Good morning folks, having a look at one of these barges next wk. Bodywork wise car looks very clean and its going for a song.
Just wondering if anyone has an experience of them. Thirsty? Common Issues etc.....
This one has a low(ish) mileage, just gone over 70k , had a fair bit of money spent on it last year, vxr turbo. Regal stage 1 remap.
Cheers Scott

Its a coupe. Really wanting a GSI but this one has come up at a cracking price.
Really nice metallic blue colour

Europa Blue??Best colour for them.
Does it have the half leather/half alcantara interior??
Much prefer the Coupe to the hatch.
70k isn't all that much.Just check the usual timing belt etc.Turbo's seem to be talked about alot as a common failure at that mileage,but if its got VXR turbo then thats a bonus.
And from what ive read on here,they like to drink the fuel.

Example photo here, has some front splitter which will be getting flogged for a gsi front i think.
owner says it has a full leather interior, heated recaros - bonus in this weather

Yep,thats Europa Blue.Looks nice with the black wheels.
IIRC thats the Irmscher kit.
Remember its nearly summer,full leather wont be as much a bonus then.lol.
