    Thanks for that, dont have any spare money so cant afford 2 or 3 grand for a new car hence my earlier question.

    i think it might be a good idea to just sell it on Ebay?

    I think if you put an honest advert on ebay for the Vectra and let it go for whatever you can get you stand a good chance of getting a buyer. There are people around who will pick up cars for just a few hundred, spend a bit on them and run them for a while.
    Really doubt you will get your money back if you have to pay out for repairs to get through MOT.
    If £50-£60 fee for MOT is all you need to spend to MOT it, would be worth doing.

    Thanks you two.

    i think i will put it on ebay an maybe put a small reserve on it. as long as people know it has no mot or tax then it should sell.
