is £700 for t reg vauxhall zafirra a good deal

Hi, as title suggests, is £700 for a T reg vauxhall zafirra a good deal, it is a diesel only done 48,000 miles got a years mot, 6 months tax and has just had a new cambelt fitted, has 7 seats and is in good condition, i got a feeling i already know the answer, just wanting to make sure, only drawback is it is a 2.5l but i am sure i can live with that:D

TIA

IMHO probably just about right.

If it has a decent Service history with it i'd say even more so.

Nice low mileage!

plus have only really got about £700 to play with, so this fits the bill perfectly:), we got a P reg vectra estate at the moment which is a big squeeze i can tell you, only just get the doors shut:eek:, never get all 3 of them in back when he goes into proper car seat, and it is broken at moment, and will cost upwards of £500 to fix so is not either economical or practical to get it fixed, especially with the mrs already on about number 4:eek:

With that kinda use you should probably consider the effective mileage a bit higher then, IYSWIM, as towing puts much more strain on clutch, engine etc, but still sounds pretty good.
Have you driven it? As its a diesel you shouldn't worry about it being a 2.5. Won't feel anything like a 2.5 petrol, if that's what you're thinking.

EDIT: Are you sure its a 2.5? Not a 2.0? Parkers reckons a 2.5 zafira doesn't exist.

Yeah we've got a volvo estate but my kids are 7 and 6 (Twins are 6) so we can get away with just booster seats.

We had a 2.3l petrol galaxy a while back and the cost was crucifying, OH has now decided he wants a 7 seat Landrover (will have to be old, out budget's not much more than yours) though I'm trying to get him to buy a diesel galaxy or similar cos I really don't want to be seen as a dozy tart in a chelsea tractor
