I believe Albs swears by them. My astra is very tatty, and I'm bored with it. Cheap Kadjar might be the way to go, it's only for transporting muttley.

Oh......diesel, of course :)

Treat yourself Steve , some bargains to be had 👍

Cheap as chips and will do nicely as mobile dog kennel. I'll even get my back seats back

I see it's got a 7 day money back guarantee. That'll be good for when it breaks down. :D. Joking aside, that looks a very good price. How much is the VED?

I wouldn't bother, Ron, your vectra will outlast you ;D

A word of warning. Spain has been told to put up duty on the devils fuel ( or not get the next tranche of recovery money).
Could the UK follow suit to please whoever?
-
You could at least buy one in a nasty colour so that we can take the piss! :P
Although a 1.6 diesel won't be able to pull the skin off a rice pudding. ;D

I have never, ever tried to pull the skin off a rice pudding in any of my cars. So I shouldn't have a problem.

In theory no because we're not, currently, in the EU.

I guess at your age driving a gutless car isn't a problem either? ::) :)

If you go for it, insist they make sure its got the latest software on the infotainment system, they are a bit temperamental at best, and need to be on the absolute latest release.
Check everything works, usual French electrics stuff
-
Remember to haggle....
£6250 with a full tank of derv and an extended warranty sounds about right. :y
Colour is good even though it is an 'ugly f*ucker' much like it's new owner.
What is happening to the Astra?

The astra will be chopped in. He'll probably try to get me to go to WBAC with it, it's certainly destined for the block. But I'll convince him he really wants it ;D

Our daughters father in law had one from new had no problems at all he always had Renault's, retired 2 years ago & treated himself to a new BMW & regrets it especially all the messages that keep popping up.

66 plate, registered on 31/12, so one day off a 66 2017.

Ah. I see.
So, in effect, you will be exchanging a 2016 Vauxhall for a broadly comparable 2016 frenchie.
Unless WBAC or the dealer will offer you around £5500 for your Astra (which they won't) I would struggle with the economic disparity.
Perhaps do as Rangie suggests......spend £30-£100 on a proper valet to remove the pong of muttley and then enjoy the Astra for a few more years.
How much are you likely to get for the Astra?

Both front doors have faded to Vauxhall pink. One rear door has had a flirtation with a yellow bollard. The infotainment screen is dead. The timing chain rattles on start up. It's doing a regen every 100 miles. Need I go on?

I've no idea, I'll see what they offer. It's trade in value on auto trader is around £3K, I'll be lucky to see half of that.

Having said that, look at the price of this :o The nearest equivalent I can find

I think it's wise to let this pass. :y
I'm guessing the money in column (Astra) and the money out column ( several months older Frenchie) are too far apart.

When they first brought the Kadjar out I thought it was a nice looking car, but thought it was the size of a VW Touareg or Audi Q7, so when I saw one in the flesh I thought "Is that it?" :-\
I think you've done the right thing giving this a swerve Uncle STEMO. You're never to old to need that little smile when you plant your right foot down and you weren't going get that with a 1.6 diesel. ::) :)

I have a 1.6 diesel :)
135bhp is enough to propel an astra quite nicely. It's as quick/slow as my 2.0 diesel astra J, which had 165bhp. But the K is much lighter.

Nothing wrong with DERV, but in my humble opinion, I wouldn't look at anything under 2ltr. ::)
Maybe Uncle STEMO is right though and a 1.6 is fine in little car. :-\

Broadly speaking about the same as a 3 litre Capri from the seventies....and that was considered something of a hotrod. :)

It did well to avoid the Pug turd that the Granada got.

The 3 litre V6 Essex lump did most of it's best work at low revs. By 4500RPM it was starting to become breathless. Pretty much like a diesel in that respect. :)
My M240i has maximum torque at a derv like 1900 RPM, where it kicks out 475 lb ft according to the Viezu dyno. Yet it revs to 7000 RPM.
-
Probably a wise choice to pass on it. At least as far as your head is concerned. The Astra might be a bit dull and boring, but is reliable and cheap to run.
Obviously, your heart says you want something different though!

I initially thought the Renault was much newer than the 'dog-snotter' Astra, but it wasn't.
Plenty of one year old cars can be bought for around 50% of list price if you shop around.
Probably a better bet than a 9 year frenchie that is due for an electrical meltdown before bursting into flames. :y

Although my old E39 530d was OK. :)

My FIL has a 520d of this era and it's a really lovely thing to ride round in. His is (obviously) a 2L and a manual, neither of which really suits the car, but I can imagine a six pot auto would be a pretty perfect thing to knock about in :y

I really liked my 1999 T reg E39 530d Touring. It was a great car, it pulled and sounded like a Deltic locomotive, and was reasonably economical as well. :y
My theory is that the later versions should be even better? ??? :-\ I need to test one though. :)
-
EGR cooler and split turbo oil pipes are the two big items.
The first is a recall fix. The second is a reason not to buy an ex plod one. Another plod issue is cracking rear subframe mounts from overloading. Reinforcement was an option :o
A nice privately owned one should be a safe bet. If you need a towbar and intend using it, then get the 535d. Same engine turned up to 11.

Including the woman.
There is a catch.
It only applies if you follow Sharia Law, which is not dissimilar as a concept to living your life by the rules to dungeons and dragons or Warhammer.
The woman doesn't have to be in the same country, let alone room to get married. A representative of her or her guardian, who could be someone that has 'known' both people qualifies and a couple of witnesses, also 'known' to the couple are all that's required. Any dowry gets paid to the Guardian.
I flew with a woman in such a 'marriage' who really hates her 'husband'. I suggested that if she really wanted to piss him off that we could go to Vegas and tie the knot and there wouldn't be a single thing he could do about it.
There's a reason Sharia marriage isn't recognised legally in most countries but for these men it's about power and control. They're so arrogant they don't even consider legalising the marriage in their country of residence.

Including the woman.
There is a catch.
It only applies if you follow Sharia Law, which is not dissimilar as a concept to living your life by the rules to dungeons and dragons or Warhammer.
The woman doesn't have to be in the same country, let alone room to get married. A representative of her or her guardian, who could be someone that has 'known' both people qualifies and a couple of witnesses, also 'known' to the couple are all that's required. Any dowry gets paid to the Guardian.
I flew with a woman in such a 'marriage' who really hates her 'husband'. I suggested that if she really wanted to piss him off that we could go to Vegas and tie the knot and there wouldn't be a single thing he could do about it.
There's a reason Sharia marriage isn't recognised legally in most countries but for these men it's about power and control. They're so arrogant they don't even consider legalising the marriage in their country of residence.
Apparently we have around 70 Sharia courts in the UK.......and growing. :-X

I thought British law stated that everything owned by a woman still belongs to her husband. >:D
