Hi, this is my 1st post so hi to anyone who reads this. I've never signed up to a forum before but thought I should do as I'm on the hunt for something I don't know alot about. I have upto 10k to spend on a VX. Should I be going for a turbo or n/a? Maybe 10k is not enough for a Turbo??? Also I'm based in Frimley Surrey and would love to meet a current owner to show me round one and give me some buying advice.

You can get a turbo for 10 Or have a cat d , c Vxt

Wouldn't want one that has had any major crashwork done. Also not looking for one that has been majorly modded, std if poss.

[Zoobeef]

Plenty of people down that way. You should be able to get either for £10k

[Seb.F]

Shame you're not looking for modded as mine would have given you a great base to start from.

Welcome to the forum. Have a good read of the forum as there is plenty of topics on n/a and turbo models, also might be worth trying to find a local member who is willing to show you around their car and take you for a drive. With either car i'm sure you wont be disappointed

You might be lucky in finding a "good" Vxt for 10k but personally I think you're need to up your budget slightly for a good turbo.

There is a pistonheads meet at beaulieu on the 23rd of february, about 5 or so VX's going, pop along if you can make it and i'm sure you'll get a ride in one and a chance to have a look over some and talk to the owners.

[MrGman]

^^^^ make that the 24th

5o's one sold for around or under 10k. That was near mint with everything done like belts and call backs.

What mods has yours got?
It seems that most I've seen have been modified in some way or another. I just worry a bit about whether the work has been carried out to a high standard.

As above - nothing that's over the top, just refinements really plus a few replacement parts. Just had a new battery, lambda blank, ABS plug arrive and have sorted out the undertray/diffuser bracket with some bolts, just waiting for the snow to clear to pop them all on.

Sorry for the awkward looking post, doing it from my new phone, I'm still getting used to it :-D

[woozee]

Have checked out both and really like the red one so am just waiting to hear back if it's still for sale.

He sent me pics of the interior and it looks gorg. Carbon centre console and door panels and what looks like dash inserts /panels.

'woozee', that's a pretty apt name for a turbo owner
