Yeah I suppose that would affect the prices.

I sold my Astra coupe for 6k on a 51 plate last month tho.

That GSi is well cheap, wish i had that kinda money spare to purchase one

Also in the best colour too

I'd say GSi by far it's got to be number 3!! You know it makes sense!

well tbh the gsi is still outside my budget. the import tax on it is much higher that the coupe.

this the what the government will charge me just to put it on irish plates takes them 10 minutes to inspect the car and stamp a form

tax to import the 2003 gsi - £2700 (€3800)
tax to import the 2001 coupe - £2047 (€2900)

so if the first option has fsh, new timing belt and turbo replaced it should be fine. can always try haggle him down in price.

Hardly a big deal if it has a full vauxhall service history.
20K a year means business/motorway mileage. Good buy imo

Thats ridiculous, got to be something wrong with it IMO. No fool even with that mileage would sell a Astra GSi for that price unless he needed the cash ASAP.
