on: April 03, 2006, 10:43:11 AM
Found a Calibra locally for £750 its the 4 wheel drive one I think the 2l turbo? Looks clean on the outside and immaculate inside havent had a look at the engine but its lowered with adjustable suspension and a new full stainless steel exhaust set-up...

As much as its tempting I think the insurance would kill me, 2years ncb 0 offences....

Anything I should be looking for if I think about getting it?

rust is the main thing i think, look everywhere for it. floor, sills, jacking points, inside panels etc.

i think after a certain year they started to galv them tho so if it is after that then not much to worry about.

check all the electrics, and also i am yet to find a vaux trip computer that works properly tbh

nice looking cars tho.

£750 for the calibra,

£250 Max, for structural welding (the outside might look mint, but 90% of vauxhalls of that age will need a bit of welding)

So for less than £1000 youll have a great FWD 2.0 turbo car.  Go for it.

And you have the disgusting interior to put up with...

A car at that class of money is going to be ropey - especially a mainland car.
