Hi Guys and Gals,

 

Im new to the forum and the world of the VX220,

 

I have just been and viewed the car i am interested in and it looked great apart from some faults that i have spotted while there!

 

minor paint chips on bonnet and wheel arch (Pea size)

 

water inside the car from roof/seal

 

heater dial hard to turn for the temperature

 

drivers window mechanism broken

 

limited if any history!

 

The car is showing 12000 miles and is a 2002 model

the car is priced at around 10000 from the dealer but i can get the car for 6000 direct!

 

I will try and add some images now so you guys can see it and please let me know what you think.

10000 down to 6000, thats some reduction. I've got a window regulator if you do buy it.

the owner is a family friend... but had to view it at the showroom where it is for sale :/

More photos... do you guys think its a good buy?

 

Thanks

Bargain at £6000 nice looking car I would buy it

[Wolfstone]

Fuse box cover is missing.  I'd make sure all the electrics are OK in case water has affected the fuses and connectors.  £10k seems overpriced as it looks like it's had a hard 12,000 miles!  £6k would sound like a bargain assuming its otherwise clean(ish).

That's a Dave the Trimmer retrim, car likely has some forum history.

[sharpz1984]

Thanks for he feedback guys... could do with making a decision on it asap if its a good buy as it has only recently been put up for sale!

 

if there is forum history that would be great! any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

cheers

Ask yourself why, if its really done only 12000 miles, there is no history

Whats the reg number?

[Wolfstone]

Have you got the registration?  Or build number?

[Wolfstone]

That dealer has some nice cars on his books, including, apparently, several Veyrons!

Simple. Lots of owners. I don't think it's suspicious. These cars tend to change hands a lot and in the process history may get lost.

just getting the reg of my uncle now as its a ¨toy¨ of his friends as he hardly used it he has a few ¨toys¨

Good looking car, If the wheels go round, its a bargain for £6000., The item you listed as faults are normal no cost options with 90% of VX's

You would pay more than that for a crashed one to repair.

If there has been lots of owners there should be lots of history, I've never lost the history of any car I've owned. History gets "lost" for a reason. Cheap at £6k though if it stands up to an inspection

that looks like it's had quite a hard life if it's only done 12k 

[adamvx220]

Just check on the dvla website with the v5 reference number and reg u can see all old mots to check the mileage and if all legit id be buying :-)
