How long is a piece of string?

It depends on what model Insignia, what engine, what optional extras, etc.

Impossible for anyone here to give you exact numbers on that.

Also, there is currently a long thread here about the Insignia.

How much did it cost them to trade last time? Take that figure, triple it and you're probably not far off.

No one, yet alone a dealer with a forecourt full of cars he's loosing money on, wants a 1.6 Opel Vectra.

Unfortunately you will get a very, very poor trade in for the Vectra. There are so many 05-08 Vectra's / Mondeo's / Avensis' etc around.
We were in the same situation with an 05 Vectra a few months ago and the offers were pitiful - can only be worse now!

The bog bog standard Insignia is around 26k. They go up in price from there, depending on model, engine, options, etc.

Have to say, Geoff from Joe Duffy motors (North Road, Dublin) is brilliant to deal with. Looking forward to collecting my Insignia SRi from him.
