    As this hasn't been put up yet...…..
    "The engines with timing chains susceptible to elongation were produced from January 2006 to engine build date 18 May 2007 (18/5/2007); this production range corresponded to engine numbers between H053340001 and H071380576."
    This info is from my personal VZ records, but is here on the forum for those using the 'search'.

    My advice would be for a VY as explained by others above. The VZ is quicker in the overtaking acceleration speed range, but you won't be doing mad overtaking moves, will you ?

    That's actually a good bit of advice about when looking at a car.
    When you get there see if it is still cold.
    If its warm it could be masking a problem such as cold rattles and squeaks.

    There's probably just as many horror stories as good for either model. For that sort of money look for one with good paint and bodywork, then a good interior and engine without obvious major dramas. High mileage isn't a bad thing, just like low miles doesn't mean not flogged. Some things can be fixed as needed, others can't. They are still a good honest car that are reliable and easy to work on.
