Just had a guy here this afternoon who spent an hour going over the G40 - decided on a price and shook on it - coming back on Sunday with cash for the car. Even got close to what I wanted for it!!

So I've got £5950 to spend on a VRS - dont know whether to spend the whole lot on the car - ot look for one closer to £5000 and buy a few mod parts (rear ARB and coilovers) - not bothered about a remap, yet. I'll get use to what i've got first then modify slowly!

Seen a couple of cheaper VRS on Autotrader inc this one:-

I know the stickers are a bit brash and the wheels are aweful - dont get me started on the lexus tail lights! Buts its got 70K on the clock on an 04 reg + its onlt £4390!!! Everything its just bolt on parts that can be removed - plus gives me more money left over for decent rims, new tail lights and a decent service.

There is a couple of others that ive looked at on the autotrader site - and i'll not give too much away as the last time i did that some else bought it!

pretty sure this one was on here somewhere before but you can probably sell those wheels quite easily

That souns like an ok deal.

Just rip all the tacky stuff off it and your onto a winner.

I'd go for a cheaper one and spend some money making it your own.

Thats what i did, am doing.

Can i ask where you are from?

And what the G40 looked like?

I'm from crieff (Crieff-G40 on Scottishvag - Polo6n1600i on clubpolo)

This is my G40

I recognise your car from scottishvag!

I've found a silver 04 plate with less than 40K on it for just shy of £5000 - quite tempted by this one!

(Crieff-G40 on Scottishvag I recognise your car from scottishvag!

Yeah, i know who you are now.

Was looking at the G40 for sale on SVAG is a minted wee motor.

Just had a guy call me up from Scottishvag - and he came down this afternoon and looked over the car - shook on £1950 for it. He's coming back on Sunday with the cash for it. May have found another forum member car forsale for a good price. Just depends on how far away he is!

The above pictured fabia has been on the market for quite some time now so you should be looking at less than its up for I would have thought...

i would beet him down...... remind him that moding a motor devalues it. You could get it for 4K I think.

Good luck beating him down (the silver modded one). I went to see it Thursday. I checked he was interested in my car before travelling, and he said yes. Then, when I got there, the screen price was £4995, and he would only part ex against the screen price... So it was a totally derisory offer given the 'trader price - he wanted my car (low milage FIAT Coupe 16v Turbo) and 4 grand. I never even drove it, I just went away again. I was really unhappy with him - what's the point in advertising something at one price, and then putting the price up when someone comes to look at it? It was on the trader 2 weeks ago at £4590, so he's reduced the 'trader price anyway. As far as the car goes, I liked the wheels, but hated the stickers. And there's no service history either.

I got a far better offer, so I'm collecting a different one on Tuesday.

buyers market at the mo, if u got the dolla ready, its really your market.

Cheers for the heads up - a member on here has offered me his 80K one for a good price. Its the right colour too - but he is hundreds of miles away and its a bit difficult for me to get a look at it before buying. I'll be looking around a few once I actually have the ££££ for my G40 and have my full budget inhand!

See what happens from there!

Does it have to be Silver?
