well i finaly decided to get a new car, needs a few small bits doing to it but it is solid as a rock and ok i payed a bit to much for it but then again its still not to much for one thats only done 58k and has a complete svs history.
heres some pics.
cars a 2.5 CDX with all the bels and whistles including a 6 disk multi changer (will be removed as the radio is gash and i want something that plays MP3's)
payed £1400 for it with 6 months tax to be put on by seller
future plans are to give it a full GSi kit, fit 3.0 cams, free flowing air filter, and full exhaust system (including manifolds) and dropping it by 40mm.
just need to get a quote off tom about fixing a extreamly small patch of rust.
tell me what you think. and where i can find some of the bits i want for the car.

It must have super low mileage to warrant 1400

it just turned over on 58k and in the last 10 years it only did aprox 4 to 6k a year
yes i know i payed a bit to much but a lot of people who say i payed a stupid amount for it live in places where there are a ubundence of these or they have people in the know who can get them cheap cars.. so peeps please dont comment on the price of the car, i payed it and not you thanks

Why not hire a limo and travel to view cars further away? Still cheaper even with a hooker and some coke

just got to find a full GSi kit..
only thing i can see thats going to be a bit of a pain is in the pictures i've seen of vectra b GSi's or SRi's they dont have a rear wiper.. so is that going to mean a new wiper stork and then a bung...

Would it not have been cheaper to buy a GSI from the start?
