Maybe this tells you the car has a secret.....

You'll never know unless you go look.

Does sound suspiciously cheap though.

[Carlvtr88]

it does doesnt it ... im half tempted to go and look... engines prob been ripped out or its been clocked.. i dont know .. only way to know is do a hpi but thats 20 quid .... i might text him and say is it genuine or are you taking piss.. lol
what i dont get is a genuine vts like that could fetch 2Grand easy... so why is he holding back lol ..

[Rob-6]

it might have been traded in and he just wants rid of it and thats all it owes him. i would defiantly give him a ring you could even run it for a while then get your money back if not more!

[Carlvtr88]

i know... ive just put comps in mine and stuff so im like is it worth all the hassle and the insurance hike... but somethings also sayin go down there lol

[Rob-6]

i would buy it swap your stuff over then sell yours

[nicolala]

I guess you'll never really know until you go and see it in person?

[Carlvtr88]

true... i dont have £1400 pound though lol and its sunday hes probly not trading today...

[Carlvtr88]

well... idea over, i just text him and he sold it lol... someone has jus bought one hell of a bargain ! if its genuine, lol... hes probably on here some where... Where are you you lucky son of a bitch !!

[dinga]

a strange price to list it at £1394

[potatopete]

Looked like a very tidy VTS, tbh. I'd have gone for it.

[So51cdy]

tax bills coming up for businesses in the next few weeks, some of them need cash fast

thats probably why hes selling it off cheap!

[josh1989]

it's a shame when people don't know the worth of their car :)

[Ocego_VTR]

Seeing a few in the northwest at that price recently.

[Japman]

already bought it
pics up later

[DeeBeeVTS]

Major bargain!

[Mieran]

That price is normal.

I've seen 03 reg VTS' go for under 2K

[Carlvtr88]

yeah .. with about 90 k on them.... normal my arse ! lol genuine 44k on a vts is good for a 2000... your the only one that said that lol...

[stinkycheese]

its almost 10 years old...

[jonesy9]

i beleive its sold, im sure if seen it at my local tesco in the carpark, the lad that owns it lives around the corner from me, il soon find out wether its a pile of **** or not :)

[bytor]

fog lights on, great seller.

[Mieran]

yeah .. with about 90 k on them.... normal my arse ! lol genuine 44k on a vts is good for a 2000... your the only one that said that lol...

Not really.

No one is buying Saxos in the first place so over pricing one will make the car even more undesirable.

[Gary-VTR]

Trade Seller:
Carisma U.K

Potentially touched by Westwood, hence the low price.

[Sparco_Tom]

its an old car now, times are tough for people selling cars.

[Lloydie]

Check its MOT history online.


Get the number on the front of the V5 form and its reg and you can check all the MOT history to see if the miles add up / mot fails. Also do a HPI check on it :y:

[fasteddysaxo]

yep good call on the above.

[JamesR]

The owner might no know what it is / what its worth maybe?

[Carlvtr88]

well someone on here has bought it... he is going to post pics up soon... despite what people say its a good deal... where can you get 120 break for 1394 these days ... think about it... i know what you mean about it being hard for dealers with the credit crunch and all but come on ... its a vts 44k for under 1400... and note i said " if its genuine " .. obviously if its been ragged then fair enough but ... it is low mileage for a 2000 i dont care what you say .. ive seen 03's with 80 and 90k on them ...

[vtrvinnyboy]

barstud . its sold then , i am looking for a nice little vts

[nicolala]

You must be gutted. Cause I sure would be. :)

[PUG1OFF]

just buy it

[Carlvtr88]

the case is now .. the guy on here was joking he hasnt bought it but.... someone has .. i asked the seller and he said it was sold.. wounder

[furiomike]

a strange price to list it at £1394
1394 is the standard Firewire interface.

i think its a fake scam sale and the guy looked to his classic ipod for inspiration on price.

[Carlvtr88]

lol i do think its too good to be true... but someone has it somwhere

[jonesy9]

the case is now .. the guy on here was joking he hasnt bought it but.... someone has .. i asked the seller and he said it was sold.. wounder

i know the lad which has bought the car, he lives like less than a mile from me, car seems fine atm, only time will tell i geuss :)

[mcchriswood]

where can you get 120 break for 1394 these days ... think about it...

I have heard some stupid statemnts but this is one of the worst.
Look up 90s model toyota celica gt's Standard as 180bhp and sell for around the 1000 mark.
On another note i just bought a seat ibiza gti 2.0ltr 16v for 450 pound as a runabout. Decent service history may have high miles but pulls hard and comes with 150bhp as standard.

[KyL3]

Yeah a very nice looking car that was :)

[Carlvtr88]

what your not gettin though mate is who at say 18 19 is going to want to drive a big toyota celica as there first car.. and a vtr at group 7 insurance is affordable ,, maybe yeah a vts is 14 but, i was actually reffering to small hatches...not toyota celicas and cars a like ?...
i was reffering to the car as a whole a nice little vts 120 break easy to mod...for a cheap price... im not being funny but go on auto trader and look at the rest of them.... 80 90 k and people asking for nearly 2g...all my point was is that i thought it was cheap for a vts... and fair play to you getting your 2litre gti that seems like a bargain... as i thought this saxo was too...
and a 2 litre 16v for a run about ??? lol isnt that what 1.2s are for.. unless your loaded

[TheNewtyMan]

:O thats dead cheap!

be careful tho, i mean, theres a diference between "quick sale" cheap and "ive taken the bulbs out of the dashboard warning lights" cheap.
