Verdict
Roadster deux places à moteur 2.0 turbo de 264 ch, très peu diffusé, au coffre quasi inexistant (141 litres selon Caroom, capote repliée). Les retours publiés sont rares : une seule source (CarVerif) signale des défauts d'électronique d'airbag et un tendeur de chaîne de distribution fragile. Peu d'annonces et pas de cote fiable : faites contrôler la voiture à fond.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2009: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Inspection checklist
Opel GT II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Écouter le démarrage à froid : un claquement de chaîne signale un tendeur fatigué.
- Demander la facture du remplacement du tendeur de chaîne de distribution (conseillé vers 90 000 km).
- Vérifier l'absence de voyant ou de message d'airbag au tableau de bord.
- Contrôler le fonctionnement et l'étanchéité de la capote manuelle.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien complet : la série est limitée et les pièces peuvent être difficiles à trouver.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le tendeur de chaîne de distribution a-t-il été remplacé, et à quel kilométrage ?
- Le voyant ou le message d'airbag s'est-il déjà allumé ?
- La voiture a-t-elle un historique d'entretien complet dans le réseau Opel ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
No direct electric or hybrid equivalent in our guides. Simulate combustion vs electric cost

Before you buy: check and equip
Check the history
Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.
Read fault codes
An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the Opel GT II (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
