Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Check that the horn works and that no airbag warning light is on. Ask whether the steering column module was repaired.
- On a Z16XER or Z18XER, listen for a rattle at start-up on a cold engine. Ask for proof of cam phaser and valve work.
- Ask an Opel dealer (Vauxhall in the UK) to check the car's VIN for the Takata airbag recall. The repair is free.
