am new and just bought this for the wife

[robdixon060]

i bought this the other week for my wife . its a 1998 R reg vtr . its been lowered ( bit too much if you ask me judging by the ride comfort ) and has induction kit and dtm mirrors . she wanted something small but sporty still and hopefully this will make her happy now .

its got 8 months MOT and the following few problems . problem with closing drivers door which i am hopefully gonna get fixed tomorrow, passenger seat is loose which is an easy fix i think and the heater blowers aren't working which i have no idea why ( any suggestions please let me know ) .

the lad i bought it off had got a new car for xmas and i bought it off him on xmas eve and he needed to get rid of it quickly cause he never had the room at the house blah blah blah . anyway suffice to say i thought £500 was a bargain

i am so glad though that within a few days she will happily be driving around in this and therefore she will leave my car alone which i have always thought was too big for her and a too powerful . besides she has always said she found the beemer too flash and was sick of me moaning about her kerbing my alloys all the time ( come on guys back me up here , if you had just put 19's on your car and your missus kerbed em wouldn't you moan a little )

anyway i have put a few pics on of both our cars for you all to see and i will tell my wife i have joined the forum here incase she wants to chat with all you fellow saxo owners .

i may also be putting the suspension back to normal as its too low really especially seeing as it is gonna have a baby seat in the back with a 2 yr old in . so i would appreciate any suggestions on how much this might cost and i may also have a set of lowering springs available to swop for some standard springs . cheers everyone for looking and no doubt being bored with all my drivvle .

cheers mate , yeah hopefully she'll stop driving the beemer now . and i have a mate who asked if i would swop the dtm mirrors for his standard ones so i may just do that . upto her i guess .

[cooky]

Nice cars mate !:clapping: a real bargain just get some springs from a scrapy ! Im getting my car lowerd 40or60mm with spring and rear for £125 so it should be cheaper:y:

[Viper]

hey therre, welcome to the P

as everyone else has said, you've got a nice pair :)
good luck with the fixes!

[xclairex]

hey and welcome

[robdixon060]

cheers for all the replies . unfortunately though it looks like i may have jumped the gun and insurance and general running costs for the vtr may be a bit too much for my wife as a second car . she has a friend who is selling a 1.4 corsa sport which she likes and as always she will probably be getting that . looks like the saxo will be going up for sale then . i am guessing there will be somewhere on this site i can advertise it if thats what she decides . cheers everyone .

[jclaydon]

Im sure youll get a buyer too if your looking for a price around that mark. I didnt say hi, but both cars look nice mate. Check out the for sale section, a bit further down, that should generate some interest.

Welcome to Sax-P. Sexy looking Beemer :D

[robdixon060]

amazing how things change . my wife has just told me she is pregnant and this will be our second child so the saxo and the beemer are both getting sold now . am gonna buy either a bmw 540i or m5 and the wife is keeping this little corsa she got off her friend . so any offers on the saxo let me know . would probably take £1200 for it . its got new tyres and alloys , sony xplod headunit and 6 x 9's fitted into an accoustic parcel shelf . overall condition is good and all the little niggly problems it had when i got it have now been sorted and it doesn't need anything doing .
