Yep its dobbyhad a great chat with kev and cheryl, exchanged total Vauxhall feature stories and cavalier tales lmao and his cav turbo was there looking very sexy. This vectra really has had everything it ever needed, got packets and packets of main dealer Vauxhall receipts, its been a no expensie spared car
sounds alot of people were after it too, including our very own tom williams
too true , every car kev and cherly has gets snapped up quickly , maybe because people know they are looked after and they are vauxhall nutters lmao
not bought one of him myself (yet) but i did sell him my old v6 cavalier which ended up also in Ireland , was very tempted to buy it back when it was for sale but the cost of fetching it back from over there was not within my budget at the time , but was tempted ut too many cars you have to say do i need another
Drives - Phase 2 Cavalier Turbo, Vectra SRi 2.2 DTi, Zafira 1.8

2 nice cars.. Shame Cav Gone.. But Hey Onwards and Upwards
Yep the early one did unfortunatly did break down and had to be brought all the way back from near the blokes house on a recovery trucklmao
got to say i love that pre faceift one its proper nice like. if i had the money i would of bought that. proper nice like. facelift is also nice but tbh i like the look of the earlier one better but each to there own will be subscribing to the new thread for definate
with the end of the cav thread..........................
...............................here is the vectra thread
Ronnie's New Family Car - Vectra Gsi Estate
he irish government want 720 euro's to change the cavalier onto irish reg. such a disgrace of a country i live in. ragin !!!
Nothing new in that though. TBH €720 is pretty much the minimum so your lucky they didn't ask for more.
Im sure it will be fun with the NCT doing the VRT checks
its ****ty, its booked in next monday for nct inspection. the cavalier will be standing me 4400 yo yo's when cleared. i dunno can i justify that and another 18k in the cossie sitting outside and wont even do 4k miles between them for the year. i thought vrt would only be half of what they are asking.
You should have checked it first mate, takes about 2 minutes on ros.ie
€720 is the minimum for old stuff though since they dont have a co2 per km figure from the factory they automatically put it in at the 36% rate
wow thats alot mate :O are you allowed to sell the uk private plate? you could regain a bit there perhaps?
dont know about the plate, ah im over the shock of it now its the thought of giving our government 720 euro thats the real bugger. the car is worth it. but the irish government does not deserve any more money outta my pocket i can tell ya !!!
Yea someone already sent me the link the other day
the car cost me 2500 sterling which at the time cost 3150 euro and i paid 450 to get it shipped back from the uk. i have also got power steering belt tightened as was squealing and few other bits done. thats 3600 euro spent and for sale for 4250. i say no offers as dont want people emailing and texting offers of half of what i paid for car as this is what everyone is at since recession took its toll. if i got what i paid for the car i would sell for that amount. im not out to make a profit on the car i just need to free up funds. check the price of sterling in august and haulage prices of ipswich to west of ireland and im sure ronnie will tell you i paid the full asking price of 2.5k so this car was not bought to turn a few bob !!! peoples circumstances change daily and im no exception. as my add says " very regrettable sale "
car sold, gone to aberdeen, scotland. lost nearly a grand on the car but at least its gone to a good home.
ouch, sounds like there's a moral to the story somewhere... eek... as you say, good that it's gone to a good home, perhaps we'll see it back up here at some point soon

cheers mate, i do miss it looking on back at the last pics from billing now,
