vauxhall newbie thinking of a meriva

Post by timmy toad on Wed Jul 14, 2010 10:20 pm

hi all, i am attracted to the meriva as it is easy to get in and out of and it is small enough for the missus to handle easily.

i have been looking on Auto Trader for a few days but am getting a bit confused by all the different models, Life and Envoy + another . the Life being the cheapest, i see some of these have a cassette player as standard, good grief.

Some have 8 valves some have 16 valves.

A few have alloy wheels, and there seems to a lot of diffent engine sizes etc.

is there somewhere that possibly lists all the different stuff in a logical order, i am trying to find one that costs about £3,000 below average miles, with a cd player etc.

dont know much about the meriva to be honest mate but i would think your best bet would be looking for a dedicated meriva forum (if there is such a thing)
but i hope you find the one you want and welcome to vxuk

I really thought 8 valves were a thing of the past LOL, obviously not.

I was a bit miffed to find that the tax is £235 a year. which is more than my outgoing 1.8L Rover 45 (W reg.)
