Im quite happy with my 160 v6, but it will need belts in 30,000.

Id say try the 160, difference is minor until you pass the 90mph mark. Also the 180 auto is nice, but hard on juice.

£3-£4K should get you a nice spec 03 ZT190. Cambelt should have been done at six years old, or get £500 knocked off to do the job.

With your vectra as a PX you could get a late 05 facelift ZT190, or even a 260 V8.
