I saw one today

[5ft10ins]

I spotted a Signum in Basildon today. I wonder where all the others are? What's wrong with them? I never see any on the road or in car parks, only on forecourts.

And welcome to the site...

No, a Vectra. I was thinking of going for one, but worried why nobody buys them.

[Mark The Cabby]

Not many people buy them mate because not many people know about them, they use all the vectra running gear and are based on a vectra estate chassis.

Thats exactly it, best kept secret, VX just don`t seem to try and sell them, you never see an advert for them do you, which is a shame because it is a cracking car , Especially the facelift, the signum looks gorgeuos with new front

I know it's off topic but seems to fit in with the way this thread is going ... I always assumed the Signum was the replacement for the Omega which seemed to disappear very quietly indeed. I have just Googled and found Wikipedia also seems to agree with my assumption but then I found this ... New Omega for 2006
I wonder if we will see it in the UK ... quite like the sound of the 200Bhp V6 3.0 Cdti based on the engine in my car. Also like the sound of the V8! ... 350bhp

Thats always been the problem with the Signum, It's Vauxhall's best kept secret I really love my car, the build quality is fantastic, the ride and handling far surpasses the Vectra yet Vauxhall just do not promote the car

Vauxhall have no doubt invested millions in a car that they do not really want to sell. Sounds crazy I know, but after trying to get a 2.8T Signum and using my 3.0 as a Part exchange I was sadly dissapointed with the part exchange prices offered, some dealers as low as 10k for a car only 1 year old and with 16000miles to me is shocking for a 27k car when it was new.

The best deal I was offered(14.5k) was actually from Mercedes against a new 320 CDi SLK, but I could not afford the extra that the Merc commands when new.

If you are willing to keep a Signum for 5 years, and you buy it at around 6 months old at around 14k then you will average out ok.

It really is a fantastic car totally undervalued by Vauxhall, it could never replace the Omega, but it isn't a Vectra.

The current Signum is marketed as a trim level of the new Vectra.

I think VX have finally admitted defeat by now markerting the two of them together.

It's still not helped, because I haven't seen a single facelifted Signum on the roads.

i must admit i wish i'd went for a signum now, much more exclusive, and like most of you said already, you very rarely see then anywhere other than the dealers forecourt.

Don't follow you! The brochure is produced a one brochure - New Vectra and New Signum - but the Signum is listed with it's own four trim levels.
