Just a general question out of interest[sorry if I'm hijacking thread]but what is it about the 3.2 that makes people seek them out?As I understand it apart from usual V6 maladies they also have the extra of the pre-cat sensors needing moving.Figures I've seen suggest they're not hugely more powerful or greatly faster than the 3.0l and yet apparently are far worse on fuel.So why the 3.2,what's to recommend it?

More torque, much easier engine to work on by virtue of not have utterly pointless emission plumbing all over the place, they're newer... need I go on ::)

Personally I think the 3.0's are better engines.  :y

As you say sensors are a faff, normal V6 issues. Is it easier to work on? Not vastly so to the 3.0, guess it looks a bit neater.

Fuel use is seriously shite. Yes it's a 3.2, but compared to the 3.0 it's just 200cc more but the difference in fuel use is far bigger.

I don't think it's any faster either, Tunnie family had 3.0 Estate for years. Is my 3.2 faster? Humm don't think so, about same really. Also the 3.2 delivers a lot of is power low down, one of the car parks i use for work, exits onto a 40mph road. 9/10 I can light up the rears just pulling away, without even trying. Just light throttle use.

Before anyone says tyres, 3.0 would run on budget tyres, never had that issue.

Only thing I like compared to the 3.0 is its DBW, so it has a lighter throttle pedal.   :)

Very nice looking Mig, definitely worth hanging onto I'd think.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Allowing for the price of Euro against the British pound, over here that price would be classed as too high, especially with that mileage/km.
And also with the dent. This is only my opinion, you understand :y
However, with the Irmscher bits, that could make a difference :y

My 2008 Zafira Elite is almost worth as much as a 14 year old Omega (albeit with Irmscher kit). Hopefully in a few years this kit will be worth a small fortune. Worth holding on to find out I think  ;D
