Cavcraft 2015: Vectra, because you're worthless.

[Cavcraft]

I honestly think this is the worse car I've ever had. No mean feat or boast, but the daylight pictures (weekend now) will confirm it, I'm sure.

 

Advertised as (Daewoo Kalos) 1.2 with 12 months MOT, 12 months tax and (all genuine quotes) a medium size dent and a small scratch, a mechanic I know said £80-£100 to fix. No other problems, great car, can't afford insurance. £250.

 

The reality:

Daewoo Kalos 1.2. Taxed cashed back 23rd December, 'medium dent and small scratch' are fantastically bad. It looks like someone's 'sick drifted, yo.' Several times into several brick walls.

The bloke who sold it her said she could keep the tax or cash it in, that it was two owners and last was an old lady and it was insured for a day for her.

She drove it home, at some point 'hit the gate post' and was clearly stung by whoever sold it to her, big time. She's partly to blame for not having it checked or looking at the log book, but she's just a ( pregnant) kid and was royally mugged off.

Anyhow, MOT Jan 2016, exhaust blows and it just looks completely awful. I couldn't say no, and I bet Cartakeback don't either when scrap goes back up!

Picture/s don't do it justice, the full horror will be revealed when I get daylightpictures..,

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, I had to put petrol in it as was completely empty.

Swap for eggbox 360 and Webley Tempest .22 air pistol mate?

You want to be careful with offers like that... this is Billy we're talking about!  He might just accept!

Looks awesome in the pics

"Royally mugged off buying a Daewoo Kalos"

Another one of those things you think will never happen in a civilised country.

Can't wait to see daylight pics.

[beko1987]

Years MOT? Must be some fun to be had with it?

 

Could I borrow it, hide the Meriva and tell SWMBO I've got her a new car?

[AnthonyG]

Was so expecting a Nexia....

[wuvvum]

I had a Kalos 1.2.  I paid just over 300 quid for it IIRC, but it was sans dents.  Not an unpleasant little thing to drive really, apart from a dreadful gearchange.  The handling was amusingly wallowy and boat-like for such a small car, and the ride was comfy.  Did like a drink though for what it was.

[fairkens]

Saw a nexia the other day, will get pics if I see it again

[AlabamaShrimp]

I can honestly see sod all in them pics but I'm sure it's the stuff of dreams. I think you should put it in the garage and shout barn find* as loud as eBay lets you in 10 years

[skattrd]

Is this a Nova under the Daewoo badge? I thought you'd like these ...

[drum]

Looks nice

 

[UltraWomble]

Yeah, looks OK to me VINCENT

[saucedoctor]

Despite you posting the worst photographs EVER to be put in the internet, I can see what looks like a pretty big dent in the front wing. There are a good few on eGay for not much dorrar, though.

 

Edited to add: I drove one of those as a hire car in Barcelona some years ago. I liked it - sort of an honest car with no pretensions. A bit like a properly made MK1 Fiat Punto.

[MarvinsMom]

OMG  The Blackhole!

 

i has a toy vincent when i was a kid, i've not seen that in YEARS!!!

[UltraWomble]

You know what, now its daylight those photos look better.

Still an uBer shit car though. I hope that you got it for no more than a sherbet dib dab and three score.

I'm glad you qualified that... 

[chaseracer]

Billy, was the seller pregnant before you got there or was the deal even more complicated than usual?

 

[purplebargeken]

You is clazeee!

Let's just say he left a small deposit! Fnarrhahaha

[Justin Case]

I am sure that those photos do the car justice.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

You should try running them thru photoshop. The drivers front wing and door are spectacular.

I did. Pity I haven't a clue how to use it, though.

[UltraWomble]

Imagine Left Bank Two playing in the background whilst you gaze upon this.

[trigger]
