looking at a gsi

[wisewood]

Going to look at a red H plate GSi later tonight.

tidy bodywork, 7mnth MOT, no tax, alloys, stainless exhaust, k&n - ?595

phoned the guy he said suspension and brakes need a little attention so he will knock 200 quid off if i want it. :lol:

OK!!

[Dpnova]

sounds good,

[Dave]

tempted back to the griffin then andy??!

[wisewood]

its actually gonna be the missus' car but since the clio is officially "ours" :lol: the gsi can be "ours" too. As far as i am concerned anyway lol.

as long as i get a go from time to timei will be happy.
will be useful for driving back n forth on motorways etc as the 1.2 clio isnt much cop at high speeds really.

[Will]

he will knock 200 off the 595 price for suspension and brakes that need attention?

erm 16v set up ?70 approx

good lowering kit ?200

so for ?650 you could have a quality GSI :D

get in, take pics tho i wna see thats a good price, wots the mileage?

[wisewood]

dunno about mileage, didnt ask him - he sounded a bit thick :lol:

will just give car a good look over in all the usual trouble spots (i been here long enough to know what they are) and as long as the engine sounds alright etc it'll do.

Not really bothered about mileage as long as its been reasonbly looked after it dont really matter anyway - vauxhall engine so hard as nails :D Not like some other stuff, french cars for example lol.

[let turbo]

Hayup guys sounds like a good deal that wisewood if its in good nick you should go for it buddy

[Fester]

if the bodywork and interior are pretty straight and sorted then go for it

at your age (haha) insurance wont be a prob

[wisewood]

lmfao - the other half already got a quote for fully comp insurance of 250 quid.

:lol:

[Will]

she drives a 1.2 now yer i bet she pays around 250 on that neway, lmfao

so its like a free upgrade to double the hp :D

[wisewood]

well yeah > except its costing 600 quid :lol:

[Will]

with 200 knocked off? or is the 600 price with the 200 knocked off already?

will

[Ben]

Mileage on a 14 year old car aint worth worrying about. makes me laugh when people moan on about it.

[Anton]

take some piccies woody.

I agree with ben, base it all on condition not miles. Miles only makes a difference on new cars.

[locky]

100 k miles aint alot nemore neway!
Tolerances on engines, machinery nowadays, better build quality e.t.c than 50 yrs ago!!!!!
Its a GSI its bound 2 av been raced a few times lol!
Ther easy 2 work on neway!
Go 4 it m8! price is a goodun!!!!!

[Mark]

Hhmmmnnn - ?595 and willing to drop ?200 before you have even looked at it...Check the paperwork WELL, poss even get a HPI done if you intend to keep it for yourself...Mileage means nothing, my car has gone through 3 sets of clocks and is currently showing 96,000 on a 4,000 mile engine, 500 mile running gear etc etc..

[Tilly]

what happend with all the big plans of your misses having a Honda Civic Typer R??????? Then there was another new car now a ?600 gsi hmmmmmm odd

[Ian]

miaow

[jkhilton]

it definately sounds very dodgy to me, anyone that tells you over the phone that he will knock ?200 off, when it is already pretty cheap, has got to be upto something!!!

Either he has some big debts and needs to clear them or he has nicked the car from someone.


If it is legit, you are a lucky git!!! lol

[dave.gsi]

her financial obligations changed, she was going to buy a type R, but then decided the money could be better spent on other things. I agree too.

In a few years time maybe she will look at getting a brand new car - but for now something cheaper is the best idea. Brand new car means losing thousands almost over night, that sorta money lost over three eyars would buy 3 or 4 nova gsi's - and there are more important things in life than the car you drive to be honest.

The gsi we looked at was a right munter tho :lol:
engine is absolutely mint - but the rest of it really lets it down unfortunately.
