Would you buy a car thats had 8 owners?

MikeS

i agree about amount of owners

due to the fuel it sucks up
had z20net signum and i worked out it burnt a quid of fuel every minute i floored it however it did 35 mpg when i changed gear under 3500rpm

mark work out how much it will cost you in terms of travelling to get it as well as driving home with it - cost of repairs

i be looking for pictures of the dashboard with ignition on and with the car running before you make the trip down as electrical faults with ecu is very common

Well I am going to fly down to Southampton and get a train to Poole. The flight is £211 for 2 and £26 for tickets on the train for 2. I am going by plane to cut the amount of hours to get to Poole (6 hours on the train). Then fill up the car to get me home.

All i can say is good luck :thumbup: I really hope it is as good as it sounds.

Matt

Yeah, hope it all works out Mark, especially having to travel to the other end of the country to fetch it

Mark_Dj

Thanks for the offer but I will need to get back asap to let the pup out to the loo lol. He is going to be left alone for a while. Unless I can get my son over to watch him

MikeS

oki 🙂

The guy has just put 6 months tax on the car for me today. I do hope it's ok after this long trip.

Matt

Fingers crossed for you Mark.

Mark_Dj

The guy even said we are getting a bargain, I just hope he is loaded and don'tgive a crap about money lol. He bought an Audi avant to replace the Vectra

MikeS

remember a kid flying down from scotland to buy my nova gte

very emotionally draining for both parties as both buyer and seller is worried about backing out after going to such great lengths to buy the car

sandyc

That is a huge risk and by the time you factor in the cost of travelling there and back as well as other things, is it still a bargain? A mate of mine drove for 5 hours to see a car that sounded and looked great just to find it was a shed. Lets face it Im sure we've all made a lemon sound good just to get shot of it.

I drove to London for mine and didn't even test drive it lol... That wing will pop out also if you take the headlight, mine got knocked in the same place but on the panel line so still noticable, I reckon yours won't be 🙂

Mark_Dj

I very nearly had an Astra Gsi Turbo 2004 53 reg in Arden Blue with slight damaged to the front corner (Bumper mainly need) and that finished at £1500

Matt

When are you going down to fetch it then Mark?

Mark_Dj

On Thursday Matt, it's going to be a long day

Matt

It sure will be!
