Since buying a car seams to be in vogue at the moment i have purchased my self a new car. Unfortunately the rules set out by the missus ruled out most of the liberties that are for sale. So I got a very nice 2001 Holden Vectra that has done 66k. I still has a perky 2.2l motor. And another rule set down by the missus was that it has to remain stock

(there goes my fun) . Now I have to get rid of one of my toys

HMMM lose a turbo convertible or a Lifted L series.... Decisions, decisions, And the looser is the Turbo convertible.

I like my L a lot better. So the Capri will be up for sale in the next week or so.

Yeh red with white mags. I'm looking at the $4k mark. For details it is an 89 turbo, 160k on the clock. new roof, neat condition. also have a matching hard top for an extra grand. Got to do a few things first before sale time.

As for the car we needed a decent car, and we have a 3 year extensive warranty on it. so if it brakes they fix it hehe.

A car that I cant play with. and one she can drive.

there never was any question as to which car was going. The L is in for some major TLC. Timing belt, oil seals, wheel bearings, cv shaft, brakes, etc... so it shall be sweet when it gets back

it hasn't been a project car for a while. haven't had the funds to do any thing to it. as for not doing the work, its easier and a better job will be done by a mechanic.

Hey Lapsed, De je ve!!!! I just bought a 2000 Vectra 5 door hatch, navy blue, alloys, manual 2.0 GL for the missus 2x weeks ago.
This is part of the reason why my Turbo L-Series is for sale.

I've noticed on here that if it happens to one person it will happen to several others.
