Took delivery of this today, 2000 vectra 2.5 v6 sri.The mileage is fair high at 130,000 but im only keeping it for a year and it was dirt cheap.Car is immaculate inside it just needs a hoover, few scratches on the outside but nothing you wouldnt expect.Runs like a dream(went out for a 10 minute test drive with him driving) as you know i cant drive it yet so its going getting garaged which also gives me time to change a few things  will get more pics soon.

Yeah 130k is high, but like i said its cheap and atm im only thinking of keeping it for a year till i get 1 year ncb under my belt then get something else, car hasnt been used for months and it runs perfect.Il get a vid of it later.
And jambo, i was thinkin og gsi front bumper or maybe full kit not sure yet.Think it will look lovely though like that

I wouldnt be shocked by 130k. My x14xe is at 114 atm and it runs just as nice as it did at 80k. Just keep nice fresh oil in there and your sound!

130k is nothing on a Veccy, mine had done 126k and was still fine.
Looks good though, white wheels look perfect on it.

Was thinking of making it look similar to an st gavin, gorgeous cars.The interior will be changed for a full gsi interior when i can find one and when i have the cash and thats about it for the interior, anything else is overkill imo, they look better simple and tidy.
