New price £14,350

<A bargain now>

[jimbob]

anyone with a good motorbike out there?

[jimbob]

Motorbike situation sorted out now so looking for a straight sale

[TurboTomato]

My old car! Can highly recommend it, I looked after it very well, and I'm sure jim has as well. Good luck with the sale

[p4cks]

Can't believe this is still for sale... Is it? I can also vouch for the condition of this car, it's immaculate! I've since inherited the (vast amount of)cleaning products that Jimbob has used on this. Good luck Jim!

[NOBLE]

Mate I will be so sad to see you leave the fold For the rest of you looking. This is one of the best Turbo examples in the North East of England. Jim looks after it very well. Good price and good spec. Good luck with the sale my friend. When we do NE meets you always welcome of a pax in my car - Noble

[jimbob]

Thank you chaps!

[jimbob]

open to sensible offers in the region of the asking price

That's a friggin bargain! What's wrong with these people?

[jimbob]

Just to respond to some recent questions. The car has: 5mm tread front left / 4mm back Stone chips but so does every other VX (they all do that)! Some scratches - 3 that are noticeable if you look hard Wheels - some kerbing and pitting (to front). All of these issues can be sorted out very easily and provide good bargaining points for negotiation! The overall condition of the car is 8.5 out of 10. Having seen around 30 other vx's this car benchmarks very well and looks superb, as you can see from the previous comments. It also goes like stink with no mechanical faults noted. The inside is very clean because I have looked after it. Someone is going to get a bargain - cheapest '04 plate car around I reckon.

[ciderbooze]

jimbob as much as i would like to take this off your hands (i fancy a trip to the darkside ) i just dont have the money available right now, unless you will take an na in the best colour available as part ex . somehow i dont think this will still be forsale when i am in the position to buy (few months yet). so have a free bump from a fellow ne vx and good luck with the sale .

That's a friggin bargain! What's wrong with these people?

I'm looking at NA's at the moment as I'd decided that a NA would be ideal for me but this car is calling me......
What do you recon guys ?
Been back on confused .com and with increased purchase cost I recon Jimbobs lovely motor would cost me about an extra £450 a year to run?
MmmmHHH Turbo

Where abouts are you Jimbob (?from Pistonheads I recon a long way from Peterborough )

Paul.
