Gallnas,Dalsland–spring morning May 2014

Car buying? Trollhattan's the place!

This is my latest purchase. I needed a car with 7 seats and capabilities to take long luggage when the seats are down. I am truly amazed that I did not buy a Japanese/Korean car (as I favour Hyundai/Mitsubishi). This is the first European car I have bought in 14 years. It's an Opel Zafira 2006 model.

I am very pleased with it. It's 1.9  diesel engine  (my first ever diesel in over 40 years of motoring) is amazing and given the size of the engine and the car I was astounded to average 5.7 litres per 100 kms on my first journey (when I picked up the car) over a distance of 141 kms – on country roads mainly.

This is the 3rd car I have bought from ANA Motorcentrum in Trollhattan.A brand new Hyundai Getz Cross(which we still have, 5 years old and no problems), an old Mitsubishi Space Wagon which I ran for over 4 years with no major problems (it was a low cost runabout/working car).

Only the 2nd dealership I have actually trusted in all my years of motoring. If you click on the image below this next picture, you can come to Motorcentrum if you are interested. Niklas is a great guy with whom to do business. I am very, very satisfied with the deal I got…yet again…3rd time!
