hello everyone i am in the process of buying a 2008 1.8 sri 5 dr as a replacement for my honda civic as the civic is difficult to get my wifes wheel chair in the boot the vectra has a massive boot any advice or any other matters regarding the vectra would be appreciated cheers andy

[Robbie69]

sounds like a nice car and the boot IS massive, my only advice would be how much you paying? Can't think of anyother problems.

Oh and welcome to the site.

[neverlandandy]

Welcome to Vectra-C.com certainly bags of room as you have found .....

sorry i forgot to mention that the car is network Q it has done 17k and it is costing £8500

[Robbie69]

Not 100% but pretty sure you can get one for less than that.

As a 2008 Vectra C it may still be under its original warranty
This applies first until it has expired
My advise it to use this and report any and all faults, no matter how trivial
Even if they cannot be rectified if they return later then they will be recorded as no fault found and can be back dated

Equally, there is also a second and third year, and these should also apply unless you expect to do a high mileage (60K and 80K miles respectively)

You may receive a letter from Network Q recommending you extend the warranty for an additional 12 months
Based on the above there would be little point

The Network Q is good but they need to sharpen their pencil if you get my drift ....................

You can, but as a Network Q car they usually add on an extra £500 premium
As a result some dealerships don't even offer used cars on Network Q, and when you ask they wriggle and squirm to try and avoid it!

£8500 will probably be the trade-in value, undiscounted
Sadly this suggests the valuation for the trade in may be suspect
Anyway time to upgrade and move on!
