Sorry typing and working, too many pests at my desk asking irrelevant work questins, and i keep swatting them...
According to the listing car has a new engine - why ?
What is its mileage
coolant is either weak / weak vx blue or water - its not pink thats for sure...
-
i have asked what the mileage is, does it have LPGA certification and what his buy it now price is?
-
Wasn't the 02 plate one for sale on Ebay a few weeks ago? If I remember correctly, it was purchased by a chap who registered on here a few days later. It looked a smashing car then. :-?
-
Damn, wish I'd waited another week before buying my 2.5 Elite :'(
-
did anyone click the link in my above post too?
surely there'd be a fault on the car at that price, i'm tempted to buy it just for the alloys and sell it on with my elite ones on it!!

the irmscher one?
is there much that can go wrong if the new owner shoves a complete new cambelt kit on it and gets it serviced?
the link i posted was removed, and relisted as auction, i think someone told him it was a bit cheap
-
Yup the irmy one, wont be me at that mileage ::)
-
he is being brave at that sort of money.
ok its had a new engine, but what about the rest of the car?
Mines got similar mileage and i doubt mine would make £1500 and that is with the LPG kit as well.
the kit wouldn't bump the value up by that much

Agree, the kit is worth a lot, however at that mileage major work will be required on many of the major components, outwith the engine, additionally its due a cambelt at 160000...
Oh and by new engine i dont get the feeling it was brand new either

This the car we discussed Markie? What proof does the seller have thats its a brand new VX engine, rather than a breaker altarnative? Don't like the colour of the coolant, if it were a VX genuine one....

the very one Bruce :) and you were right about the mileage, suspecting it to be interstellar, no indication it is brand new engine, but as you say if its IS brand new AND vx fitted, why on earth does it have blue in it :o :o
-
The write up specifically says "new engine supplied by vauxhall" so it shouldn't (?) be a scrappy/breaker one .... should it ? :)
-
As quoted on other potential 'good buys', only pay what you can afford to loose....
-

True.
However, before spending my hard earned, would like to see a copy of the receipt giving engine number, date supplied, as wellas who/where fitted with what warranty.... ;)

Very true .. and if that paperwork is suddenly "not available" ... walk away :)

The other thing that raises warning bells for me regarding this E-bay deal is the lack of questions/answers on the listing.... I find that really genuine folks tend to list Q & A's to save repeating themselves - or are simply too dense to realise they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing so.... Those that do nothing, as in this case, I am highly dubious of........
