10k  59 reg with 45k one owner did not think it was too bad, looking at what else was out there, only one i have ever seen with cream and brown. BMW 7 was just a little out of my price range in the end :'( espicially with wifey needing her car replacing too she got a vectra estate so our combined fuel bill should now be drastically reduced :y well thats the plan i sold her ;D ;D

I must say that an Insignia is the way to go if not a BMW  or Merc. :y :y :y :y

cheers guys and dolls , yes i had one for 3 days on loan liked it but found myself missing it. Then was trying to do a deal on one with pentagon who I am soon to go to court with over my van etc. Basically pentagon being silly people could not do the right thing if they were given directions so found this by chance near stoky boy DAZ at Quicks cars, looking forward to picking it up.

Only thing not sure about is the 19" wheels love the look of them but think they will make for a hard ride :o
plus of course tyres :'(

Lots of new cars go for these big wheels, often up to 21!

Makes tyre costs quite considerable  :'(

Hope you get one never driven the XJ but had a the older xj6 on a demonstration was bloody lovely like sitting in an arm chair with this huge bonnet, nice warm gearbox next to you very nice. I would love a bmw 7 not the pretiest car in the world but great to drive but will have to wait so i can make sure i get the right one not the cheapest one :y

You're quite correct, and had there been a better choice of petrol R350s about I think I'd have had one. As much as I'd have loved one, a R500 would have been taking the proverbial.  ::)
Having had a diseasal for a year (other than my crappy Astra), I think I'll be turning my back on the 'Fuel of the Devil' in the futrure.  :y

Heres pics of interior in mine complete with cream leather - as said like sitting in a very comfy armchair - easy to get comfy as everything is adjustable electrically including a lot of different seat adjustments, pedal box, steering wheel and mirrors.

Thanks mate - your Insignia looks nice - hows the usable space in the back compared to the Omega Estate?
Not bad motors though - on of my neighbours has a 59 plate Insignia (not Estate version) and that drives well - he says he'd buy another ;)

Thanks everyone, looking forward to getting the Insignia, main reason was economy and interior. I did want a 7 series but to get anything with the same miles and year would have cost a lot more. I know Cornel Custuard likes his and i did in honesty enjoy my 3 day test drive, mind you car only had 300 miles on it so who wouldnt.

Only issue would be boot size, well not volume but height it is quite low due to the sloping back which looks great, wifeys just got a vectra c etstate and its so much bigger than the insignia and the miggy mainly in height which means doggy can stand up in the boot, his wife is shorter so shes ok in all of them.

just waiting pateintly for a collection date now  ::) ::) :y
