SIGNUM 2.8 Turbo

[millard2004]

Hi everyone, I am thinking of buying a 2.8 Turbo Signum, Auto, Elite.
Any points to note about the engine? Is it very thirsty,expensive to run? Also this car is listed as a Cat D Insurance settlement. Anyone enlighten me on how risky that would be to buy? looks a really nice car in the piccys is an 57 plate with 19,000 on the clock.

its a rapid motor , i'd guess it'll be a thirsty begger ?? cat D should be a bit of panel damage but can be suspension too ! is it cheap ??

Expensive tax, low 20's mpg, reliable engine if fully serviced and extremely good fun.

or maybe even just broken windows/locks but the insurance had already paid out before the car was recovered. Gonna be a nice motor

true ! could be stolen recovered ?? the auto box would put me off

Its advertised at £5,850. Thought the mpg would be low, currently got a 2.2 petrol Signum which gets around 35mpg. Boring I know but petrol is just soooo expensive these days.
Can you find out what the reason for the Cat D was? The seller is a small dealer who bought from Ins Companies auction and doesn,t know exactly why, but did have a front wing replaced due to a dent!!

its a bit dear for a cat D bud , motors like that arent selling without an insurance claim ! my suggestion is find a 2.0T signum , plenty of power as standard and very tunable !

Or a 3.0 V6 diesel - 40bhp less but 40mpg... whistle

3.0 diesel tuned would probably get that 40 bhp .

Mine 26mpg since I've had it (12k miles).

Reliable, quick, easy to service (do it myself - no cambelts), head turner (not everyone's got one!).

If you can stomach the fuel consumption and the tax they're sen-bl**dy-sational !!!!!!!

Usually cheap to buy, seems gas guzzlers are not in favour any more !!!!
