Rocket88 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Prices of good ones seem to be on the rise.............
JohnK Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Think I may have to slightly re-evaluate the 600 quid I was going to advertise my 2.6 MV6 for ...
rantingYoof Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I've done a few AT searches over the last few weeks for now obvious reasons and didn't see a single 3.0 or 3.2 V6. A few 2.6s, but a lot of a 2.2 petrol and DTis. On its way to becoming a cultish classic.
Rocket88 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 If the rear arches are good, and the belts have been done within living memory, they are starting to fetch good money, especially the 3.2 ones. I would love an estate version..................
MarvinsMom Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 these are AWSUM!!!!! even if it is way, way darn sarf...... GLWS
Supernaut Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 FOR FUCK'S SAKE. fatharris, trigger, Cavcraft and 2 others 5
320touring Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Think I may have to slightly re-evaluate the 600 quid I was going to advertise my 2.6 MV6 for ...Aye, tis a bit steep;) Cavcraft 1
rantingYoof Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 FOR FUCK'S SAKE. FWIW, it's 120 miles south of me, so basically it's not even in your hemisphere. I'll not mention that you could have flown to Bournemouth and then done a wingless-tube-journey across to Dorset to collect it and stopped off at mine enroute home, though. That wouldn't be cricket. Junkman and Cavcraft 2
Lord Sterling Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 WANT. Can't. Never bought a car for 4-figures before mind. Good luck with sale.
Rocket88 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Can meet half way if needed, especially if person has really nice estate they want to swap............
burraston2006 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Glwts! I live in Yobville but I've never seen it! Have you squirreled this honey away from the local idiots?!
Rocket88 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 I live in Yetminster, which is basically a one horse town...............without a horse.
burraston2006 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 I live in Yetminster, which is basically a one horse town...............without a horse. Ooo. You is praper posh then!!
Station Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 What are the 2.2 diesels like in these? I've never owned an Omega.
Rocket88 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Dizzlers ain't the best, according to perceived wisdom.............not great on juice, and a bit slow.
Rocket88 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Ooo. You is praper posh then!! Moving into Yeovil shortly, as our esteemed landlady, despite assurances to the contrary when we moved in, is selling the property
Lacquer Peel Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 My dad's Vectra C was a heavy thing but went well with the 2.2 DTi and was good on diesel if you didn't rag it. Tuning boxes are available.
Supernaut Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 FWIW, it's 120 miles south of me, so basically it's not even in your hemisphere.

Ah yes, for some reason yesterday I thought Yeovil was in the north, then today after some sleep realised it's in Somerset / that sort of area way way waaaaay away from me.
JohnK Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Ah yes, for some reason yesterday I thought Yeovil was in the north, then today after some sleep realised it's in Somerset / that sort of area way way waaaaay away from me.I'm fairly northern and you could have had my MV6 if I had known. I knew I should have advertised it weeks ago. You snooze you lose though I guess!
Cavcraft Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hugely under-rated cars, still regret selling my 3.0 a couple of years back. It was everything you'd want a 'posh' car to be, just wearing an unfashionable badge. JohnK 1
burraston2006 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Moving into Yeovil shortly, as our esteemed landlady, despite assurances to the contrary when we moved in, is selling the propertyBad luck
Pete-M Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 The last good Vauxhall, and it's even got the correct engine. 3.0 and 3.2 are the only acceptable flavours for these.
Rocket88 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 I've always had a soft spot for Carlton GSIs, but as they are now heading northwards in price [nice ones now £3k plus,] this was the next best option.
Junkman Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Moving into Yeovil shortly, as our esteemed landlady, despite assurances to the contrary when we moved in, is selling the property What a terminal cow!I was in the same situation before and know exacly what this is like. Tenant rights in England are medieval! Keep that Voxerl, get yourself that green 200 quid 405 estate from SX, if it's still available and roffle it after the move.Or maybe some shiter darf sarf can lend you his LDV Pilot? forddeliveryboy 1
Rocket88 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Anyone up for swappage for estate before I start paddling in the murky pool of disappointment that is ebay?
Brodders Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Bumping the thread for what seems like an amazing car for the price and to ask what the millage is on it.
Rocket88 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Brodders; 158k, although you'd never know, £4 of bills in past few years, previous owner seemed to be the sort of bloke who took it to the garage, and gave them carte blanche.............honestly, it would pass for a three year old car.
drum Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Lovely car and sorry to hear of your predicament.No six month assured short hold tenancy agreement?
