Well, Saab was only a temporary car, made £170 profit on it yesterday so decided to have a peek on ebay and see what was about.
Bidded on the Vectra a couple of times and went to £400 iirc. Got outbid so decided to bid a max of £540 and leave it at that. Won it and as the guy works lates, me and the missus decided to plod on over to pick it up (82 miles door to door and although i was happy to get it today, the missus decided no time like the present
)
Got there about 0030hrs, had a good look and a test drive, all seemed well apart from a couple of small bits but nowt major that i cant deal with and ended up leaving about 30mins later. Stopped at Chievely Services to change over the h/u as it needed a code and i was not driving back with no sounds so changed it over, fuelled and added fluids, and slow timed it back with my missus in the lead just in case.
