astra coupe turbo.
think i may get one after the corsa. i may just keep the corsa for another 10months then i will get my 4years no claims and buy one of these.
alot of car for the money imo there pretty much just and astra gsi but cheaper, like this one for instance.
such a nice car.

My big cousin's just bought one. Hell of a lot of car for the money. I'd always take one of these over a GSi.

only problem in the 9 months or so has been a wheel bearing which is just normal stuff and a rocker cover gasket which you should be used to with owning a vauxhall, lol

Same with the Calibra/ Cav turbos - you'll pay just shy of a grand for a good LET, you'll get a full car for just over that.

makes you think if you needed a let to buy the car, break what you dont need for pennies and make most your money back

Never realised they were that cheap. That's a lot of car for the money as already pointed out.

Yes, great car and they get better value all the time.
100k miles in one won't be without issue, stuff like the bolsters, hinges, window runners, gear linkage will all feel like it but all easily sorted.
