I am looking to buy a 7 seater and have found a zafira for £2650... on a 05 plate with 74000 miles....

I don't know anything about 7 seaters... is this a good buy or should I look for something else...

All help appreciated...

Why do you want/need a 7-seater - that the first thing you must determine.

They come in various sizes - few will actually seat 7 adults in comfort for long journeys, in fact I can only think of the Chrysler Voyager. There are several that will seat 5 adults plus 2 children/small adults and still be comfortable on a journey. The Zafira isn't one of those - it's fine for 2 adults and 5 children or 5 adults.

If you just want to do the school run it'll be fine.

Few 7-seaters have anything more than token luggage space when all 7 seats are in use, so you may need to fit a towbar and use a luggage trailer when you all go camping..

Vauxhall's Club trim is certainly lower spec than Design.
