its exactly the one i want! its so cheap and id buy it today, however engine has been rebuilt - dosnt say where or when this was.
secondly looking at the ebay users previouse things they have sold - seems like they might be a living on a caravan site 
maybe keep looking......

when the engine has been replaced shouldnt be a problem, as long as it runs ok then its cool. the user has over 500+ feedback so looks pretty legit to me

Feedback seems fair enough mate?
Maybe he owns a caravan site or somthing? I'd go for it HPI and a check over at Vaxhalls pending of course.Also it's not uncommon for the ZLET's to have been replaced due to the turbo problems they have.

The Engine looks more like a 42k one rather then 107k due to how reasonably clean it looks,But that doesnt mean anything.
If they have Proof of Engine Swop/Rebuild Etc then maybe it is genuine?Also if you went and looked at it to see what it's really like and Test Drove it & also see what type of person they are and weather they actually live on a Camp Site or not 
They have a few Pictures of it which is also Good.You can also get a HPI Check done aswell.

oh yeah i wouldnt ever buy anything unless it was fully HPi checked.
it looks quite tidy under the bonnet, i will have to email the seller and see if they are going to relist if it dosnt reach 'buy it now 'price. and maybe go see it next week.

Seems fairly genuine tbh, 2 pages in to his feedback he also sold a golf - albeit cheaper than the Astra.
Gas sales may be genuine as already said.
Best bet would be to ask to view and go and see it and get a feel for the place and the car.

can't you go view it and decide from there? looks pretty faultless bar the wear on the wheels which is expected from an 03 plate
