Why so cheap? - Saxperience

Okay, It may go up, but not to the normal VTS price.

Im looking into getting a vts in Sept as insurance turns 2 years, but if its a bargain may as well get one now- i'd probably prefer to buy from a dealership as opposed to private seller as its safer; but what do you think of this car in particular?

If you look at the picture from the left hand side of the car, look in front of the front wheel- seems like a large gap?- looks fine apart from small dent-easily fixable im sure- does it look thrashed? obviously its hard to say just off pictures and details, but just going from the pics, what do you think?

Im not going to give my opinion now, because i could be wrong.

well a 2002 with 50k go for around £2800 - £3100 round here so i would say that £2300 is about right for that grubby lookin vts with them dents however in the pics the front arch lining is missing so maybe its had a front ender before plus it looks smoky in the pics so make sure u see it from cold and make sure she dont smoke if u look at her, looks like she would clean up well

doesnt look in the best of condition tbh, its probablies about right, im guessing they want a qucik sale

engine looks like its had a hard life to me, im guessing the paintwork wont be much better telling from the inside, a good pc on that will have it looking nice, its a bargain if your willing to put the effort in to cleaning it up

Yeah, there are too many ifs and buts to it really-too many catches, to me no paintwork on a car i buy will be good enough anyway, i think the engine looks a little grubby, the smoke also looks a little unhealthy, and that panel at the front end should be there; i will stay clear; i think tbh if ive got the money i may aswell get something a little more 'price reflective'; although i will keep my eye on it and maybe make further enquiries- although its slightly too far to travel for a quick view.

Thanks for your help guys!

Got all the signs of a ragged chav-mobile...

That's something you'd see 'avin it around mcdonalds on a friday night doing handbreak turns. As others have said would prob clean up well but it's probably got a few problems or things that are soon to go wrong.... I'm just judging it may have been treated well but.... I doubt it

Yup^^^ agree, ragged more than likely and the price reflects that.
