My car's a Vectra!!

KO52ARY · 4th September 2009, 19:42

Hi all

New member here. I feel a bit of a fraud though, as I drive a Vauxhall Vec***!!

I had a beautiful black Connoisseur for three years from 2000 but a change of job meant a change in company car options and it was a Ve*tra ... or a Vect**.

But, since then .... every time I see a 75 on the road my jealousy has grown and grown and I can resist it no longer...... I need to drive one again.

I've been searching for a while but found nothing so far that matches exactly what I'm looking for. I fancy a black, diesel, auto with sat nav from about 2003 or 2004. Perhaps I need to extend my range of colours as I've been looking for month's without success!!

Any tips for where to look?

Hi there, welcome to the forums, just looking on autotrader there are currently 38 connoisseur diesel autos! No black ones though.
Have you looked at ebay?

As soon as you buy one a load will all come together

Hang on ... I don't think that hens have any teeth.

It's examples with sat nav seem to be the problem. I need sat nav but I don't want a separate accessory stuck to my windscreen.

I've bought loads of kit on ebay but somehow I don't feel as though I can trust ebay sellers with cars. If I had a car to sell, I don't think I'd sell it on there. I will start looking though.

I've only been searching Autotrader but, since January, no luck.
