Your expert opinions needed now lads and lassies :y - should i change my facelift '51 plate, black V6 2.6 auto, just had cambelt done, 84k on clock...........for a 98, 'S' elite 3.0 auto, all singing and dancin mmmm
sat nav, leather etc....... 115k on clock, has svce history, 1 previous owner, cambelt has been changed bla bla bla.............
I am really in a tizz about this one, so need help.........shall i go back in age and slightly more miles? - or forfeit that for the Elite luxury?? - were they problem models?? ALL YOUR THOUGHTS/COMMENTS ARE VERY WELCOME
PS - SHWBO not keen as i just got this one, and shelled out on cambelt, and would lose money on selling it...but i pointed out the fact of higher tax, but NOT so on the Elite. - must count for something
AAARRGGGHHHHHHHH :-/

I much prefer the swage line that continues on from the wings onto the preface lift bonnet than the 'Astra G' look of the facelift bonnet. Also the dark tail lights.
Apart from that ........ ;) :y
