I appreciate it comes with the BMW tax but I went to look at it and the car is immaculate. He will let it go for closer to the 10k Mark.

Thoughts?

How much are Insignia's going for? Sister has one and for a Vauxhall, i'm seriously impressed with it, comfy, looks great and the 2L diesel has quite a bit of poke to it.

1 Series has a pretty poor spec, in the worst colour and with a very mediocre engine.

Plus it gives you next to none of the refinement and space benefits that the mondeo will (how did you even end up looking at one?), whilst being old generation.

Must admit I get Insignias quite a lot as hire cars and find them perfectly pleasant , if a bit uninspiring!

I just bought an Insignia - 61 plate, 30k on it, 2.0 CDTI (160) SRI.... lovely spec with all the sports extras, nav, f/r e/w etc... Cost me £9k.

Still struggling to find anything, everything I look at has something a bit funny. My car is really on its last legs now.

A higher mileage insignia near me looks good, thoughts?

Looks alright to me.

Aren't Insignia's terrible?

MissChief · 21 Dec 2014 at 21:29

I think they're 'functional' rather than inspiring. Thought about a 2.4 diesel alfa 159?

Hard to see how thats anything other than a great buy. Nice car for £5k that.
