1997 (P) VAUXHALL ASTRA 2.0i SPORT 5DR
P/X CAR TO CLEAR - WITH NO RESERVE!
IF YOU HAVE NO FEEDBACK, DO NOT BID!
RE-LISTED DUE TO TIMEWASTER WHO BID THEN IMMEDIATLY BACKED OUT OF TRANSACTION - DON'T BID UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO COMPLETE!
The reason this car is on here with no reserve is simple - it is a relatively cheap car that came to me in p/x - I know that with my 100% accurate and honest appraisal below it will make its true value here on ebay. We are a professional business selling used cars (FIND OUR WEBSITE!) therefore I will mention all faults so we all know where we stand. I took this car in p/x against another vehicle and always HPI all cars I deal with. IT IS NOT ON HERE BECAUSE IT HAS A DUBIOUS HISTORY, MAJOR FAULT OR HPI PROBLEM LIKE A LOT OF CARS YOU WILL FIND ON EBAY! REST ASSURED, IF THE CAR WASN'T ROADWORTHY, THIS ADVERT WOULD NOT EXIST!
HERE IS GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE ASTRA 'SPORT' - A GENUINE EXAMPLE TAKEN IN P/X AGAINST A NEWER VEHICLE. THESE ARE GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY IN MY OPINION - ITS AN EXTREMELY WELL SPEC'D, SPORTY, FAIRLY QUICK CAR WITH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND RELIABLITY! THIS CAR IS MECHANICALLY SOUND AND EVERYTHING WORKS!
THIS IS A HIGH SPEC CAR - IT HAS A/C (WORKS PERFECT), POWER STEERING, ELEC WINDOWS, ELEC MIRRORS, CENTRAL LOCKING, SONY CD PLAYER, VERY TIDY ALLOYS WITH VERY GOOD TYRES ALL ROUND AND MUCH MORE - IT HAS MOT UNTIL NOV 08, I HAVE THE SPARE KEY, LOADS OF SERVICE HISTORY, SOME PREVIOUS MOTS.
THIS CAR HAS ONLY JUST ARRIVED AND I AM AWAITING THE V5 LOGBOOK - YOU WILL GET A FULL INVOICE, HPI CERT., MOT ETC AND IT WILL BE FORWARDED ON IN DUE COURSE, OR WORST SCENARIO YOU CAN APPLY FOR A NEW ONE - I GUARANTEE, EITHER WAY YOU WILL GET ONE, I WOULD BE BREAKING THE LAW AS A DEALER OTHERWISE!
HPI CLEAR WITH FULL REPORT, LAST OWNER FOR 3YRS
GREAT SERVICE HISTORY - HAD NEW WATER PUMP @ 90K, NEW BRAKE PIPES @ 95K, NEW SUSPENSION ARMS, SERVICE AND MOT @ 102K
LOOK ELSEWHERE, SOME DEALERS ARE ASKING £1000+ FOR CARS LIKE THIS, THIS IS HERE WITH NO RESERVE!
EXTERIOR - The car is finished in METALLIC CHARCOAL BLACK, I would describe the overall condition as being 'GOOD'' - NOT MINT but a lot better than a lot of P REG cars out there. The panels are all original and on the whole its a nice looking car - All panel gaps are good and the car appears to be fairly original.
INTERIOR - The cloth trim is VERY GOOD - Again, it is clear to see this car has not been abused, the seats are fine with no rips, tears or burns, even the seat bolsters are good! IF YOU ARE FUSSY, BUDGET FOR A LIGHT VALET TO REFRESH THE INTERIOR, its not bad and doesn't smell of smoke or anything but could do with a 'once over'.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW - The car is 100% reliable, it starts on the button hot or cold, the engine is very responsive, it doesn't knock, rattle and smoke like a lot, it sounds very good! The engine bay is clean and it hasn't seen a drop of water, no leaks to be seen anywhere apart from a small rocker cover gasket imperfection (you won't bother) - The owner drove this car a good distance to me and when it got here I checked the water and oil and everything was perfect. On the whole the car drives superb! The gearbox is smooth, the steering is nice and light and the car drives totally straight. It really goes very well and handles a dream! All electrics work perfect, aircon is ICE COLD!
FAULTS - STONE CHIPS, MINOR SCUFFS, RUST AROUND DRIVERS FRONT ARCH DOWN TO THE SILL, LAQUER PEEL AROUND FUEL FILLER ETC ETC - NOTHING MAJOR!
You are possibly buying a car with over 104k on the clock and 11 yrs old so please apply some common sense IT WILL HAVE SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR, YOU ARE NOT BUYING A NEW CAR! - I am being over critical here because I want you to be happy with the car.
Finally, my reputation is worth more than the cars value! So if you get here, and its not as described, please be assured I will not expect you to complete the transaction - BUT YOU WILL NEED A GOOD REASON! THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SILLY EXCUSES (ie. my my house sale fell through, my wife left me, death in the family etc I HAVE HEARD THEM ALL!) NO TIMEWASTERS PLEASE!
BEST OF LUCK! - DAVID, 07974243959
