A monkey!
The bloke plainly wasn't into your car judging from his opening comments. I sold a 1996 4.2 for 2000 quid, cash, earlier this year. I still know guys in the car trade and at least up here in Scotland the market is much firmer than you might expect. I hope you told him to blow his price out his arse! Ooopsy........just found page 2! Last edited by Simon Wallwork; 23rd April 2009 at 12:33 PM.

Grim news - I take back the 'I'm not selling' post and have to report .... that over the weekend after being offered £1500 I took the bait and sold her on. I know I know you will all want to set fire to my house now, but its 165k on the clock and counting, has had NO issues making me think I am in for one soon, needs a good service anc cambelt, neither of which I can afford to do right now for a car I don't use all the time since company car.. and as I am about to change jobs and pay for my own fuel, economically the time was right. Only a 2.8 but when you do 55k a year, filling up every other day it adds up.
Suffice to say enjoyed the time here, and will be back when I get the next one! (will look in now and then to see whats what no doubt!)

Right boys....
I'll cancel his account - Tony, bar him from the meets.. Now, wheres the matches ?  Shame to hear you've moved her on, and by the sounds of it, not replacing it either. £1500 is probably not a bad price right now in fairness, and it sounds like it made sense to move it on...

In a similar vein.. I did a crazy thing at the weekend and have bought meself a new motor
It's a D3  4.2Q SE with Sport suspension & seats, lots of toys and adaptive cruise (which really tipped it). Picking her up on Saturday, 53 plate with 36k on the clock. They offered me a grand for it which I thought was OK-ish for a trade in, but...Even better new is. I've presuaded the missus that it's more economically viable with the mileage she does to keep the D2 for her and punt her Vectra! Anyone want to buy one? 06 plate 1.8 design with 22k on the clock in Navy Blue

Two 8s.
 No that's just greedy. But rather cool as well. Will they both be at the meet?
