We're also looking to change out car this summer and the Zafira seems to best tick all our boxes. We were thinking of spending around the same amount as peccarollover, maybe a little more for later model with shoulder belts on all seats.
Am verrrrry nervous of buying from anyone who isn't a proper vauxhall dealership though as have been stung before when buying off a 'deals on wheels' type dealer. Am happy to pay a bit more for peace of mind iyswim.
Am going to look at a 2005 model next week. It is their demonstration model so is more or less new. The cost is £10,500 (ouch). The model is called a 'breeze' and it's a 1.6, with air con, CD player etc as standard.
So, is this a good price/deal, or would I be better looking for an 03 model which will be cheaper, and probably won't have too high a mileage either. We've never had a car this new before, but think we could manage the repayments on this amount (with px and a dep of around £1000) over 4-5 years as there are loads of good deals around on finance atm - much better than when we bought our current car 3 years ago. Any advice would be appreciated as this is a total minefield to me! TIA
