[color=rgb(40,40,40);]Mandarin VXT Stage 4 with Big Spec [/color]

 

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]Many of you know this lovely VXT from the previous owner's travels. It has had lots of money spent on it to make it a very desirable car. [/color][/font]

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]There is not much more can be spent on it as you will see from the list of mods below. Even the flaky OEM alarm has been replaced. [/color][/font]

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]The car has an excellent soft top and matching hard top. It was treated to a new battery in March as the old one couldn't cope with the last throes of winter. [/color][/font]

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]The paint is in excellent condition and there are only a few stone chips. Another bad point is the split on the inside of the driver's side sill covering.[/color][/font]

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]The car is unbelievably quick - it goes and stops extremely well. [/color][/font]

[font="calibri, sans-serif;"][color=rgb(40,40,40);]If you are looking for a modified turbo, this is the car for you. [/color][/font]

[fiveoclock]

Lets get it out of the way in one hit..............Its too cheap, its too expensive, its the right price, good luck with the sale, dont sell it, you'll regret it, what are you getting to replace it, will you sell any of the upgrades seperately, whats the 0 to 60 time, will it beat my mates Evo, S2000, M3, M5, M4, M6, 1M, Scooby, Exige, Evora, 911, SL55, SL65, RS4, RS6, Clio Cup,

I agree! But it's priced to sell before I change my mind!    

[Gedi]

Fantastic price!

It's worth that in standard form. With £10k+ of improvements it's an absolute steal. Good luck with the sale

I think you have priced it sensibly like you say. FYI I sold my stage 4 3 months ago for around 2k less than yours and had a similar spec.

Are you looking for a slightly less aggressive VXT? Talking to you at the Nationals it seemed like you may be up for a swap??

I might consider a part exchange, although I favour a clean NA or perhaps a mild SC.

[Jason]

Please also bear in mind its slower than an Astra Turbo....
