Woop! Just bought a new car.

After a lot of internet searching and a couple of garage visits, today I found my new car.

It's a 1.8 petrol metallic black Vauxhall Zafira Elegance (which means full spec with air con, abs, power steering, electric everythings, heated everythings, 16" alloys, sunroof, remote locking, alarm, remote stereo, tinted windows, nice trim inside etc etc) on a 54 plate. Comes with a comprehensive time of ownership warranty as well which is a huge bonus.

Hopefully collect it early next week.

Sounds excellent Ben.

Will you have it to drive to the meet-up?

Benner · **Reply #3 on:** May 14, 2010, 04:48:49 PM

Yup. Hopefully collecting it early next week.

This journey will be a bit more comfortable Mike.

Very nice! Definitely a Plushmobile. The kids are gonna be pimpin' in that ride.

That looks great Ben

Quite a few at work have a Zafira; even with all seven seats in use there is plenty of space

Tinted windows are definite plus with young kids. Brother in Law has his Mondeo done with a really dark tint and it looks amazing

Best of luck to you and your motor

Pro's and con's with diesel. In the end I set out looking for a decent clean example and that is what I found.

As long as my arse is comfy on the way to the meet, I don't care

That is certainly one of the advantages of being on your side of the pond. You have some wonderful cars with style. Wishing you many happy years of motoring with that beauty.

Neil · **Reply #20 on:** May 14, 2010, 09:21:19 PM

Nice car Ben

If you're planning on keeping it for a while (and with that spec I would be) you might want to look at the dual fuel option. Basically where the spare is at present they fit a gas cylinder. makes for cheap motoring in the long run but only worth the outlay if you're hanging on to it for a few years.

Benner · **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2010, 09:27:38 PM

My first buy will be a set of roof bars and a roof box for our hols. Will have a look into that though.

DaveK · **Reply #22 on:** May 14, 2010, 10:25:40 PM

Congrats Ben

nuphoria · **Reply #23 on:** May 14, 2010, 11:00:20 PM

Cool.... definitely a suitable ride for a breeder

Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! · **Reply #24 on:** May 14, 2010, 11:26:33 PM

Can you fold the seats down and sleep in that thing?

Got the call today my car is ready for collection

Picking it up in the morning.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2010, 07:45:37 AM

Give it a proper test ride before the meet then

Benner · **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2010, 01:37:07 PM

Well I have given it a little ~~spanking~~ test today.

Drives real nice.

Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! · **Reply #29 on:** May 19, 2010, 07:00:43 PM

Happy Days

Now it's up to Mike to find a new name for it...
