Could have done with a wash and a hoover..
However these are unreliable yokes even when regularly washed and hoovered!

Small engine, and low enough mileage, might be tough but try and get it for 1500, great car for anyone starting

These should be posted here more.
Best thing about this one is all that lovely petrol

Hate seeing cars advertised with no fuel at all, don't know why.

The only thing embarrassing is that the ignition is not on, so none of us know how much fuel is left in the tank

If that Vectra is genuinely as nice condition wise as it looks in those pictures - then id say 750 euro isn't ridiculously overpriced.

What are the big things to watch out for on these - I know the Mk 3 cavalier - which is this car just with a different badge - has a reputation for rusting rear arches - what are the other issues.

Is the 1.6 on this the Ecotec???.

I used to buy one of these every few months 4 years ago. Problems would include engine managment light usually on..best ignored usually!, rusted sills and as you said arches. The 1.7td Izuzu engined cavalier/vectra was a better bet than the petrol engines.

Thanks a million for that

.

I know that you can only see a small bit of the steering wheel in the photos of that car - but from what you can see - do you think that looks like the right steering wheel for that car???.

Thanks

That looks like a steering wheel out of a Gsi (2ltr sports model) Its definitely not the same as a 94 model with the airbag. Its posibly the right one. The ones I had either had were Vauxhall with the airbag or were gsi/sri with a wheel like that. I never had an Opels of that vintage..it could be typical Irish poverty spec.

166man · 16-06-2013 07:21PM

I like this.... Such a sleeper. Get it for €1k and it could be a bit of fun, is it turbo though? Always thought these were N/A...

colm_mcm · 16-06-2013 07:26PM

Registration 00D34352
Make VOLKSWAGEN
Model PASSAT
Description 2.8 V6
Fuel Type PETROL

No mention of a turbo there
Or on the engine cover.

I'd imagine the 1 owner from new isn't the guy selling it.

Toyotafanboi · 16-06-2013 07:28PM

is that the same engine as used in the vr6 golf?

Yep reckon they're just N/A... Pity because a turbo could have made it a very fun/interesting car indeed. Remap the bejaysus out of it..

That's what I was thinking - that it wasn't the airbag wheel, the thing is I thought the airbag was standard in 94 - but im probably thinking of Uk Cavaliers.

Quite possible the airbag was optional, is there anyway of finding out the exact spec that a particular Opel had from the factory in the way you can do with BMWs and (modern) Fords.

From what I recall - the airbag was optional on the 1993 model - so even if the 94s had it as standard - this may be a left over car from 1993 (not sold) in the same way that back in the day - there was Nissan Bluebirds registered in 1991 even though the replacement Primera arrived in 1990.

I know it shouldn't be a big deal on a 750 euro car - but to be honest id happily drive that car if it never had an airbag - but id be concerned if it had an airbag at some point but now doesn't have an airbag steering wheel - like if the car originally had the airbag and doesn't have the airbag steering wheel anymore - why would it have been replaced.

Hardly makes it a skanger car, the tint is easily removed.
Could have been a factory extra too, seeing as it's not just Paddyspec.
