Bought an Astra today for Master Vamps
« on: 24 September 2011, 20:37:43 »
We did very well, searched Autotrader last night and did a list to look at, I went out to check them out as he was at work, never got past the first garage, believed from the add to be the best, and what a cracker of a  car it is, bang on the money, in great condition and will take his Saxo as px.  I rang him from the garage, he wanted me to buy it for him but I insisted on him viewing so get him out of work early and went to view it..... :y
Very friendly garage, they let us take the car for a test drive on our own.... and then offered me a further test drive to be sure we were happy.... :y

O5 plate 1.6 Life in black, needs a couple of jobs so he will collect it next Saturday, just the Insurance to sort now and a repayment plan.... :D :D :D

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

They're good when you get used to them, I had one as a hire car from work for a few days, but they did take a bit of getting used to to start with.  :y :y

Lol, Astra H only (and you do get used to them pretty quickly plus it is NOT the latest astra).

Astra J does not have that style of indicators

You get used to them and once you do they're actually not that bad... The "lane change" function is very good :y
