Vauxhall
Astra Hatchback (1998)
2.0i 16V SRi Turbo 3d

For most of them it is just a job and all they want is a sale.

The sales birds are quite tasty though

They get confused when you turn up to the garage and ask for 2.0 parts to go into a Corsa....

They made one in the Mk4 too, but that was aound the 52 plate, before the days of the GSi.

I dont understand what the point of this thread is

. You asked vauxhall if they made a specific car, which they didnt, and they told you they didnt make it, yet your surprised at this

i know that they only came out in 2002 and only about 500 were produced in this country, the point is they didn't even know it exists!

No, you asked for:

Vauxhall
Astra Hatchback (1998)
2.0i 16V SRi Turbo 3d

Which doesn't exist.

If you'd asked for:

Vauxhall
Astra Hatchback (2002)
2.0i 16V SRi Turbo 3d

Then you'd probably get the same answer in which case everyone on this thread would be agreeing with you and laughing at Vauxhall, instead it's the other way around

So naturally you ask for one that was made 4 years before they came out.
Clever.
