Default Got a chance to buy a Holden GTS

410bhp of Aussie muscle car.

The guy wants £15K for it, or will p/x my Vectra 3.2V6 GSi

Now the question is: Is it worth that much and what would you value the Vectra at (52 plate, 59K on the clock, full irmscher body kit, 12 months MOT, VERY good condition with all the toys)

The GTS has had some work done to it as well... the power is up on standard, new 245 tyres all round, full adjustable shocks... lovely looking car.

Not got the list on me but it is a VERY well maintained car.... decisions, decisions

He's wanting rid of a Cr@p car for a, errr, Cr@p car.

Take it or leave it. At the end of the day, your still driving a cr@p car anyway



Sorry. It's Friday and I'm bored.

I know I know - he had it up for sale and then changed HIS mind! To be honest it's the running costs, but sometimes... mmmmm.... V8.....

I'm also in the market for a Commodore GTS (preferably an R). If you don't go for it, let me know the details please.

Wow, even my XJ-S beats that...I get 17mpg or 20mpg if I stay below 70mph and don't drop below 50mph

Monaro is on my shortlist of cars to own. Need to sell some other stuff first though.
