vec c or b?

its rare to find a garage that would offer anywhere near what a private seller would want

might be better selling private and buying with cash

what was the omega up for? and what spec is it?

Why on earth would someone pay £3000 for a B when you can have a 3.2 GSI for a grand less

facelift c def better looking car mate but the never made a gsi in facelift form did they, it was replaced by vxr, only meant if it was between a late b gsi and an early c gsi I think the b would sell quicker, but thats just my opinion lol

Regardless of how good a veccy looks it still suffers woeful understeer.  You'll enjoy the miggy when you get it, but why settle for a 2.2?  You need a proper engine in it :y
