...Because i was on crack.

If i had the oppotunity to go back in time i would have bought a 3-door 1.5D and began on a modding adventure.
Still, at least the lack of anything decent for 5-door saxo means i can save a bit of cash.

i wanted a new car, my corsa sri wasnt cutting it so i looked round.

couldnt get a decent insurance quote for a vts and being a student didnt help matters but when i found my vtr it was love at first sight. and once i drove it i wasnt going to leave the dealer without it smileys/smiley17.gif i love saxos smileys/smiley16.gif

My dads cousin dabbles in the car sales, he had this sitting on his drive & offered it to my dad for dirt cheap money.

I told my dad to get it as it was a bargain.

The biggest mistake was keeping it, i could have spent about £50 at the scrappers & made an easy £500 on it.

well bit of a long story but here goes,

I Was originaly looking for a 3 series beemer but couldn't find one i liked.
I saw the saxo on the net whilst i was searching, went to view it and loved the shape,colour and the interior.
It drove well and had plenty of torque smileys/smiley17.gif
I did then Consider getting a VTS after test driving the vtr but the insurance quote was a lot more.

I Went back to the seller and managed to knock him down from £3200 to £2900 for cash.
I had to wait till the monday to get the cash out of the bank but when i rang him to arrange a time he'd gone away for the week smileys/smiley7.gif

Pissed off i said i was still interested in the car but only for £2700!, i lied and told him i'd seen another i really liked for £2750. He reluctantly agreed much to my amazement.

The seller was actually about 55, he had bought it as he liked the look but decided to get rid after only 3 months cus he wanted a cheap run around for work (he's a mechanic)
Amazingly when i went to pick up the car i got my mrs to drive me in my old beat up escort that i was gonna scrap after the mot ran out (in about a month).

The seller then told me he was after an escort & offered me £200!
So i ended up paying £2500 plus my old banger.
Not bad i thought for a mint x reg vtr with full service history.
