Spotted a 1999 Vectra SRI 2.5 V6 for £200

MOT'd til April 2009


Unfortunately subject to a Cat C Write-Off, but all it needs is a front passenger door (checked with VOSA)

No pic of the door in question, buts its 5 inch dent front window to bump strip (down middle)

Therefore, will also need a VIC check

Question is.... Should I buy it?

£200 it's one hell of a bargain

Well worth it mate, go for it but be quick

Just waiting for the new owner of the omega to collect that


Hmm, i really do feel a purchase coming


Exactly the same spec as I have been looking for too.

Would just had to swap a door over and take it for VIC in Liverpool

well a bargain, even if you spent £400 on it

good luck, let us know how you get on

Hmm costs....

£50 door
£38 VIC

Tax £101.75 (6 months)

Insurance.... about 700-900 dependant on company


With it requiring a VIC, would i need to do the MOT again ? (expires Apr 09)

Forget that

A new MOT is required after a VIC has been performed, before the vehicle is legally allowed back on the road

Another £30 to £40 then


Still.... not too bad. £100 to get it back on the road before tax and insurance

Need to see the car / pics.

Have the pillars been damaged for it to be "C" rather than a "D"

Going up to see it in the next couple of days

So will check for any pillar or sill damage

well a Bargain, good luck

yeah. this omega is due to leave soon anyway

so wont be long now

good luck tony with your new vectra hope u do buy it

Id buy it. But i have a soft spot for these and theyre not too common either.

If you buy it, it deserves a straight through exhaust, the noise of these is enough to get the hairs on your neck to stand!

basically waiting on this omega to go, and then i am going after this car

hmm..cat c.....look at it carefully..and when u think you've finished..look again...it seems too good to be true!

yeah will do

i know the risks of buying cat Cs and Ds

Going on from this

To move it home I will be using Short Term insurance, ie 1 day - £15

When it comes down to moving it to Liverpool for its VIC.
Is it safe to assume that I can use Short Term again to do this ?

As obviously it needs to be insured to be moved there (if driven), and it needs to be able to be driven into the centre under its own power.

ANNOYED NOW

THE OMEGA HASNT GONE

HAD TO RELIST IT ON EBAY

HOPEFULLY I WONT LOOSE IT

Do it strip the omega?

Hmm.... considering it
