Been keeping an eye on this one on eBay and AutoTrader, it's a wonder it hasn't sold. But just look at it it's ugly inside and out :-\ a real shame but I couldn't do with one of these even if its the 3.2 Elite, and I think I'm correct in thinking the Omega 3.2 Elite has more toys overall over the Veccy C 3.2 Elite.. I would have thought the Vectra might have a few new toys maybe auto dipping headlights etc ?
Anyways here's the link...

Even so it's bloody cheap!!

There must be something wrong with it.

it's the wrong wheels driving it :)
even so that is cheap I'd be tempted would be better if it was a manual :y

Only 3.2 manuals are plod ::), although a touch smaller than an Omega, boot is about the same size. Early one had the option of electric front seats, and heated rear seats (fronts already heated) :y
Quite underated, but as you can see, excellent value :y
Manual conversion easy enough, F28 six speed should bolt straight on :y
Also, to update the front end, it's all nuts and bolts.

seems like its done to low a milage to have been a taxi and I doubt a 3.2 Petrol would be cost affective for a taxi.

The minute I see 0161 I run a mile.

er, not true. I know of two manual 3.2 Elites. This is a saloon which will also driv the price down - but it does seem too cheap though.

My bad, just dug out a review of the GSI, most are autos, the manuals being relatively rare :y We run a saloon and a hatch, (amongst other things), side by side, there's very little that the saloon can't do in comparison :-\ if anything the saloon is the better car as it's more rigid and is noticably quieter on the road :y
The price boils down to the engine, the fact it's a saloon and it's not the best colour for these :-\ It also demonstrates just how underestimated these cars are in the wider world :-\
