This yellow VX220 Turbo has to be the best, cleanest, lowest mileage VX220 Turbo on the planet. It is a totally standard car in every way possible. This car was first registered on 28.07.2006 which is one of the very last VX Turbos to be sold in the UK. The car has spent all of its life locked away in a garage only ever coming out for the very occasional sunny summer Sundays for very careful drives. As you can see by the pictures there is not a mark on the car anywhere at all and what your paying for is in essence a brand new VX 220 Turbo which has only done 1600 miles since the day it was born. The car has 12 months MOT and 6 months TAX so it is totally ready for you to enjoy the up and coming bank holidays and sunny summer weather. For more information on this car and to arrange your viewing please contact me on 07980 569333 Go on its going to be a great summer so why not treat yourself..... for pics please click or copy this link http://www.pistonhea...les/2708204.htm Thanks for looking

At last it's reached a more realistic price! I remember when it was up for £21k Posted Image.

To be honest though I think that low mileage might scare a few people off, average of under 400 miles a year? Lots of bits may (or may not) need replacing.

Not trying to sound like an arse hole, just expressing my personal concerns if I were looking to buy a VXT and it would not surprise me if others feel the same; hence it has been for sale for about a year or more altogether...

Beautifull car, unfortunately it's well out of my price range!

No it's a six year old car (last build was 2005)that will need a major overhaul of the brakes and new tyres to make it safe.

And still no mention in the posts above of when its been serviced. 5 year old fluids??? I'd personally rather have a car that's been used and regularly and properly serviced. But good luck to the owner (Rob333?).

MESSAGE TO ALL DEALERS

I would like to thank all the dealers who took the time to contact me in the hope of stealing this car from me at anything between £14,500.00 and £15,500.00

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bother waisting your time or mine by contacting me with silly trade bids as I am not in the need of a fast sale and if the car does not go I will simply enjoy it myself this summer.

Cheers

IMHO if a dealer offered £15.5k you should have taken the money and walked (or run) away. Until you answer questions about service history, state of tyres etc you might well have to lower the price again. Just my 2p. thumbsup

Is this the car that was on Pistonheads for 21k ish and was previously owned by a guy near Stirling? If it is, we looked at it a couple of years ago before it went up for sale (and had like 361 miles on it at the time..) We bought his other car, a Red 2000 Y reg N/A with 6,500 on the clock. Walking into his garage was a pretty impressive site with the bright yellow VX next to his wifes orange Audi TT shining just as much, and the red VX in what we could only describe as a car conservatory (or giant hotwheels box!)

Hi Chris,

Yes it is that car and it was sat next to a mint DB9 when i went up to look at it and eventually purchased it, The guy said all the miles went on the red one which it looks like you purchased from him. As a result this car had very few miles on it

he seemed like a realy nice genuine guy and was sorry to see this yellow one go
