Has 102k however has all dealer stamps with its last service from AS Performance in Chester Le Street. Cam belt was changed at 96k too along with some suspension and ball joints. Has a K&N induction kit (which i may remove) but other then the wheels is standard. Drives really well, brakes seem strong with no pulling to either side and no smoke from the turbo. Engine sounds good with no knocking. M
Car isnt currently MOT'ed but hes booking it in tomorrow and will sort anything needed before i hand over the cash.
Picking it up next weekend as i have to get rid of my Astra this week.
Looking forward to coming down to the next meet!

I know this car it was a cat c right off, it was smashed up pretty bad and bodged back together then traded in. I'm just winding you bud, it looks like a tidy car. If it is as nice in the flesh as it looks in the pictures you have a got good deal.

Haha cheers Dave, shit myself there then thought hold on, i had it checked!
The lad who owns it at the moment bought it in feb before checking insurance... hes 21 so was quoted £3400! Then he changed his mind about it!
He paid £2599 in Feb for the car from a local garage.

Im concerned about the K&N induction kit. Ive heard they can mess up the MAF and that unless they have a shield and cold air feed arent as good as the standard box with a good panel filter. It sounds great but id rather the car ran right!
If so does anyone know where i can get a replacement air box cheap!

Will do, theres a 94 breaking in the for sale section. If he had the box would it fit a 00 car?
