Hello,

I have bought a 2.0 auto gls I have only had it a about 3weeks but am looking to sell it as i wanted a 2.6 v6 but me mates convinced me to get the 2.0 as is cheaper to run and insure etc but i went to blackpool in at and i no its only a 2.0 in a big car but it was really really slow. I love the car like just wondered what is the 2.6 v6 auto like on petrol as dont really want a manual as prefair the auto. I paid £1650 from a dealer not even a month ago it has full service history from vauxhall and ,mot till june next year and tax till dec it silver 4door and is in really good nick.

I would imagine the V6 would be slightly better MPG actually! It has to work far less hard than the 2.0 to move the car around, i have a 3.0 and it really motors when you give it some revs, it does about 17-30mpg depending on how you drive it and whether its in town or not  8-)

Im sure someone will be along to give you an accurate price guide but i would have said what you paid was a bit steep for a 2.0 GLS, i paid £1400 for my W 3.0 Elite with 78k, from a dealer too, FSH and mint condition with all the toys.

If you trade it in somewhere you will take a big hit no matter what, might be best to keep it a while?

Cheers!

You will need to post some pics and say what miles it has on it for someone to give a more accurate price guide.

Saying that, you bought it so theres no reason why someone else out there wouldnt buy it too, if you do a quality ad on autotrader and give it an excellent valet you might be surprised. Im always amazed how many people try and sell a car (even dealers) that look like they havent been cleaned in 5 years!

before i had an omega i had a vec sri and was looking at them and was about to buy a 2.2 150bhp one but was did a search on the vec owners forum and was adivsed to walk away as they all said at around 70k the crank shafts go on the 2.2 petrol engines so i spoke to a mate of a mate who's into vauxhall  said yeah the 2.2's are in his words shite. I can only go what he said and he told me to walk away as he had a couple with the same problems the cranks and just other bits n bobs but surpose thats the same with any engine but im cursed with cars so doesnt matter what i have always breaks lol

I think the Vec 2.2 is different to the Mig one.............mines on 111000 and still going strong

Press the sport switch and 'Drive' the car and it will be fine........
