My dad is bidding on this, what do you think, its only for a second car to carry the dogs around.

not taken by vectras usually but that's well nice, i like the GSi alloys too, and never seen one with beige leather either...

a worthy downgrade from my omega in a year or so??

You dont get to many problems with the later vectras so should be ok.....

Cambelt change is a little more of a challenge than on a 'proper wheel drive' car!

No climate control which is a plus point (they fail to easily on Vectras and there is currently a dispute between Gm and the fan controller manufacturers!)

Judging by the seller name, could be a member on here!

Is it just me, or does that Silver and Cream dash just look nasty?

I have one of these - silver and 02 plate - sri 2.6 too..

I love it, in strangely attached since rebuilding half its engine after oil cooler failure, new stat, radiator, timing belt etc etc..and more

Same engine as 2.6 omegas.

I Personally have never seen one with that interior - i think its from a cdx....All the sri`s had half leather recaroesqu seats. Bit like seeing baggy leather in an MV6 that one  :-?

Very very quick but not the refinement of the omega.

oh and i have been watching the prices as i will soon be selling mine - they dont get what the "books" say they should through ebay so with reference to that model, with 118k and on an x plate i think its more or less on its money.

Id settle for 2.5k for my 02 with 44k fsh when i sell it...

I agree, I don't think there was ever a cream leather interior in an SRi.
