That would be one heck of a buy... but I would like to know who did the manual conversion?  ;)
Remember, 3.2 retail never had anything other than an autobox.

Has to be said though, even as an auto that is an excellent price.

If it's completely genuine, it's one hell of a buy:

Hemel's about ten minutes from Luton airport.

Fly down and if you don't like it, Crazyjet the hell out of there.

Anyway, about alternatives, I've always liked the late model Mitsubishi Galant estates. The bodykitted ones look eeeeevil. Down side is they're mostly FWD with some 4WD's  think. 2.5 V6 would be the choice I think.

The silver 3.2 certainly is rare, if its a genuine original manual 3.2 as I thought they were only for the Polis, everyone else got a slush-o-matic gearbox?

I would steer clear of the SAAB. My friend had a standard turbo 9-3 with 200 odd bhp but you could'nt use the power because when it came on boost it would try and wrench the steering wheel out of your hands and throw you in the ditch. Nasty car. I would'nt expect the 3.2 Vectra much better. Too big and heavy engine over the front wheels. Stick to a RWD. Much better balance, handling. Try a Skyline 2.5 turbo RWD and put a smile on your face. :yfront

What about a 3.2 veccy elite or gsi Markie? :-/


I probably would yes!

Or - just been looking at Saabs on Ebay....like the 9-3 Aero's

Maybe its not a straight fite between the newer Omega or a Mitsu Evo  :-/

Anyone got any other cars to throw into the equation.....

Must be 2000 onwards well spec's and at least on a par performance wise and extras wise to my current car.

Grey import estate is called a Legnum, 2.5 V6, twin turbo with a triptronic gearbox and 4 wheel drive, or you can have a manual version, also the Legnum is considerably cheaper than the Gallant badged version

What i cant work out is why its called a VR4 when its a V6????? ::)
