what can you tell me about this car?

[pidsy]

My FIL has bought a silver vauxhall vectra reg: BJ02 RWV

he paid £500 for ir and knows nothing about it - i really mean nothing. he thought it was an astra.

he has no paperwork for it bar the V5. he doesn't even know what engine its got in it. all it has on the boot is an SRi badge and "150" in red vinyl.

i thought it was far too cheap.

so, i'm sure you guys can tell me if its ben written off, got a million miles on it etc.

just trying to help the FIL out.

cheers guys.

It's silver,
It's an SRi

Oh yes, ASK MID states that it isn't insured either at the moment.

2 Owners, Last one since 2005. It's an SR1 150. Recorded on the NMR as possibly having a discrepancy with the mileage.

That's yer lot.

There's a well specc'd 2003 Vectra 3.2 V6 for sale near me for £750.
155k on the clock an looks ok.

I don't think it's over priced. Vectra's are hitting less than shed money now.

And rightly so.

he hasn't picked it up yet, not suprised its got a discrepancy on the mileage - it was very cheap.

looks like he may have had a bit of a deal. the 2.2 petrol wont be too cheap to run though.

thanks guys!
