about the same as a vectra of that year maybe a touch more expensive. nice cars for old ones.


IIRC the 2.2 TD uses the same old Vauxhall engine that was used in the Vectra B.

yeah looks like the 1.9 150 engine same as vectra is possibly the better car to buy.

Not a fan of the original Saab posted. Would rather a 2 year old Audi than an 11 plate Saab. Just think the interior looks dated for a new car, exterior is more modern looking but still not to my taste

I like the white one although I wouldn't call it a proper bargain, might be £18k off retail but £38k for a big anonymous looking saloon car is too much to start with.

Like I say I like it but its nothing special really, its no Audi or BMW but its nice enough to drive, brisk enough in a straight line, can get loads in it and its a little different!

Cheers for the comments tho!

I really like that Stu, I think I prefer it in estate form. My brother had a 1.9 ttid on lease for a bit and they do pull really well. I may have to consider one of these at these prices

Quite like Saabs now. 9-3 Aeros are nice. Not sure on that 9-5, its certainly different.

Looks too much like a Vauxhall Signum from the front and an Audi from the back.

Do you mean Insignia, a Signum is just a vectra.

It basically is a Vectra with an Alfa engine. Think the interior is a little nicer but like I say its still no BMW or Audi.

Could potentially get a bargain with a Saab now though and even they have gone bust, the parts bin is stolen from other manufacturers anyways!

Smart that John. Diesel one that shape sold for 450 the other night just down the road in Carlisle I was tempted but typically it hadn't been pay day yet.
