Thanks

 

Okay thanks mate, never did get back to me regards your offer by PM for it ??

pictures off interior ?? - same as any other blob mate apart from the addition off the brand new carbon A pillars and the black flocked centre compartment lid/ blue subaru seat protector covers and blue F/B sti logo harness pads.

did you sell your VXR on ebay ?? interested in making the trip north for a viewing ??

 

No mate I still have it and I'm fed up with people on eBay offering me a £500 fiesta and a half eaten packet of peanuts for it!
And might be up for a road trip!
And I will reply to your pm.

 

Okay no probs mate going to have to leave it regards an exchange for your vxr, lovely cars but to be perfectly honest be warned against them purely for the fact that a lot off them end up costing the owner loads in large repair bills , this advice was given by astra vxr owners themselves !! pity as I think your car looks great with an excellent spec.

but yep if you sell it please do have a trip up for a viewing, dont think you will be dissapointed !!

 

will sell for £6000 without plate, lovely low mileage fsh blobeye at a sensible price.

 

New years back to the top !!

 

Okay pre ebay listing BTTT

again in my personal view the first serious viewer will buy this car, yep its slightly more expensive than some others but very low mileage, genuine full service history with every receipt from new and has the addition off some lovely additional extras fitted.

save me the ebay hassle- £5900 without plate.

 

Good luck getting shot of it on ebay...or should i say flea bay as you'll be lucly to get half of the £5900 asking price. I have owned a FSH prodrive 55 plate Blob (WRX) and i got it six months ago (the worst time to buy a car) for just a shade over £5k. As nice as your motor is (and you've done a great job) you may be struggling to break the £5k - £5.5k in my eyes.

Why don't you give Lichfields a call and see if they will sell it for you? My mate has just done that with his two year old GTR, they list it on their site and pistonheads. Good luck pal, Shaun

 

No probs mate appreciatte what you are saying but would deffinattly keep it rather than let it go for 5k, what mileage was on your 55 plate ?? you say 5.5k max, again I know I am asking at the upper level for a wrx blob but I feel sure that a genuine buyer will not mind paying just £500 extra for a lower mileage fsh model .. I know I would !!

p.s Up here in Fife, scotland so the Lichfields idea is not an option, to be perfectly honest just fancy a change but if it does not sell will be getting a remap within the next few months and enjoy the car even more !!

again appreciatte your input.

 

Mine was only 56k miles with fssh and cam belt changed at 50k.

 

thats complete waffle tbh mate, 3 of my mates have vxr astras and they've had no trouble with them, they're good cars if looked after and serviced as they should be. They're fast, look good, sound good and drive very comfortably even on 19" alloys.

The only fault i know of with the vxr's is the tappets collapsing.

Other than that they're very good motors.

 

Okay no probs not really looking for a discussion on Astra vxr`s mate !! regards your quote "thats complete waffle tbh mate " I am only going what I have read on here , read on vxronline and a few other vauxhall related forums from vxr owners where a lot off owners have freely admitted the gearbox on the astra vxr amongst other things is a major weakness off this model but am aware that all cars have there probs including the impreza which did not put me off buying one I might add !! regards the 19" alloys being a comfortable ride thats exactly what I kept reading that was not recommended other than just for looks and that 18" were much better !! anyway again appreciatte your advice but would appreciatte if this for sale thread did not just turn into a large discussion !!

 

for anyone local looking for a mint very low mileage FSH wrx its seriously worth a look.

 

£5500

 

Guess its off to join the rat race on ebay / pistonheads !!

 

nice car mate.

thinking of looking for a blob eye soon for my classic type R

glwts

 

Cheers mate, well if its still for sale when your type R is away then well worth the trip thru to fife for a viewing !! may even offer an additinal ss.net discount on top off this £5500 price !! be nice to keep the colin mcrae plate north off the border as well !!

 

would you consider a part ex?

 

Not really mate but at least give me a clue with what for ??!!

now on ebay and already had the exchange for corsa / will offer £1000 less etc,etc etc !!

 

Have you put it on other enthusiast sites? Most people here probably own a scooby so are not looking but owners of other marques may be looking to change / upgrade.

 

sorry i have a Seat Ibiza Cupra 54 plate.
It is a stage 2 so running around 230-240.
If you want more detail just let me know.

Thanks
David

 

To be honest mate I think the market is just so bad just now it boils down to pure luck when selling a scooby, for what they sell for there is actually very little you can buy in comparison.

will see how I get on with the ebay classifieds
