Issue with my Vec C

Mark_Dj

I am after £2000 for my Vectra C even though it stands me £3000 and still getting higher. It's on Ebay right now and if I can't sell it on there I was thinking about breaking it. I have just worked out roughly what I could get and it makes up the £2000 I would take and maybe more lol. Whats a 2.2 engine worth with new timing chain and balance shaft chain worth? It's had a fresh oil change and filters done. It's crazy if I can't sell it for £2k but get more if I broke it :lol:

Bloody hell Mark! After all the work that you've put into it!! I thought you were keeping this one for a while?

If you do decide to break it, I would imagine that the engine should get between £850 and £1000??

robo22sri

thats not good mark, what you thinking of getting instead? and how much will it cost to finish your car?

Mark_Dj

I think £350 to £400 would finish the car. I don't need a second car as I have the company van 🙂

robo22sri

thats tough mate, will you be happy not having a car there if you need it? and all the work you put in to it?

Daniel

would it not be worth putting the rest of the money in it and get more when selling ???

It's a shame that your project is coming to a end like this, many of the SRi-T's are now getting split now a days too. Its sad really when it is so close to getting done to undo all your work.

vocky

finish it off and sell it completed 🙂

robo22sri

yeah finish it mark! if you break it you will get the money back in bits and bobs! and it feels like you never got your money back!

It's gone up now on Ebay to £2000. The person under that bid had a max bid in at £1500. The winning bidder has 10 feedback only

i would leave it a while m8

the car tax increases have been dropped for a few years meaning the z22se cars should increase in value again
