Hi,
I'm off to look at a VX220 Turbo in Accrington soon with a view to buying it. However I'd like to have it looked over by an expert first (an independent garage would be fine). Does anyone know of a VX specialist garage in the area? The local vauxhall garage doesn't seem to do them...
Thanks in advance!
I tried finding someone up near there as I bought mine in Chester but I couldnt find anyone.
In the end I got it done by the RAC.
Not ideal for a specialist motor but the standard stuff they are very good at and will know if its been sprayed or repaired etc.
Thanks, I think that's what I'm going to have to do, they're not the cheapest though, they just quoted me 260 quid!
Better safe than sorry I guess...
£260???
Mine was £206
Its a 2.0 remember, unless the cost of inspections has gone up massively...
I think that was with all the bells and whistles, including the HPI. Also, I'm not an RAC member.
Nor am I and this was only a month ago.
The comprehensive test was £206 and this was with a full HPI etc.
Unless there is one above that.
Just checked.
Essentials plus, 1.5 - 2 litres £205.95
Thats exactly what I paid, I would be having a word...
Cheers, I'll make sure I don't pay a penny more when I book it!
Have you asked on vx220.org.uk?
You may well get an experienced owner to come and take a look at it, which is probably about as much use as an RAC inspection.
That's what I did when I bought mine.
