    Vehicle : Vectra C OPC Estate

    Trim : OPC / VXR

    Engine : Z28NET

    Year : 2006

    Default Possibly bye of a 56 plate VXR

    Yes I have now tried the VXR that I was lokking to swap with my diesel V6 CDTi, and what a car... It feels great and the colour Arden Blue is sooo nice.. The car is well kept and the owner is 45 years old, so I believe that is has not been "overdriven"

    It gives you a pull back in the seats at 2100 revs and then again at approx 4000 rev again.. I can see in other threads that, that is normal.. The miles is 60.000 and it feels like new.
    One thing I´ve noticed is that putting it in 2nd. can be a little hard.. No rattle or dattle, the car is just not happy about it.. Maybe new transmission oil can make it go easier in 2nd.

    Yes I am going to swap it for my V6 CDTi.. the wife is also looking forward to collect it the week after this week.

    After the testdrive there was no point of return.. It´s not the fastest car I have driven, but damn it´s a nice car to drive and the drive feeling is fantastic... I have been VXR´ed/ OPC´ed and hooked...

    The extras that it lacks from the car I have now, dosen´t count that much. I will get the extras I want when time and money is for it. Xenon/AFL with black sorround, DVD90 or NAV70 with colour display.
    It has IDS, heated seats, power windows, power wingmirrors, dual zone climate control and nice VXR/OPC seats in black leather

    @Kenp. The buyer have noticed the irmy steering wheel.. Sorry
