Astra GSi rep with XE engine.
Seems a good price. Not keen on the interior however.

Nice. I'm a huge fan of these. I haven't driven one though and have been told they handle like boats?

I was thinking of getting one at one point. Living in Norfolk though most of the roads I drive are twisty, so I'm still thinking of going for a 106 GTI.

106 GTi's are great little cars If i could i'd have one, but for now i'm after something a little different.

It also looks right. Nothing looks out of place, bar the buckets and maybe the steering wheel. That'd have to go in favour of a GSi interior.

It has 140k on the clocks, this puts me off a little. I know the engine probably wont have that mileage on it but everything else on the car will.
Think i'll stick with the Corsa until something special pops up.

Lovely looking astra, athough it may look nice, maybe worth quizing the guy about the engine history etc.......
Just because the rocker cover and everything looks shiny doesn't mean the internals are upto scratch 
But yeah in gerenal i like it.

140k? Why worry? Blows up get a new engine. All parts can be sourced second hand, I love old Vauxhalls

Its not the engine i'm worried about. Everything bar some panels on that car have seen 140k. Surely they cant have that much left in them before the need renewing.
