Title: Descision made!
Post by: alunonhisown on 01 January 2010, 20:20:39
I have been looking through all old posts on here and have decided that I will not be happy until I find and own my own 3.2 Elite.
Don't know where or if ever I will get one but that is what I want, may never get to find one, but at least I can start saving, will have £2500 in Jamuary, so there is a start.
Dunno how much they go for, never even seen one but there, that is what I have decided and I am going to go for it.
So if you guys have some pics, or know for one for sale please let me know.
Even an idea on prices will be most appreciated
Cheers
Diane

15 Elites for sale on Autotrader and not a single 3.2.


There are a few 2.6 and plenty of 3.0.


Maybe one day the right one will turn up.   :y

They are out there, just need to be patient and keep looking.  Had this one for a year now and it took months of looking to find exactly what I was wanting....

Very Nice!!! There is only one (well maybe two) things wrong with that car,and no offence meant or intended,
1) It is an Estate
2) I want it, only if it was a saloon
Really nice friend

There is only ONE thing wrong with my lovely saloon:

1) It's not an estate!!


Estates are preferable - certainly to me, with dogs..  :y

I needed an estate, so got one.  There are equally nice 3.2 saloons hiding out there too....

All I really want is Sat Nav (Colour) Telematics,( I do not fancy one of them Nokia cradles stuck in the middle of seats ) I been caught twice on phone, and black leather, so maybe I do not need an Elite
Or Do I
I can get them leather ones from somewhere I posted yesterday, if anyone was near to wherever they are and check them out for me, and Josh has offered to fit em free (if I buy his car, obviously)
But then I need  phone sorting out.
Grrrr decisions decisions
Help me out folks

I think the inbuilt phone is a big bonus.  Whap a Pay/Go sim card in and simply forward the calls from your personal mobile to the car.  If you have your directory copied to the car phonebook, also shows who is calling.  You do loose glovebox storage space though, so bear that in mind if its important to you.

Satnav is good, although it does not do postcodes.  Streets only.  That said, I like the turn by turn directions and zoom in to show the junction layout, something that TT does not do (on the one I have anyway).

Let you off, even if I did lose a post or 2 in the process.  No worries.

Diane.  You say you want Black Leather.

The only reason I bought my current Omega is because it had Cream Leather.  I might be talking out of turn here, but have you ever owned a car with Black Leather??????  My Cavalier during the Summer is unbearable.  Wearing shorts is a no no.  The cream leather seems to not absorb half the heat.

Just something else to throw into your equation I guess.

If you want a 3.2 and are willing to pay top price for top car .. keep an eye on this guys site ....  he is expensive but his cars are good, and his "after sales" cannot be faulted .. well not by me anyway...

He also seems to be able to find cars no-one else does... in fact it might be worth giving him a call and telling him what you are after...  :)
