Its true Vauxhall / Opel and Saab were the same chassis but, vauxhall's on the insignia which uses the epsilon 3 chassis. The saabs use the old vectra chassis therefore saab's are old and out of date.
saab's also have a far higher warranty claim record and feature very high on the breakdown recovery agents list of vehicles most frequently recovered.

Most manufacturers share parts bins so there aren't many mainstream models that are unique to a particular marque, AFAIK BMW and Merc don't share but you pay through the nose for the privilege.

They were able to provide the vehicle I wanted, with full service history (which I verified with Saab before handing over the cash) and said vehicle is now in my garage. And it's ace.
So - kudos TCS.
