Vectra sales on the rise

We know we're into the silly season for news now, but this is ridiculous.

The Vauxhall Vectra has jumped in sales by a massive 263 per cent compared with this time last year.

After picking ourselves off the floor and dusting off last week's pie wrappers, we read that the Vectra found 954 willing and eager private buyers last month.

This has contributed to Vauxhall leading the chart for private sales in July 2006.

Vauxhall attributes the success to the Vectra's fine drive, excellent equipment and competitive pricing.

We reckon it's got more to do with the whopping discounts available at the mere whiff of haggling.
