this car.

honest opinions please.

 

Hard to say without the history behind the engine replacement. The tag on the key rings alarm bells for me.

 

also, what is with the drivers mat at one hell of an angle. If they can't even be bothered to sort that out for a photo, then, sheesh. Or is it covering something up?

 

think its 33k origional miles.

the td05 comment is rubbish, will need mapping for a td05 and realy for the front mount. 97's arn't mapable so new ecu required.

personaly i would't, for the money it will cost you will be better ready to go cars

 

Could be, but I woudn't say "engine only done 33,000 miles" if it wasn't a replacement engine and the whole car had done 33k.

 

so that means that the car isn't mapped. and because there is a fmic, there is also going to be an induction kit, which the car hasn't been mapped to, for all the op nows, the car could blow up the next day after buying it.

 

so it could be one to avoid?

 

checks show 8 formers keepers......

 

Go see it and drive it then make up your own mind. Looks ok for the money and im sure a better deal can be done.

 

bit difficult to test drive, i'm in Germany, and would only be going back to the UK if 100% sure on one that i wanna look at/buy i'd like to be very certain before travelling back.

 

Well its low mirage and a limited edition car. Has 12 months MOT so the engine should be ok or it would have failed emission test you would think. Interior looks a little tired but as i said "for the money".

 

you present a fair point

 

Rather go and have a look at this: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1734121.htm

 

i'd love that Scooby, but i don't think i'd get 4k for my Astra, ideally i'd like a straight swap, but i don't think that is going to happen .

 

Nah, its an average/high mileage car with an engine thats done 33k. If it had done only 33k he'd have decent pictures with all the history.

8 owners and 33k miles? absolutely no way.

 

It's also got the wrong interior Bit of an oddball that one and I'd avoid it.

 

i don't know what the 'right' interior is for a tenzo

 

I may be wrong about the interior, I don't remember my mates having that interior and I'm struggling to find photos.

 

okies, if you find a pic, please let me know

 

Interior seems right, the "engine done 33k" means its probably done 160k in total and its a replacement engine out of something.
Leave things like this well alone tbh.

cheers Tony, its looking like i may be leaving all Scoobies, insurance seems to be a hard thing to find in Germany for one.

 

See if you can PM Wurzel, he works/lives out in Germany and may be able to give you some pointers about who to go to etc.

Tony

 

thank you i'll do that after playing Black Ops :-)

 

Turdo's aren't worth that.

 

lol, fair one

 

I have a Terzo same interior on mine and mine is factory

 

Bargain....

To good to be true??

 

There is no possible way that is a straight car.

As for the Tezo - if I were travelling from Germany I wouldn't risk coming away empty handed with that. Its not standard, its one of the least wanted limited editions - the total mileage has been omitted on purpose and its very dirty inside - plus as noticed above, its got a tag on the key ala' trader trrying to knock out an unwanted trade-in.

This would be my choice of what is on offer at the moment.

Good advert, low miles, low owners. Only thing I don't like is the tow bar.

I am really very tempted to buy it myself

 

don't forget to take a nice big wadge of 9 bob notes with you to pay for it

 

Sorry fella's but this one mine, collecting it next Wednesday
