Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Looking for a Vauxhall/Opel Signum. less than 70,000 miles must be 1.9cdti 150bhp model (as denoted by the red "ti" in CDti) up to £6500. Just thought if someone noticed one in the garage on the forecourt for sale down the road from them they'd be good enough to let me know. Im already looking in the national advertisers, Ebay, autotrader, etc. Now bought a Vectra, thanks for the tips everyone. Signum no longer required.

Shuviteer Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Looking for a Vauxhall/Opel Signum. less than 70,000 miles must be 1.9cdti 150bhp model (as denoted by the red "ti" in CDti) up to £6500.

This any good, cheap and you could use the rest of your budget to sort it out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-VAUXHALL-SIGNUM-DESIGN-CDTI-150-BLACK-NO-SWAP-/200477888603?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2ead69d05b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks for the tip. Id considered it, but the miles are just too high for the money "her indoors" wants to spend. I can see a new engine being required for that one in the not to distant future and whoever does the work it'll be a 2 grand job. Signums are a car that was bought by people that did rocketship miles or next to no miles. Keeping a very keen eye on ebay, motors, pistonheads, autotrader, exchange and mart. I think the car i want will be privately for sale by its original owner. Its out there somewhere, just not advertised nationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta400john Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Saw a 120horse model for sale, can they not be chipped up to 150? http://edinburgh.gumtree.com/edinburgh/08/59701708.html John. Edited June 8, 2010 by manta400john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 be wary of the 1.9cdti I have that engine in my Zafira and at 44k its looking to be in need of its 3rd DPF which at £1200 a throw is not funny plus Vauxhall have a 6 week wait for the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 The 120 engine is 8v and the 150 engine is 16v Although early astra H (and only astra H) 120 engines are 16v and can be re-mapped to 150 or even to 170. A 16v 1.9cdti engine has the oil filler cap on the n/s of the engine cover and the 8v has it on the o/s. I tend to pick up this sort of nerd info when researching things!

Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 With Signums being ultra rare, we (she) have bought a 1.9cdti vectra design. 2005 55 reg. New shape, Half leather seats 61,000 miles black, lady owner £4K. Im just pleased she didn't spent £6500 on a car!!! The guy we bought it off had a Monaro for sale £13k really really nice, and at £13k it sold instantly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I have a 1.9 cdti 150 design, 2007 60k, superb motor, it's the 4th Vekky I have had. next year when it's time to change I will have to have a big think about either a Beemer 3 series or a new Insignia thing. You should get good service from the Vectra Design, I have done about 150k without a hint of trouble from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
