Looking to buy a 2003 Vauxhall Antara car? Used Car Expert has thousands of 2003 Vauxhall cars for sale from 2003 Vauxhall car dealers and private sellers across the UK.
The Vauxhall Antara is essentially a Chevrolet Captiva - which is itself a Deawoo Winstorm. It makes sense as a Chevy but really it's not worth it's relatively high new asking price and has not sold that well. Used prices are soft as a consequence.
The Vauxhall Antara is a capable car but it isn't half dull. It handles ok, drives ok, accommodates ok, looks ok - it's just ok. That's all.
The diesel engine is one of the best features so get one of those which is lucky because there is no petrol. All the cars are well equipped and all are fairly handy when the going gets rough.
S or SE spec is more than enough. Pay £500 or so more for an auto - worth doing as the box is good.
Pay 12,000 for a 4 year old car with less than 60,000 miles on the clock.
Buy at 3 years. Depreciation is quite heavy until then.
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Vauxhall Antara you would aim to buy a 3 year old and you can keep it for some time before needing to worry about a big drop in value.
Diesel Vauxhall Antara cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Petrol Vauxhall Antara cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Petrol Vauxhall Antara cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
