MC Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 i vote cammo the bitch up so when it breaks down on you in the middle of a field somewhere no one will notice it if you just leave it there! 43000 on the clock? only another 20000 before the gearbox siezes/ suspension comes thru the floor/ electrics catch fire and burn everyone in it to death... Absolute bargain then, Baz, I know where there is a Jeep Cherokee going cheap, one careful owner (Don't know how many that weren't so careful) 1 years MOT. What more could someone such as yourself want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you mean it is £1690 over the top, and even then you should the other fiver off because of the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yep your right, the idea was daft, he offerred me part ex on the estate car seemed a good deal considering the mileage but i cant afford to run a jeep with a 4L engine :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 >this one< ? I considered these before getting my Shogun. In fact Andy and I went to look at a couple. Very under-rated truck. Great for lamping out the top of. Japanese engineering and only low miles. You'll get him down to the same price as the Frontera and this one is a sensible colour. The Winnie the Pooh tyre cover is very you too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Well I am going to defend Vauxhall here NOT because I own the company or work for them BUT! I have been driving for over 20 years now and in that time had a fair few Vauxhalls Started out with a MK1 Astra and to be honest wish I still had it Then got me a Chevette Auto a marvelous car though I had to do a bit of welding when I first got it! From there a mk2 Cavalier in dark green and again a cracking car till some twonk stole it then a mk2 astra 1.4 in White (not the best colour) but a cracking car. then got a mk2 cavalier est I bought a Nova for the Mrs as an enticement to pass her test but she failed and I ended up using it for about 9 month. then I bought a 1996 1.4 astra ecotec had it converted to LPG and drove it for 5 years never broke down once! Then a Cavalier 1996 (last cavalier to be made) in 1.8 and sold that to get a kit car (big mistake). Recently had another 1997 astra 1.4 8v till some **** pulled out in front of me on the roundabout Now driving a mk2 Peugeot 406 HDI and miss the Vauxhalls People told me the Vectra was the same engione etc as the Cavalier but that was a load of blow The vectra had shed loads of problems and the cavalier was tried and tested over 30 years. Personally I would choose a Vauxhall (other than a Vectra) over a lot of others. Dont like Alfa's / fords / citroen's / Renault's etc and YES i HAVE owned other cars even the old Volvo's and again the Volvo was not too bad either! If Vauxhall still made the Cavalier today I would be out buying one tomorrow! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yep, over-priced mate. How tidy it currently is don't really matter 'cos (based on what you plan to do with it) it'll be like **** once you've had it for a couple months. And that colour is well dodge, I'd only come out with you in it after dark (and make you pick me up round the corner). Dunk & I have been considering going 50/50 on an Exploder.

Starman Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Then got me a Chevette Auto a marvelous car though I had to do a bit of welding when I first got it! I had an old shuvit about 1988. Nice little car but insufficient metal left to do any welding. Edited January 19, 2010 by Starman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Buy it and get it wrapped in real tree - there is one round my neck of the woods, looks quite good for a Frontera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
