Real brand name is Opal Vectra rebadged to Holden. Nothing to do with Holden engineering except a badge & franchise dealer

If you want to take the risk and dump it when something major breaks and live with a lot of niggly faults before that happens then go ahead. They're a cheaply made disposable European car that's not that easy or cheap to fix depending on where you source parts from, and a misery to live with. I'm surprised its even still going.

Its an OPEL Vectra with some holden badges glued on. nothing but trouble has been the feedback Ive had

Just to be obtuse. It's also a Vauxhall in UK and has good rep. Some Holden ones were made in Aussie and the one I know is being very very reliable and putting up with lots of abuse over in golden bay. With that many miles any car can be a nightmare and if it's very cheap, going, and warrantable then what have you got to lose?

Your message heading is an oxymoron

Wel yes they are a time bomb but as said above if its 500-1000 with warrant and rego then all good as long as it lasts then dump.

Would the ASTRA 1.8 2006 be crap ? Thanks for everyones advice

Astra is rebadged like the Vectra, just another Opel. I had an earlier model one. It died suddenly. Suspect service history, it was cheap and the mere male wanted it because at the time it was the closest thing he'd get to a Commodore not.

Turn and Run for the hills the seller may chase you but they wont stand a chance once you get to the hill.

Not sure why you are so set on astras. they are crap. end of story. just because someone glued a holden badge on one does not make them somehow worth it. walk away.
