Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Opel Combo shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Opel Combo offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Opel Combo at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Opel Combo? Wrong! If the Opel Combo is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Opel Combo then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Opel Combo? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Opel Combo and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Opel Combo wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Opel Combo then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Opel Combo site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Opel Combo, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Opel Combo, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

{{Infobox Automobile|name = Opel Combo|manufacturer = General Motors / [leisure activity vehicle-->The Combo is a [panel van and leisure activity vehicle from General Motors Corporation, which is branded as Opel, Vauxhall Motors, Holden and Chevrolet, depending on the market.

The Combos share platforms, vital components and some body panels with contemporary subcompact Opel Corsas, which used to be a typical pedigree for such a vehicle. The generations are denoted A and B in typical Opel fashion, but Holden applied the codes SB and XC respectively, reflecting the relation with SB and XC Holden Barinas (Opel Corsa B and C, respectively)

The Combo first appeared in 1994, and a second generation model was introduced in 2001.The name "Combo" was previously applied to a 3-door panel van body style of Opel Kadett#Kadett E.

Combo A {{Infobox Automobile generation|image = |name = Combo A|production = 1994–2001|platform = GM4200 platform|aka = Vauxhall Combo
Holden Combo (SB)
Chevrolet Combo|body_style = 3-door panel van
3-door leisure activity vehicle-->The first generation of Combo, launched in 1994, was derived out of [Opel Corsa#Opel Corsa B, launched two years earlier. The front part (up to the B-pillar) is practically identical with the Corsa (except for the roof spoiler), but the platform (and thus wheelbase and the body in general) is extended to accommodate a tall, boxy cargo compartment, capable of carrying an pallet. The Combo A had symmetrical twin rear doors that opened to the side (rather than a single tailgate). These are counted as a single "door" when referring to the body style as 3-door.

Following the increasing popularity of leisure activity vehicles, Opel launched a 5-passenger version of the Combo in 1995, called Opel Combo Tour. It differed from the panel van version by having the cargo section fitted with side windows and a three-passenger split-folding bench seat.

Although Combo's primary market is Europe, it has also been sold on other continents, in markets where GM traditionally use Opel-derived models. As the Azambuja GM plant in Portugal is the sole production site of all Combos, all those models were replaced simultaneously with Combo B in 2001.

Combo B {{Infobox Automobile generation|name = Combo B|image = |production = 2001–present|platform = GM Gamma platform|aka = Vauxhall Combo
Holden Combo (XC)
Chevrolet Combo|body_style = 4/5-door panel van

[Opel Meriva
Chevrolet Montana-->The second generation was launched in 2001. While most competitors severed their connections with their subcompact brethren, Opel decided to base the vehicle off a Corsa again. The use of subcompact GM Gamma platform constrained the overall width of the vehicle. While the general body shape was updated to fashionable "flush" look, the front part (up to the A-pillar) is shared with the Corsa. Compared to previous generation, the Combo B gained sliding rear side doors (versions with either single passenger side door or double doors are available).

An Opel Combo Tour version was also introduced, followed by Opel Combo Tour Tramp (Combo Tour Arizona in some markets), in an attempt to attract leisure activity vehicle buyers. Combo Tour Tramp/Arizona was thought as a more off-road recreational vehicle. It features enhanced suspension tuning, increased ground clearance, chassis protection covers and numerous styling details that differentiate it from standard Combo Tours, with the intention to conjure a sturdy, outdoor-sports-related image. The Combo Tour is not offered by Vauxhall in the UK.

Commercial van versions retained the symmetrical twin rear doors, while the Tour versions have an option of a single tailgate (opening to the top). The tailgate is standard on Tour Tramp/Arizona.

In 2006, the Azambuja, Portugal factory shut down and the production of the Opel Combo transferred to Zaragoza, Spain.
