Lovely car but VED of £500 would take the shine off of it for me.

Thanks, I think it's more like £295 though. Or at least I hope so.

Ah yeah I remember that copper!
Never thought about de-badging it, good idea

As quick as a 320d will do me, and I'll take gladly take the mpg hit to avoid it sounding like a diesel tugboat

Nice big bus. I'm sure it wafts along at a fair old pace.

Enjoy.

Thanks, I'm chuffed with the deal I got on it. If anyone can find me another car with <35k miles, <8s 0-60 and for less than £1500 I'd love to see it.

Not as far as I know, but I've read they respond well to a remap (for an NA car) about 230hp.

No mileage listed on the ad but your search criteria is above 35k miles. So close, and yet so far
Thanks sleepera6.

Enjoy the Vectra, the estate models are cavernous!

Hmm, the mileage is higher but not by much and you do get an extra 30 horsepower. Good spot
Yes it does feel like a big car, lots of space inside. My other car which the Mrs has at the moment is a 2004 C180 estate and it feels much more cramped (my knee is always resting on the centre console)...
