2004 Black VX220 Turbo - 55k miles - No modifications - MOT until March

I've been the proud owner of Darth Vader's Codpiece since 2012 and put less that 5000 miles on it. Sadly my girlfriend no longer finds it as amusing as she once did, so I'm looking to sell.

Two owners from new, only Vauxhall and Lotus (Morland Jones) servicing. Full history with all receipts available.

Recently replaced the header tank and added a new solar trickle charger as I'm not using it as much as I used to. Replaced the stereo and speakers in 2014.

Timing belt, spark plugs, brake fluid and air filter all replaced in 2014 during 8th service at 53k miles.

There's some bubbling on the driver's side sill and cracking on the passenger side sill. Photos available on request. The exterior looks good with the exception of few small scratches. The right front grill is also indented (see second pic below)

HPI clear and CAT free.

Priced at £8000 but PM me and we can discuss.

The car is in central London but I'll be in Edinburgh from Friday 19th until the end of August.

That shouldn't hang around long at that price, mileage, history and being non-Cat. Good luck with the sale.

They must have paid up to be able to post a for sale ad in the car section.

They have however gone very quiet. Strange for someone selling a car.

I'm new on this site, wanting to buy a VX220, but I'm thinking this is a wind up as if I were trying to sell a car I would be responding immediately to any and all interest.!!! Or am I being too harsh?

No....I agree with you. However one possibility is the seller might have realised he under-valued and has gone quiet....only to resurface and re-list at a higher price in the future. He'll have been inundated with offers of the asking price if this is genuine.
