History
Don't know where to put this , but for years down my neck of the woods there was this mature gentleman , who use to drive this car , he always has to great big dogs in the back of the car and the cars windows were covered in dog slobber .
I always thaught ....
1) that car must smell of dog
2) what's a man like that driving a high performance car ?
But that's a bit ageist .
Anyroadup up time passed and I never saw tha car again ,
Roll forward 2 weeks ago first week in feb 2016
And looking on that well known auction site at vectras , and low and behold this is for sale 30 miles away from me Price £1200 or offer , so I message the chap as he says the cambelts and alternator has been done so I just wanted to make sure he had receipts to prove , yes he dose
So I put in a Mike Brewer cheaky offer of £850.00
He messages me next day saying when can I pick up ?
So it's mine .
Get it and he gives me a folder full of invoices
Every service and I find out this car was owned by that mature chap down the road from me .
He spent £600 on seat belts cos the dogs kept chewing them .
He also spent last year £1300 on mot plus service .
The chap I brought it from , brought it 5 months earlier off a dealer as a part ex bargin , he was going to keep it , but he gets itchy fingers and fancied a change .
I've had 5 vectra B in the past ( this my 6th )
2-SRI ,1-cd ,( all 2.0 engines ) 1-2.5 GSI 1-2.6 CDX and now this .
