Evening folks,

Thought i'd show you my new pride and joy - bought today and pick up later in the week. Only got the pics from the dealer at the moment but hope to get some up once I pick it up.

I've been running around in a 53 plate 1.8 Vectra for the past 18 months so for me its quite an upgrade! I'd been looking at one with 86k miles on the clock '08 plate but the mileage and big gap in the service history was one red flag too many for me. Fortunately for me this appeared at the one of the dealerships yesterday and well I snapped it right up.

'11 plate GT 21k miles which I paid £12k for - which is on the thick end of the price scale but with the manufacturer warranty made it worth it for me.

Great choice! On that plate will come with the LSD too so that's a bonus!
Let us know what you think of it after a few good drives, I love mine and wouldn't change it for anything similar.
Also get the Type R decal for the side, really improves the look I think biggrin

Looks very nice mate!! I'd imagine the stickers and badge have been removed by a previous owner?

Cant see the pics until i get home but my mate has one without the LSD and he loves and i can see why. The vtec is just soo addictive! You've got the gt so should be alot more fun in the bends.
