Car Description

Car History

Hi Guys, considering selling my beloved Galant Vr4. Its been a great little project but I'm looking for a camper or american pickup and I don't have the space for both with the other cars too.

Ive had the car for 3 years and it has done very little miles. It came with no history, so I started to keep a good history as much as I could and the car has a wallet, manual and load of receipts.

Ive done a lot of work to the car, including new pads and discs all round, new tyres, new wheels etc. I have receipts for many thousands for the work done and id rather not add it up!. Its very well equipped with 4 wheel steer and 4 wheel drive as well as climate control and an electric sunroof. All electrics work.

The car has superb power, with little happening below 2000rpm. After which it flies and sounds superb. The car rides very very hard since adding the Evo suspension and the thick ARB's all round, but the handling is excellent.

I will miss it loads, its never let me down even though it'll be running 300+ bhp. As mentioned above, I would like £2000 for it, which I think is a bargain I'm afraid I'm not open to offers as I think it is a good price. Anything less and I would likely keep it.

Ive probably not answered a lot of questions, but feel free to ask away.

Modifications.

The car looks quite nice and standard but has had a number of modifications. The headline performance modifications from my records are as follows:

Bad bits

Its in very useable condition but I'll be very honest about it. Please note the following negatives:

1. Bodywork is generally good and has had a respray at some point, but has started to bubble on one wing and the spoiler.
2. Solid ride as mentioned above
3. Electric window drivers side is slow (could be the race battery in the cold)
4. Seats are old school, very soft and very 80's
5. It makes the odd squeek now and then from the suspension or ARB's since fitting. I like it, it makes me laugh everytime, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Thats all I can think off. I did have a rough running issue recently, but the fuel was a bit old and since use and a fresh tank its been fine.

[chris g]

Nice car....

[MarkSanne]

I'd better not... no! I must resist. Using all my force now. Click "post quick reply" and never look at this thread again!

Id be all over this in a rash, I was hunting for one high and low before I bought the Evo 1


grrrrrrrrrrrr always at the wrong time!

[pezza]

Lovely car mate....I should say good luck with the sale but hope you can find space to keep it...

Dodge RAM or Ford lightning pickup next....??

[elnevio]

Must. Not. Look!

[Axeboy]

Thanks guys, i dont really want to sell as you'll know, but space needed!

[The Ox]

Good luck with the sale Scott. I can't imagine what would persuade me to part with my 6g but looking at yours makes the idea of a sunroof seem very appealing I can't justify a second one just to have a choice of roof vent or no roof vent though.

I might have trouble not parting with some cash if a 7g was to turn up though Not seen one of those come on the market for a couple of years now though (and I'm not going anywhere near one of those with two tone paint!)

[Axeboy]

Thanks mate

[Axeboy]

Will now take £1800.

If not sold, ill just MOT her in Feb and keep her

[foxdie]

Scott, did you sell this in the end?

*rubs thighs*

[pezza]

Scott, did you sell this in the end?

*rubs thighs*

"..step away from the keyboard ..."

[Axeboy]

Its still here and has a fresh MOT. Passed with a few advisories which I had resolved at the same time.

Just had it re-undersealed too

It was running rough under 2k revs but has been resolved with fresh fuel, that shows how much I havent used it

The race battery is struggling in winter too.. if I keep it, ill get the battery moved to the boot, its no big fuss, just annoying having to keep the battery conditioner on it during the cold months
