Is this a good buy?

My mate has offered his 07-plate Vauxhall Vectra 1800 Life with 40,000 miles for £3000.

I know the car and he has had it for two years with no problems. Should I buy? Any big problems you know of with this car?

Book price on a Vectra with that spec is around £4500 in a private sale, so it looks like you're getting a good deal - especially if you know the car. That Vectra was a reasonable car - roomy and comfortable.
