Hello,
I'm quite new to this forum and I'm looking to buy a vectra '99/00, my budget don't allow me to get anything better at the moment
I had Opel Corsa = holden barina in europe and after moving to Australia I still want to stay with this brand.
Hope I will get new car on days and will be able to share my knowledge on the forum
I don't know if I'm blind but if someone can show me topic on forum, where can I get info at what should I look while buying vectra, thx.
Sorry for my English I'm really trying hard

if your budget is limited, why not go another corsa again?

Welcome!
If i were you, id either be looking for a 2.2 4cyl or the 2.6 6cyl
i would stay away from the 2.5
cars are getting on with age so there are alot of high K ones around, but you should be able to find one in the low 100's for a decent price.

Hi!
It all depends how much you have to spend really.
You should be able to get yourself a nice 4 cylinder 2.2 for between 5.5 and 7k, with the 2.6 Vectras starting from around 6.5k.
With the vectra it's definitely worth paying the extra money to get one that's been looked after; a full service history is definitely something you'll want to look for. Pay attention to the gearbox on test drive, and also see how it idles. If the idle is rough chances are it will soon need an Idle Control Valve clean/replacement. Also check the steering (power on full lock each side) and make sure it's not groaning.
Personally I'd go for the 2.6 (made in Belgium/Germany) as the 2.2 was made in Australia and some of the build quality can be a bit questionable.

Welcome to the site mate
+1... or are you really after a bigger make this time?
To be honest I had two cars
peugeot here is way too expensive that's why I prefer to stick to holden
barina is too small for me I need to have a car with boot where I can put pram.
welcome mate ! Nuggz will sell his Veccy to you for $3000 ! (cheeky Grin)
i will actually
