Just curious did they do a special edition version, the trader i got my elite from has a V mv6 in stock says it special edition or does he think MV6 was special ( And yes all the mv6 owners will say that lol ).

Its looks quite sexy in black done 82k and only 1995 with history

"Special" means its only special because it been ragged to death and abused by the police

Avoid unless very very very cheap

Not sure only had 2 owners from new last once since 2005 looks ok. He also gives 3 months warranty so there is some comeback if it goes fubar

£2000 for an explod car is well over priced mate

[tallandy]

its not ex plod has had 2 private owners from new with full main dealer service history

[tmx]

does it say Special in the model description?

or LT? lt means it has leather

there was no special edition MV6 except the Police cars that are called Omega V6 Special

[tallandy]

got leather its an auto box as well maybe thats why he thinks it was special edition. he,s also got 2.5 elite for 1400 heres the link so you can see it. Apologies if links not allowed sure a mod will remove if i,m in wrong.

As someone who has worked extensively in the motortrade a warranty is a great thing for a dealer. They sell you one for several hundred quid when it only costs them £50-60. Check the warranty itself as many only cover certain components and under certain circumstances.

My dad just bought an Elite TD Estate with a manual gearbox and 118k on the clock 2 owners from new (last one an ex-traffic cop, 1st owner Vauxhall themselves), full Vauxhall service history for £925. Now that is a reasonable price given that you inevitably always have to outlay some cash on bits and pieces that you didnt notice when you bought it.

Get yourself down the car auctions and you will see cars like that going for £3-500. Last week I bought a 1999 Mondeo Estate 2.0 16v Zetec with 2 owners from new and 42000 miles (yes 42k!) and just serviced and MOT'd at 41k for £550.

Personally, unless you have fallen in love with that particular vehicle, as those in the trade would say, that price is retail. However some people prefer buying through a dealer and getting the warranty etc so it's horses for courses, but even for a dealer I think that's steep.
