Strengths and weaknesses?  Anything particular to look out for

Car in question has a manual box and has done 100k with good history...

TIA

Specifically this...

An Insignia....

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

 If you can stomach the looks then  £4995 before haggling sound reasonable........even for a mutant.

At least the boot opening is a sensible shape

And as was the case with the frog eyed Scorpio and the Mk2 Mundeo... you dont need to look at it when you're driving it

Yep. the Insignia accessory catalogue lists a giant 'tea cosy' that covers everything except the windows. Too many children have been traumatised by a 'naked' insignia looming out of the mist.  

I will say that the estate looks far better than the  dumpy bloated saloon.

[The Sheriff]

Agreed. I quite like the look of the estate.

Just a thought.....but being white and having done a lot of miles it's not ex-plod is it?

Following one yesterday and that was my first thoughts too  Estate a little better on the eye 

[The Sheriff]

This is the one for you, Al

The saloon reminds me of those little green tropical frogs that pump themselves up to twice normal size in an attempt to scare off predators.......bloated.

Wrong colour and about £23k over budget, but otherwise perfect

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Dr Opti has a serious problem when it comes to insignia's 

Must mean he longs for one deep down 

...That VXR estate looks good, 26k too much though 

[henryd]

The white 5grand estate looks very good value even with the milage

Mechanicals are an unknown for me, hence the original question...

[joshwyatt]

There is an '11' ex TVP one coming through soon. But the issues with excessive tyre wear would worry me. Apparently it's been as bad as every 4k miles.

They used to manage 3k out of the Omega tyres if EXG was anything to go by

Now that's just being picky.
