Am due to collect my Astra today, a 64 reg, registered in January 2015, it’s the SRI model, 2.0 diesel with 165ps... having only covered just 22,500 I paid £7,250 from a main dealer (advertised at £8,995), the bodywork is very decent? However showing some swirls, my plan is to polish and wax it on my next few days off work.
Also have purchased a DTUK tuning box (plenty of insignia/Astra people swear by them and many covered over 100,000 miles... should bump me upto 210ps with 460lb of torque...
Also purchased some headlight bulb upgrades as I remember how crap my originals were on my last insignia.
Looking forward to a different daily, the mini has been great, but a cheaper car is needed, plus I won’t care about the miles building up on the Astra.
