    97 Legnum VR4
     

    New VR4 owner

    Hello all from a first time legnum owner!

    I have just purchased this 97 legnum vr6 auto for 2k on a bit of a whim, spurred on by my petrol head colleagues..
    To be honest I hadn't even heard of a legnum before last tuesday, but my god what an awesome beast she is!!
    Is very clean, not a scratch on it really and underneath is also very clean and has been undersealed at some point recently and interior is mint! All looks fairly original as well with no mods as far as I can see and 90k on the clock and a spanking new set of wheels. 2k seemed like a bargain to me, what do ya reckon? Unfortunately not a lot of service history though other than a service, new cambelt, brake discs/pads and a new rad within the last 18 months.
    Plan at the moment is to keep it nice and original.. not sure how long that'll last though.

    cheers,

    Tim

    Good looking example, nice touch on rims as well, as you say 2k for a car like that is a bargain, hope you enjoy CVR4,

    Hi & welcome to CVR4. 2K is about right for a good PFL at the moment & is a lot of car for your money. Enjoy the car & enjoy the club

    Thanks for the replies, what a freindly bunch you are!

    Steve - only 2 in Jersey as far as I know.. So I don't think I'll be starting the Jersey VR4 club anytime soon :-)

    Aboo - Everything in Jersey is a complete rip off including 2nd hand cars, so if the gong rate is about 2k in UK I think I may have got a bit of a bargain.

    Truly awesome car though, never really had a performance car so am loving it.. And have subsequently used 3/4 tank in 3 days!

    Cheers
    Tim
