Hi everyone. Some of you may know already that I've sold my ZS and have put down a deposit on a Vectra VXR. I collect it this coming Saturday.
I bought the car blind after trusting the salesman's opinion of the condition of the car, and luckily it paid off.
It's a 2007 '56' reg with 10k on the clock. It has 4 brand new tyres, full service history, 1 year warranty, tracker, full electric leather recaro seats, xenon headlights, sat nav, pearlescent paint and best of all it's the newer 280bhp version. I even managed to buy it with no deposit or part exchange and I asked for 6 months road tax and got that too.
All for £10,999
The car is in it's dirtiest state in the photos as the owner only dropped it off in part exchange 2 hours before we turned up at the dealership in Birmingham. The dealer was excellent. He just put some dealer plates on the car then let me and my girlfriend take it out on our own for half hour!
I hate the alloys but I've already ordered some vxr replica BK999's with toyo tyres.
First thing I'll be doing is washing it and removing the swirl marks from the bonnet, plus giving the leather a damn good clean. I'll add a vxr badge to the front grille and remove the vectra badge from the rear. I'll see how it goes standard for a month or two then think about a remap.
