I had 1 of these a T REG before my scooby and i must say it was pretty quick and nimble.Paid £3000 for it and PX £1100 about 1.5 years ago.Would do about 135mph flat out (not in the uk ofcourse).Buid quality was pants lots loose trim and rattles and the Mrs said it was an old mans car,also insurance was group 16.

£2000 for a shed - I think this has all gone a little wrong.
A monkey should cover a shed.
Please please please - £500 sheds from now on - I don't care if the MOT is only for 2 months.

I agree, a shed should be something you could buy for the novelty of it as long as it would last a couple of months - any more would be a bonus. Therefore around £500 is right with something like the S class cabrio being acceptable at the £1k level as an absolute top limit.

Christ, wish people wouldn't compaire the VTS with the GTI-6, they only share the engine! VTS has 5 speed box and the one i drove certainly didnt handle like a GTI-6. Would have been a good shed @ around £900 though!!

I think the shediness of a car depends somewhat on the cars original value. For example I would consider a mega mileage early 90's Merc S600 which originally cost over 100K new and is selling for 1600 quid a shed.

Hunt about and there are 306 GTi-6's out there for that kind of wedge. 10 times the car.  only 1 1/2 times the car. They are very similar to drive, plus the xsara gearbox tends to be more robust. 306 is still a better car, but only by a small margin The gearbox of a GTI-6 is about the most robust thing in the car. Never had I heard of any of those failing. Plus it derived from a motorsport gearbox, so it's properly sorted.

Whenever I see those Xsara VTSs, I can't help but wonder if Citroen were taking the piss with the ride height. They're a bit on the off-roader side of things! (standard at least). The one true shed of the week is http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=... though

I agree with the guys here. I love shed of the week, but £500 - £800 is real shed money. £1900 is a decent secondhand car money. Not really shed money. Sort it out guys!

I agree that £2k is too much for a shed, but if your gonna do that amount, there's so many more interesting cars out there. I mean, come on, a Citroen Xsara in a crap colour?! Here's my alternative £2k 'shed': http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/174480.htmMuch more interesting...
