***EDIT***
Number plate has now been transferred over so the Vectra's new registration is: KH51 ONX.
As I could do with the space on the drive I am dropping the price to £800 ONO - that includes all the upgrades, including the standard suspension and the RAID strut brace. Stripped for parts it would probably go for significantly more, but I can't bring myself to do it and don't have the mechanical know-how or money to get it fixed and back on the road. Let me know if you want any more info/photos or are interested in arranging to see it.
***ORIGINAL ADD***
My Vectra's snapped it's cam chain the other day and I cannot afford to repair it, so am offering the whole car for sale as a spares/repair job before breaking it myself for parts (trying to avoid this if possible). The engine in it is the Z22SE, and I don't know how extensive the damage to the engine is.
The car itself has about 85,000 miles on it, comes with an MOT until 15/6/2011 and has a good service history (gap between '06-'09), with it last having a major service in May or June this year. It is about to be SORN so will not come with any tax (can't be driven at the moment anyway).
Good points about the car:
Had a full respray last year, so bodywork is in very good condition
17" Dezent RB alloy wheels in very good condition (slight kerbing mark on one wheel) with plenty of tread left on the tyres - only done about 5-6000 miles on them
Switchable traction control
Cruise control
Black Diamond Combi (grooved/drilled) brake discs and BD Predator brake pads - barely showing any signs of wear as only fitted about 4000 miles ago
Interior in very good condition throughout with almost not marks on any of the surfaces
Adjustable V-Maxx coilovers fitted about 3-4000 miles ago in very good condition and provide a very sporty feel to the car when combined with the low profile tyres fitted (original suspension included in sale)
Upgraded front door speakers (Pioneer)
Vibe 6x9" speakers mounted in the side shelves in the boot (NOT the parcel shelf), so they are completely out of the way and make removing the parcel shelf easy
Cold air feed and de-restricted airbox
Irmscher "letterbox"-style exhuast
New alternator fitted 12 months ago
Has approximately £60 worth of Tesco 99RON Premium Unleaded petrol in it
If the asking price of £1000 is met I will throw in the RAID Vectra V6 strut brace for free - these typically go for about £100-150 on eBay and are highly sought after.
In total in the 15 months or so I've owned it, this car has had over £3500 spent on it.
Feel free to ask any questions on here or via PM.
Car will have to be collected and trailored/towed away from Exmouth, Devon.
All this for £800 ONO
Some photos:
Footwell looks a bit dirty, but will all be cleaned properly before sale:
Boot mounted speakers:
Boot showing how the speakers are hidden with now wires (excuse the mess of engine parts in boot):
Don't have any up to date under bonnet photos to hand, but it also has a Roose Motorsport silicone induction hose fitted, only put on a few months ago (cost £105).
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Forgot to mention - the private plate is NOT included in the sale; it will have a 51 plate on for the buyer.
