New to this section so please be gentle!
I've spent weeks looking for a replacement to the vectra in a frock.
This came up on autotrader & also eBay last night at a price that wasn't to be sniffed at. Half day holiday for me & off to Manchester it was to see what state it was in.
Full independent service history, 1 previous (blind) owner & low miles for an 11 year old diesel saloon.
Quick test drive felt pretty flat, it doesn't seem to shift until 2k when the boost hits in but felt ok. On the way home it revealed a vibration at motorway speeds & also whilst breaking from speed. I'm thinking drop links but hoping to get it on a ramp & have a fiddle around. The body will need a session in my mates body shop for both rear quarters, rear n/s door & front bumper painting due to various scrapes & dents. I will hopefully have the wheels re-furbed at the same time.
All in all still feel I had a bargain & hoping to be easy fixes with a service & some love.
I'm sure I'll have a parts list soon lol
Anyone got any lowering springs?
Anyway, the pics.
They said the interior was grey but it looks pretty cream to me.
Comments, criticisms & advice welcomed.
I think from my research I've got a good model but time will tell. I guess it comes with the territory when your skint.
