Cheers Deano, I think I'll keep it then. I don't know another car that can be a luxury car one minuite, then put the seats down and I've got a builders truck the next.
I got 400kg of paving slabs in it one time.  Sunk a bit on the springs, but it still drove ok!

If you want to know what its worth in the real world (bottom book), try glass's website. It costs, but at least you get a good idea.

Just tried the link (being miffed at spending £3.50) :'(. The vauxhall site only gave trade in values, not a private sale or retail price. The trade in values were virtually the same though.

Yeah, I think thats because idiots would take it to a Vx dealer expecting 'Private Good' prices, and get upset when offered trade in price....

A rule of thumb is add about 500 to 750 for private sale....dealers add anything upto 2000 depending on how much recon, warranty, service, paying VAT on any profit etc has to be paid let alone a profit
