  • Insignia B Sports Tourer newbie

    Hi all. Recently purchased a 67 plate B Sports Tourer with only 7k on the clock. It's a 1.6 Turbo D SRI nav in lava red. A few choice options fitted including full winter pack, driver assistance pack 4 and Intellilux headlights.
    Car was originally a long term test car for Autotrader. Can be seen on their YouTube channel. I am on a private plate now but was very surprised when I saw it on there. Dealer had no idea of that fact either, they thought it had come directly from Vauxhall as a management car.
    So far so good, hopefully will continue.

    Welcome Yatesy, good choice of colour, hope you have many years of enjoyment


    Mind you, having since looked at the Autotrader review, the guy seems to have run it from March to September 2018 and done 6680 miles, so has it been in storage since then?

        MD of the dealer bought it in to use and said he had done minimal miles in it. Strange how some cars end up sitting somewhere.

            Yeah, mine was a year old when I got it, one previous owner (Vauxhall) with 1700 miles on the clock. And it was half the price of the same spec new when I put it through the configurator.

              Hi,

              I know I'm biased but by far the best colour Insignia. Don't get me wrong. Other colours are lovely but a freshly washed/waxed red is something special.

                  I was biding my time on that one...

                    Saddle up MR Yatsey. And enjoy the low down showdown.
                    Get some pictures up I've never seen a red insignia.

                      If you can make it to Rother Valley in a couple of weeks, us Lava Red fanatics could put on a great show.

                        Maybe you should change your username to "THE UNDERTAKER"
