2004 Vauxhall Vectra Design 2.0 DTI Estate

Featured Replies

2004 Vauxhall Vectra Design DTI Estate.  Logbook shows 4 former keepers and we acquired the vehicle on 31/08/2013.

 

The car shows 201,820 miles on the Speedo however the actual mileage is 129,780 miles as the Speedo was changed at 122,619 miles.  We have kept the old Speedo and have written the changeover date and mileage on it.  The garage who we bought the car from changed the speedo over as it stopped working, they wrote a letter to confirm the work had been done.

 

The car is fitted with a Parrot MKI19200 Bluetooth kit so you can use your ‘phone hands free and also listen to you MP3 player or IPod.

 

The car has factory fitted cruise control and a 5 cd changer.  It has an alarm.  This all works.

 

The car has a service history however it is not a full Vauxhall service history.  The entries in the service book are as follows:

 

20/09/06, 39,475 by Vauxhall Winchester.

13/06/07, 50,031 by Premier Ford, Isle of Wight.

07/01/09, 68,754 by Vauxhall Bristol.

28/08/13 122, 385 by RB Cars, Churcham.

30/11/13 124,500 by myself.  (Full service with Millers Synthetic oils.)

 

I replaced all of the brake discs and pads on the car and there are receipts in the file for these.  The car has recently had new wiper blades front and back (receipts in file).

 

We replaced all of the springs on the car as we found three of them were broken (Receipt in file)

 

I cleaned the EGR valve as I had heard stories of them sticking (It was very black inside) so this all works correctly.

 

We put a set of four tyres on the car in April of this year and at the same time had the alloy wheels sandblasted back to bare metal and resprayed in the original silver colour.

 

The car has a set of HID lights fitted on the low beam.

 

These are the only repairs that we have had to carry out whilst we have had the car, it has been entirely reliable and has not let us down.

 

The car is not immaculate; it has been used as a family car and has a few scars to prove it.  The rear right hand bumper corner has been bumped and has some scrapes on it.  The front left had wing by the headlight has been bumped and has a dent in it.  The front bumper has been hit and ideally could do with replacing.  The front right headlight glass is going frosty and needs either machine polishing or replacing.   There are various other small dents and dings around the car from being parked in car parks and the rear left hand corner has been resprayed at some point (there is evidence of overspray in the wheel arch)

 

The car has no tax and is SORN.  The car does however have a full years MOT which is being finished today.  In order to pass it needed one of the headlamps refitting as it had unclipped itself from its housing and it required the rear brake calipers to be free'd off as they were sticking slightly.

 

We are asking £1200 ono for the car and the price reflects the damage and lack of tax.  We are looking for a quick sale so offers will be considered.
