My old car

[Crazylegs]

Hey folks, hope everyone is well.

Just seeing if anyone is on here who may have my old DC5?

I sold it a while back but the lad had to sell it on almost immediately, just wondering if anyone bought it and if they're on here.

More to the point, when are you getting another?

Going through your old posts, I'm presuming that this is your old car? Currently for sale on eBay.

I agree. It's been quiet in the forum without you

Says it has kpro in advert?

That's the one mate.


You got a link for the ad as I can't find the car on Ebay.

Can't believe it's for sale again, that will potentially be the 4th owner in the space of half a year. Gutted.

Thanks Patch, I'm missing the car and missing the forum too.

It didn't have KPRO when I had it (AFAIK) but then again I never pulled the ECU out to check.

Found it now, KPRO and the Typhoon has been added to it.

cannot believe the number of owners it has had since you sold it ... very bizzare

Me neither, the only thing it needed doing when I sold it was the CV joint on the passenger side. I could never get to the bottom of it, the car was spot on apart from that.

I know it's not mine anymore but it seems it's just being driven to sh*t and sold on which kind of makes me sad.

 

[nsxer]

i would feel the exact same way mate

just cant believe the number of change hands ... clearly people are either having issues with the car or cannot afford to run it.

crazy

Off topic
But when looking I've noticed many examples having high number of owners

See, I don't understand, these things are pretty much dirt cheap to run servicing wise etc. And at least one of the owners had reasonable money to spend if it's now KPro'd

Me neither, there was certainly nothing wrong with it when I had it. I know any car can develop issues over time but it's very odd.

Could well be a running costs issue. I really struggled to run it but still managed to for 3 years or so but it was difficult.

Of course but mine has switched hands loads in a short space of time, really odd.

Good point, does make you wonder why it's being sold on so quickly unless they've thrashed the boll*cks off it, haven't maintained it and something major has gone engine wise.

I saw the car for sale a few months ago on Facebook being sold on by a young chap, he commented saying the only reason he had to sell was because the insurance was ridiculously high. Something I presume we would all check before buying a car....

insurance is ludicrous for this car ... and certainly when test driving perhaps owners got caught in the moment and did not think about financials!
it happens

Maybe for some, mines £300 fully comp haha

Likewise, the dc5 was no more expensive to insure than an ep3

It was actually £140 less than the Mark 3 Astra 1.4 I was driving before it.

How the fuck did they work that out? Haha

 

[antisanta]

Kpro but no mention of a remap? Weird.

Guess its sold again now?

Get a Black one next time Marc.
