Sadly that's what they're worth ::) not sure I'd trust that box with all the torque  :-\

If you don't need the estate, I would be inclined to offer £4200 for the red SRi Turbo...or save the money to fuel the Omega :y

TBH, there's very little in power between the 3.0 and the 1.9 (150) CDTi engines in reality, although the 3.0 is much more torquey, but the 3.0 is considerably more thirsty ;)

Well, that was when I looked a while back. I agree that I'd be concerned with that box on the 3.0 ;)

Bellinger are always expensive. But then they do seem to have some decent cars in stock. Plus they are a VXR8 dealership as well.

But that is Insignia money.

Nooo, there is no dent in it !!! And yes for another £500 I could have bought a boring jelly mould !!  ;) ;) ;D ;D

You prbably could have :-\ but it would have been an ex Enterprise rental 1.8 that hadn't been serviced in 2 years :-\

So, put simply why would you bother :-\ Fortunately, you didn't  :y The VXR bodykits suit the Vectra estates much better than the Irmscher ones, and the 18"s finish it off nicely 8)

Was nearly tempted by one a couple of years ago in Technical Grey, basically a really nice gun metal 8)

Did anybody actually pay £32,000 for a 3.2 Elite back in 2003?.

Forrest Gump, perhaps. :)
