moddedcorsa, the 1.8 sri is only group 9,and at 19 1yrs ncb ur looking at around 1500 fc( i was quoted 1900 fc at 18 no ncb) mk4 astras are cheap at the mo so there gonna be a steal when the mk5 comes out, if i were you id get one as long as your gonna hang onto it for a while and a 1.8 sri would be a nice step from a 1.2 8v :) | |

I did think about this, but for insurance reasons, a 1.6 is gonna be too expensive (got quote on a p-reg 1.6 sport, and that was almost £1800 fc) and a 2.0 is a deff no way. | |

quote: i would, but wen i do get it (summer sum time) i will only be 19 with 1yrs ncb, so insurance will be quite high on the 1.8 sri. (1.8 sxi is a few insurance grps lower) if i got one id prob keep it for 2yrs, maybe 3 | |

So don't sell it for a few years! | |

I am considering this too, even the dealer told me its a bad idea. It'll fall like a tonne of bricks when the new one comes out (very soon) | |

go for the 1.8Sri may hold value a bit more, plus looks better | |

Depends how long you keep it. You'll do OK deal-wise at the moment, just don't sell it any time soon. | |
