Lexx Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Ok. Pics uploaded. The problems with the other dealer I wont go into. But basically I walked outta there in disgust this morning cancelling the deal, drove all the way to Loughborough, test drove, and placed deposit on a black 09 VXR8 with 4200 miles on the clock for £24500. I cant say how greatly surprised I was by the dealer here. Archie Moss. They bent over backwards, and they stayed behind till after 7pm to make sure it was all sorted for me and nothign was left to chance. I think I actually like them better in black! especially when Im finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like they made a decent job of detailing it too. Even the insides of the rims look clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walbertonio Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sweet - think the VXR8 looks awesome in just about any colour really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Did you get a different trade in price from the new dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 yeah, though not much better like but the VXR8 itself was considerable cheaper. And I was a little paranoid about the white one with it originally being a press car, and it being sideways - alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Now you say that the black is a lot more appealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 basically when it came down to it, the otehr dealer was wanting £3k for it being white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 very nice. I rather like the new vauxhall insignia vxr. See what quite often near where I live. Just needs a bit louder exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuck Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Looking good Lexx, can't wait for a poke around in it and can't wait for some more pics and a detailed report on what it is like Are you selling all your bit (guitar, light cluster and gear stick) so you can afford the petrol for the first few days?

Archie Moss are flogging these with delivery milage for £25k. Didnt drive one, but had a good mooch around, and have to say they come with alot of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmarky Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Anyone noticing the similarity between the VXR wheels and the old TSW Venoms? They are actually quite similar also look similar to the 370z wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Anyone noticing the similarity between the VXR wheels and the old TSW Venoms? why off topic, probably has more in common than you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbramble Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I love the VXR8, carry the kids one day and powerslide the next! I went on a track day with a guy in a monaro recently and it looked like he was having sooooo much fun going totally sideways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyj Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'm glad you didn't go for the white one. I work for a Vauxhall dealer so I'm on VXRonline all the time and I saw your thread recently. A while ago, we were selling them for £22,888 and there were a very very limited amount in white. Circa 5-7 in white, 90 odd in Evoke, 110 in Phantom Black etc. Because of that, white is fairly rare and dealers charge the earth for them. Regarding Insignia VXR's, Archie Moss are indeed knocking them out at £25k ish. But they bought 30 odd a few months ago and they have spent a while trying to shift them so if anyone was tempted with one, haggle, they really need to get rid of them. Oh, and don't kerb Insignia VXR 20's if you can help it. They're a bitch to refurb and cost £427+VAT (ish) each new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
