well only just joined up so thought i had better post some pics up,i brought this friday evening,had a 300 mile round trip to collect it but well worth it as i got it for a bargain price,its 2000 V reg gls, got a few plans for it,some facelift elite alloys,clear side repeaters,irmy boot spoiler,and some very subtle splitters,also a new stereo as the cartridge wont eject from the cd player,anyway here it is before i gave it a thorough clean which i'm in the middle of doing today.

looks a nice mig
what did you pay for it
-
£600,10 months mot,3 1/2 months tax,full history and loads of paperwork and also has a mega expensive parrot bluetooth wired in as well,i was looking for one closer to home but for the same money i would've got an n reg with no tax an a bit tatty,there was hardly any for sale in this area so done a bit of travelling,i was already half way there on friday anyway with my mate collecting some ebay goodies.
-
i was ripped off with mine
i paid £600 for a 1994 m reg 2.5 v6
new engine had been put in
-
Not bad. GLS with CCR2006, TC and a rear electric blind as well :y :y
-
thats about the price i've been seeing them for though mate,which is why when i found mine i jumped at it.
-
Nice car for the money. Well done and have fun with it. :)
-
Nice looking car; I like the colour.
I'm selling some Elite facelift wheels if you're interested...

A very lovely example Chris! :y :y :y You did well there! :D ;)
Do you know why it has no badges on the boot lid face? :-/ :-/
-
Looks clean for the year and the money Chris.
Happy driving :y.
-
very nice intact with mud flaps too.
-
has it had a full headunit and switch conversion?
has basically all the switches of an elite!

Ah, but you chose to pay it - nobody had a gun to your head.
And in fairness, it is a very tidy example indeed especailly with those mint facelift alloys.
I don't think you were ripped off - just personal opinion...
-
wow loads of replys,thanks everyone,right to answer some q's,i hav'nt got a clue why theres no badges on the boot an did'nt even pass a thought till you pointed it out lol,as for the headunit and switches somethings gone on because its got a switch for leccy rear blind but theres no blind,traction control either does'nt work or again its got the switch but no tc,albatross how much for the wheels matey and i take it they are the wide spoke 6 spokes?i think they're the elite ones although i might be wrong,and finally a big thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome :y

Chris, if you lift the flap on the headunit and pull the white tab the cd magazine should eject :y
Nice Mig by the way, where are you in Kent?

Wasn't far from you this weekend then as I stayed at Manston and was at my nieces place in Queen Bertha Rd on Sat ::)
-
2.0 wont have traction control so its possible the whole unit might have been replaced, which i wouldnt complain about, but it probably means you dont have heated seats either :D

Would not be a major hassle to add a rear blind though :y

i looked under the seats and theres wires going into the bases,i know the drivers seat is leccy but the pass one is'nt so i assume that they must be heated,mind you though i put em on for a min or 2 but could'nt feel my bum warming up,the switches light up though when turned on.

......and I would add to my earlier post that there is no wing "GLS" badge either, so maybe the car has been resprayed at some stage / for some reason or maybe it is ex-plod (CID car perhaps) ??? :-/
If latter it should have been well serviced :y. What's the mileage? :-/
-
its defo not been resprayed and the mileage is 158000 with history upto 134000,main dealer upto about 100000 then an independate garage.

Ok Chris; just one of those unusual exceptions to the rule; perhaps the first buyer specified "no badges" as was a fashion briefly in the 1980/90s. 8-) 8-)
Lovely car anyway, and will look out for it when on the roads of North Kent! :y :y
-
Nice car and at a good price..well done.
I will keep my eyes open for you when I am down in Thanet ..get down there about twice a month.
-
you can do a sort of hpi check of the history of the car by texting the reg to 83600
it checks history of the car checking past insurances and police checks it costs about £3 plus a standard text

please see tech help as i got a blind today and have encountered a prob,it would be good to meet up with some of you if ever your down this way,keep an eye out for me i'm normally floating around ;)
-
thought i would post up an updated pic of the mig with the new alloys on,they are vectra c 16" design alloys which totally transform the look and ride of the car,realy pleased with them and they was another ebay bargain ;D
