[Gal10]

Hi All, I 1st came to this forum when seriously thinking about whether to buy a Captiva. I wanted to see what problems owners were reporting and also, if possible, get a feel for whether the price I had been offered was good.

So I thought it might be interesting to start a thread to state what model/age Captiva we purchased and where we purchased it from. This will hopefully help others who - like me - are trying to decide to join the 'captivating world of the captiva' (sorry.. couldnt resist that ;-)

Please post only once, stating:

Price: £14500

Dealer: Nathaniel Car Sales, Bridgend (South Wales)

Date of Purchase:April 2010



Interestingly, bought 6 months (nearly) after bigianw, with same spec (LTX) and nearly same mileage, but £2k difference.... Does a second hand Captiva really depreciate that much

 

[bigiainw]

I don't think so, 08 LTX's are still being advertised at what you paid. Incidentaly, I got mine 5 months after you, not before. Mine was1 owner, from a lease fleetwith 10 mnths of 3 year warranty left and was by far the cheapest on offer in that spec- I would have paid more for an LT, but I wanted cruise and a newer car was beyonds my means at the time. I just think I got a really good deal and i'd buy another one at that moneyin an instant!

Doh... sorry bigianw, meant after....

 

[Chindley]

I pay £277 a month but thats on a 3 year lease

- I would have paid more for an LT, but I wanted cruise

Chevrolet must have changed the specsof the LT, making it more alike the highter model. Mine is an LT and it has cruise control, half leather, in-dash computer etc etc. Only difference between the LT and the top of the range, as I understand it,is the coloured bumper inserts (cosmetic skid plate), wing mirror mounted indicators and slighlty larger wheels... thus in my opinion making the LT better value for money (based on 2010/11 models).

Captiva Model: LT 7 seater
Year of Manufacture: 2010 (registered Sept 2010)
Mileage: 10

Price: £16999

Dealer: Arnold Clark, Glasgow


Date of Purchaseec 2010



Mine was a pre-registered model- was pleased with the deal I got. Nearly bought one from Motorpoint (at £15,500 unregistered !) but their LT 7 seaters were the older LT spec and were imports from Ireland which only have a 2 year warranty. Plus, Motorpoint was offering a lower trade in value for old car.

21,000 euros for our 2010 LS+7 in Spain. About 9 mnths old, ex demo and being used by the manager in the meantime. 9000km on the clock. As far as I can see, the LS+7 is the equivalent of the LT, it has 7 seats computer, half leather with leather gearstick and steering wheel. Only 2wd though.
Cars are expensive over here but we got an extra year's warranty giving us just over 3 years and the first service done for us. I've seen older ones for sale for more over here and they don't depreciate so much so we are hopedful for a few years of Captiva ownership!

no idea what you're talking about.....ahem...

 

[bigiainw]

Gal10- and the full leather! Yep, that was new for the 2010 model year, when the LTX became the LTZ.

Prior to that no cruise, no info centre, cloth seats, plain bumpers, no chrome tips on the exhausts on the LT- a bit plain looking if you ask me, and the colour i have, zest brwon, is no more as well! I would have a 2010 LT though if I had to change as it's got everythingI would want other than the full leather. Edited by: bigiainw

 

[Chindley]

Does the LT have the SatNav and media centreon it now? when I looked it was just thetrip computer.

 

[Gal10]

Mine is a 2010 LT and no, it doesnt have satnav, just the trip computer.

 

[bigiainw]

The trip computer is described as a driver info centee in the Chevy brochure. Having heard of the difficulties some have had with the LTZ sta nav, I'll stick with my Tom Tom thanks....
