Price is a little high I personally think. But damn this car looks really nice. V6 power as well.

I always liked those well enough, but have always heard the four-cylinder is a better choice than that 3.0.

Dat 54 degree British built V6. They had big problems with oil coolers and cam belt tensioners on Cateras, not sure about the L series. Occasional valve cover gaskets needed. Hope its had a timing belt job sometime before 179k miles! I DID like the fact that you could still get a manual on the L series/Vectra B.

If I recall correctly, that V6 was shared with the Cadillac Catera and was basically an Opel unit that was and is hard to find parts for since it wasn't sold in the U.S. long.

I've always though there were attractive cars. Glad I'm not the only one!
I'll bring it up later with the parental units.

Since your van's brakes are trying to murder you, you'll have a valid argument point!

also, the 3L v6 supposedly has 208hp. That is a pretty damn good amount of power!

well, according to Wikipedia...
It might be refereeing to the SAAB version of the engine, which was turbocharged, and used in the 9-5

That might be. But still. My girlfriend's Taurus only makes 157 and it weighs more than this does by a good amount.

CP the price is way too high for that ammount of miles. On the plus side these things are so popular at my High School.
