Post by: tubbybear57 on 22 August 2011, 12:28

Hi all im new to this forum i currently drive a vauxhall vectra (sorry for using this language) but have been offered a swap with a mate for a mk3 2.0 gti 8v with 180,000 on clock and has been looked after. Do you guys think i should steer clear or investigate it more?lol

Thanks,
Gav

Well, with those miles it is not worth very much at all.

Give it a good going over and check for rust before you commit to anything, how much tax and test does it have? That'd be the decider for me, a decent length of MOT and a few months tax and I'd go for it.

I'd swap a vectra for anything including sweeties and cake.
