Its only got 54K on it, but not sure if the cambelt has been done, so a search on the vauxhall database is being done and if not im gonna have it done straight away.
Can't drive it till tuesday tho cos of tax, so annoying

Neither at the mo, as neither have tax. The golf needs a few things doing to it until its ready for the road but not gonna insure it so don't know what i am going to do with it yet

Does need some new centre caps on the wheels one is missing. And yeh i earn £45 per week, but i have bought all my cars and this is the first one that i have used any of my student loan for. Had to get it quick as the BMW was about to break and would have been looking at a £1500+ repair bill!
Nice car!!! £45 a week? how do you afford these cars on £45 a week! I spent about £70 just on a night out last night alone! and going out several times a week, plus car maitenance, insurance and other things my money is going down - not up.

Ive never been sure of the Astra Coupe as theres conflicting figures everywhere...
00 - 197bhp 152mph 0-60 7sec
01 888/02 Linea Rossa 189bhp 152mph 0-60 7.0sec
03 Turbo Edition 187bhp 152mph 0-60 7.0sec
Why the differant power figures???

Would have loved another Accord as that was such a complete car, but there were none forsale locally in garages so was limited with choice

For only 145bhp they drive very well. Pulls nicely in every gear
