I was well impressed with the power and how planted the thing felt, then i turned on the sport mode! That should be set as standard. Any how the short of it is I want one! I got back to the dealers and they gave me the offer...£2300 for my 04 Signum 2.0 Design T (53k). I wasn't really intending on buying at that price so made my excuses, before I was out the door they'd knocked £1500 off the VXR!
Anyhow I got home and had a look on Autotrader and there seems to be quite a few early VXR's for well under £10k, some as low as £8k. I also saw a couple of signum 2.8T Design, do they share any of the VXR setup, suspenssion/ brakes etc? I know BSR can get the power up to 300bhp so that aspect doesn't worry me. I'd possibly go as high as £10k for a peach example.
Is there any other differences between the early and late VXR's other than engine output?
Any other advice well come...
