white gsi on ebay for 7000stg

[s14a]

i was browsing through the bay and found this... i duno what to think, the price must be a joke???
the car would interest me if firstly the price was a joke but apart from that
the history and seamingly perfect bodywork looks great but theres a few things that ruin it for me, the wheels, stickers etc really take away from it and lastly the engine bay, while im sure it was a good idea to cover it in anti rust crap is looks awfull and you cant see any seam lines to get a idea of just how mint it is, if he wants mad money for it he shouldv took it off and left it concours for added wow facter...

the person that will pay the money for that car will want it as it left the showroom and while it isnt hard to change it back for that money it would want to be ready to roll in2 the shed..

these are just my opions so what do yas think?
any1 know the car?

Got a link mate?

[Paul]

Mega overpriced!

[calibra-keith]

hows that -
One of the last standard untampered GSI's about.

he has got more modifications than i have lol , looks clean like but 7k just a bit to much.

[s14a]

ye for sure, i wouldnt even pay half that, mayby its just a price he put up 4 the lol lol

[L33 LEG]

surely if he is trying to see its a perfect example of a unmodified nova, then why has he put fcukin venoms on lol

the mods are all wrong, the mileage is too high, didnt check the pics but sounds like hes sprayed that stuff in the bay to hide some rust.

i value it at £1500. put it completely standard, prove that its been dry stored and then maybe, just maybe itl fetch a few thousand above that

[Jack]

FOR FCUKS SAKE :mad:


One of the last standard untampered GSI's about

...halfway down the page...


K&N Air filter

Custom built Scorpion Stainless Steel Exhaust (from front pipe back)

Head, Inlet Manifold & Throttle Body polished and ported to remove rough casting for better air flow (swarf that was removed I have in a bag) The original valves have been machined to become radia valves to improve air intake to the bore.

...

The sound system is amazing, it incorporates a Kenwood Mask head unit

Front and rear speakers are Infinity Kappa imported from the USA.

Front are 5 inch two way speakers with separate tweeters above.

Rear are 6 X 9 inch two way.

Denon Amp in the boot

The vehicle has been Dinomatted for sound proofing.
...

The wheels are TSW Venoms 15 X 7

I have renewed the original rubber brake hoses for Goodrich brided brake hoses

Rear light lenses have been replaced for legal clear

...

Lowered by 20mm using Spax sports suspension kit, changing the dampers and springs

How is that standard?!

£7k is an absolute joke tbh. The seller has already proven himself to be a liar on two counts - says its standard, then lists a page of mods; its also untaxed (Ok, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he'll put 6 months on at time of sale) - it makes you wonder what else he is lying about. HPi? Mileage? Repairs? Dry stored? Probably all complete bullsh!t.

[edit] Hmm, there's a "report listing" link at the bottom. Wonder if I could get it removed for being misadvertised as "standard" when its clearly not lol

[belly257]

price is abit steep like, does look clean though

[7ova]

he's gone over the top just abit on telling you about the car

if he had not said standard/untampered :eek:
and the price was near 2K maybe 2.5k
and fitted a set of nova three spoke alloys
back on it, got rid of all the speakers and got some
uncut door cards and parcel shelf
he would probably sell no problem

but he is asking just about what the car sold
for when it came out of a vauxhall show room.

[Ash]

The 'sound system' has me in stitches lol

Denon amp in the boot - Right, so that a home hi-fi amp then.....

Dinomatted - lmao Dynamat you muppet.

...and why import a **** set of speakers from the USA when you can buy them for £20 on 'bay!!

I agree with the brake lines and engine work and some sort of suspenion ie. Bilstien shocks ala Sports, as they're so on needed and/or stealthy, but the rest is bolx. Why two GSi badges on the front (grill one has been moved too...)

Wouldn't pay more that £1000 on a very good day for that.

[General Baxter]

hes from wales, says it all really lol

ill offer him a sheep :p

[calibra-keith]

[Jack]

Has a side pinstrip too, I didn't think GSi's had that...?

[wilson_sri]

Has a side pinstrip too, I didn't think GSi's had that...?
I dont think they did either, never seen another one with it. I think it looks good though.

[krobinson]

Looks like a shed to be honest, I wouldnt pay £1500 for it.

[Adam]

Engine bay is a right mess.

[brainsnova]

i think the boy got put in a cocoon and thinks the car is 6 months old from new lol

[peester]

ooho the engine bay mings...
i cant believe hes getting £3k so far for it..
luck git.

[Jack]

£3k! :eek: That was about £1000 an hour ago...

[wilson_sri]

£3k and the reserve still isnt met!! Il be keeping my eye on this, be interesting to see how it turns out.

[Rick Draper]

It looks like someone has smeared a turd all over the engine bay lol.

O and the rear arches also look to have been trimmed a little.

[brainsnova]

his mates will be bidding on it for him and i bet the pin stripe is covering a paint join

[matt_vaughan]

his mates will be bidding on it for him and i bet the pin stripe is covering a paint join
I have that pin stripe on my luxe.........hhhmmmmmm

Would be pretty amuzing if it turned out it wasnt even a proper GSI

[turbodrew1]

that engine bay discusts me!! why would you spray that everywhere?! probably doin more harm than good! i'm sure i bought a tin of that from the joke shop in my town when i was at school many moons ago. back then it was known as sh1t in a can. about the same time stink bombs were popular!!

[~~joycey~~]

Ewww venoms lol

[s14a]

[Philsutton]

[Andy]

Anyone who pays the asking price for that is on drugs.Untampered,whatever.
These listings are getting worse.

[b18svx]

[7ova]

[s14a]

[L14MNP]

Bets on being raped with fees for listing at a smacked up price?

[Dod]

I'm going to bid on it.

[Spudly]

Would be pretty amuzing if it turned out it wasnt even a proper GSI



www.askmid.com (http://www.askmid.com) says:
Make/Model: Vauxhall/Nova
Type: Other


Surely if it were gen it would say model GSi??



*EDIT*
DVLA based look-up at work says GSi, so its a real one then!

[liam944nova]

the engine bay doesnt look very clean either what a ****

[Ben]

If you can wash the goo of the engine bay with warm water why hasnt he done it???

I know from many experiences with it, that ****e is a ****ing nightmare to get off.

Put it back to standard for £150 and you will get more money for it.

[Adam]

Exactly/\

That looks like waxoyl/underseal to me, which takes hours to remove by scraping/melting/wiping with meths/petrol etc etc.

[hybridturbo]

Nice :D

[guesty90]

yes im not the only 1 who seen this up 4 mad money yh its a nice car but not 4 7k the wheels ruin it i think n the gay stikers
