What are these like to run day to day? Fancy something newer and been driving my girlfriends 2.2 auto Coupe occasionally and like the way it drives (...even with the auto box) but think it needs to be a bit quicker hence going for the Z'LET
Love the look of the 888 just not keen on the spoiler...also toyed with the idea of fitting the kit to a normal turbo but with the price of everything, even second hand, might as well buy a genuine one to start with.
Good cars or ones to avoid?
Most have been or are been broken
For the love of God, please read the rules
Not really much help but cheers anyway
Guess not.
Anyway, I like em.
Had a 2 myself. Tax is probably expensive now, and guess insurance isn't cheap.
At least there are a good selection of parts about.
Turbos fail, and the one I had needed a set of valve stem oil seals.
For the love of God, please read the rules
£45 a year dearer for road tax than my Mk3 GSi and shouldn't be too much more on insurance than I'm paying now. Not fussed about the mechanical side, got to be easier upkeep than a 20 year old Astra GTE as a daily driver
mk4 are 10-13 years old now too....
True but they seem to rust less than 10-13 year old mk2's did. Besides I'll still have the GTE waste money on
I have a coupe turbo and use it everyday and its nice to drive and live with but costly to run etc
but always puts a smile on my face
they are good cars if looked after my brother has one just sat in my dads garage its only got 32 on the clock loland he had some one offer him 15 grand for it the other week lol
Most 888 drivers seats have had it and replacing them is near impossible.
Thought i had found one in a breakers yard today, But unfortunately it was a customer who had parked in the wrong place.
Much disapointed
Noticed the seats on the 888's, just about all of them seem to have some wear on them. There's one on Autotrader and the drivers seat is fooked...still asking £4000 for it tho
