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.

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!

Yes I did.
And I was also reffering to the OP.

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.
