40 years, not many folks had a new car. Everyone drove an old 1100 clinging to an MOT. Fuck me, even Denis Thatcher had a Cortina V / '80 Estate.

purplebargeken Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hmm, tempting but there is no way I could drive that distance in a manual car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djimbob Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hmm, tempting but there is no way I could drive that distance in a manual car Me too, also our kid has one of these with big end bearings gone, in an auto I think, in Newcastle, but on a 2005 or something, could have pillaged it for bits! However cost of getting the two together in Leeds, then finding out nothing is compatible, is prohibitive I suppose Need a bigger motor soon, have found the Pug 205 coupe and Atoz five door just not family friendly for supermarket and motorway trips hauling fat people and pushbikes etc, so anyone who fancies a swappage for a luxo barge or people carrier in an auto gissa pm Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Far kennel, £170?! That's, like, free of charge! When you mentioned that you got it for a low price it must have been pence. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That is cheap, and you can be like David Brent selling cleaning stuff out the boot and make the £170 back in a few days, Cos Sales Rep Car. Would. But can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 F**king Nora Batty, talk about tempting, how can that only be £170? I bet it will hammer along at 100mph all day long. Nnnnnnggghhhh!!!!! Cavcraft and UltraWomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Was it this shape Vectra that Clarkson claimed to be dead dull and boring and instantly millions of people were sat down the pub talking about how dull and boring they were? Mine was fine. Found it more comfy, faster, better handling and nicer looking than the Mondeo it replaced, perfectly acceptable transport. dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wouldn't have thought it was that bad on the juice... I mean it's very unstressed and the old vectras hardly a leviathan by modern standards. I'd think knocking about you'd see 30mpg no problem. I'm subconsciously talking myself into this.

rantingYoof Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you were within half an hour of me I'd have that, hurl it at my local friendly mekanik, get 12 months on it, and then find somebody in my circle of family/friends who wants/needs a very cheap, decent runabout. As it is, GLWTS. Really nice colour for a Vectra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
