VA 03 OOG has reappeared for sale on ebay and i just want to urge anyone who may be interested to carry out every possible check they can think of before parting with any cash, just in case

basically its a silver 3.2 elite that has been up for sale very near me many many times, and even though initially very cooperative, the buyer (who i'm aware had been contacted previously by other members of the forum), refused to give out any relevant details for potential buyers to use to check its MOT history as it has no service history

it disappeared after a few failed sales and has now appeared via a different seller who appears to have better feedback for selling cars

whether or not this new seller is connected, or even aware of the car's possible dodgy history, no one knows

i'm not saying its not even worth buying but just ensuring people make checks where necessary :y

it appears to have had an engine swap ..... ONLY 67,000 MLS (MINIMAL FOR A STRONG DIESEL VAUXHALL ENGINE)  ::)  ::)  ::)

coorected at the bottom of the ad ... shows how much the seller knows of the car that he/she could've made a mistake like that in the first place.  ;D

Nice car, seems a tad expensive though...

and it is/was apparently a petrol burning diesel .... or was it a diesel burning petrol ?? still not certain .. just like the seller .. :)

Mind you .. I wonder how much power and torque a 3.2 V6 diesel would actually produce ... and then add a turbo .....  and then ...... [wake up you fool ..:)  ]

:)

"Sat-Nav ready"..... ::)

......that`s like me saying that I am "Lottery-win ready!" ;D

Vauxhall made a V6 3.0 cdti engine for the Vectra and Signum,it had 182bhp and 295 lb/ft of torque so it might work  ::)

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0 V6 Diesel.  It was 215bhp and 376lb-ft.  It felt indecently quick for the size it was!
