Id steer clear and get one that works especially if it has not been run for a year. it could tourn out to be more expensive than spending a bit more on a car thats running sweet. but thats only my preference. someone else my have a different answer but think its best left alone.

as above i also think mate, could cost you a whole lot more than just bolting a turbo on. the engine could well be shafted. plenty out there mate

Hi Daz

There are shed loads scoobs about, best shift your Vectra can go looking with a bag full of cash. Hunt around and do not buy the first you see, see a few and drive a few first.

Service history is everything (well almost, a heavily tracked car is a no-no) it does not need to be a main dealer service history either but is should come with a wadge of receitps for all of them and any enthusiast will keep them.

I would imagine there will be a lot more coming onto the market with the credit crunch and cost of fuel. watch out for unloved and poorly maintained cars tarted up for sale.
