I WANT A CAR NOW

[badboyben88]

This is really starting to irritate me!!! smileys/smiley13.gif

I have been searching for a Mrk 1 Saxo VTR and have
2000 quid burning a hole in my pocket

Everyone I have seen has either had bad problems
(today the car had a steering rack problem which would have cost £650!!!!!!!!!)

And others over price them so much,
One on ebay wanted £2200 for a saxo with 98,000 miles and had only been lowered 60mm all round, is it me or is that OVER priced

I look onto www.parkers.co.uk for a valuation and a saxo vtr 1998 (R Reg) with an average milage of 70000 is worth (in good conditon 1650)

All I can say is im glad that my dad is a pro mechanic or i would have bought the car i saw today in a flash and then would have cost 650 extra to sort the rack problem

Is there anywhere else I can look other than auto trader and ebay

Cheers Guys and great website

i had this prob, ebay and autotrader are the best places, try the loot but otherwise ull find it hard to get a cheap one.. and yes that is over priced for that mileage

[badboyben88]

Well thank you Im glad im not the only one

I emailed him what I thought was fair (1850) which is still on the high side and he replied

"no thanks mate, go and waste someone elses time"

Fooking twat lol

the one on ebay is over priced i have an r reg and 88k miles wouldnt expect to get 2200 for it. mines in fair nick tho full service history last at 80k so 2k more ish for the next i change oil sparks and fuel between times. not lowered or anything tho but lovely alloys. think the parkers is a little under valued to 70k on an r i reckon 1850-2100

[badboyben88]

Fair enough I did think when i saw parkers valuation was a bit low as I had been looking before and no cars were goin in that kind of price range

Its a god thing to take along to barter with a seller tho lol smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley2.gif

[VTaaRon]

yeah def and a haynes in the hand always scares the shit out of them coz they think youll take ages so lower the price to get rid of you....handy hint smileys/smiley2.gif spend 200-300 more think theres a mk2 vtr w reg just under 70k miles on the clock in the for sale section vtr (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27400&PN=3)

[ne_jam]

i payed £2100 for 97 vtr 48k on clock full history , mexgex exhuast + statard , k&n + stanard , angel eyes + stanard , lower 40mm ,

[VTaaRon]

i paid 1200 for r reg 80k full service hist 1 year mot and 6 month tax

[badboyben88]

Cheers will bear that in mind

The car looks great but im just not sure about the mark 2 vtr and it is quite far from me lol being near london

Waht are the common problems with the saxo's that i should be looking out for ??

Cheers Ben

P.S Vtaaron DONT RUB IT IN LOL

[silver_saxo]

Mine was £2300, 1998 R, one owner, 50K, yrs MOT etc etc

Took me a while to source a decent one, you just have to keep looking.

[badboyben88]

Cheers guys

If anybody see's a car please could ya post it on this thread as im desperate to start modding

[b0t13]

look for oil on the left hand side of the engine, and check the oil cap for white stuff, if there is anything like that say u want £500 off the price as the head gasket has gone ;)

happened to me but it only just started as i bought the car :S

[starkie]
