purplebargeken Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Bloke at work. Likes his Astras. He's bought a newer one as the 2002 one failed its MOT on emissions. He had the garage fit a new EGR setup and didn't do anything else with it. He's done lots of routine stuff on the car, brakes, shocks I think. The car is in good condition, starts and drives, no MOT. Is located in Hatfield - Hertfordshire. Average miles I believe. The car is the 5 door model and is black in colour. Price 400 quid. PM me if you haz interest.

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I can only imagine selling a 400 quid Astra would be like a live version of Benefits Britain and Jeremy Kyle.

purplebargeken Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 C'mon, be serious for a nanosecond. What would it be worth with a full years ticket. It is very tidy indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 C'mon, be serious for a nanosecond. What would it be worth with a full years ticket. It is very tidy indeed.

Dave_Q Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sorry, I'm not an expert on these things but imo you'd be struggling to get much north of 500 quid for it, a 2002 astra is in no mans land, too old for the general population to be interested and not old enough to be old/retro. Not an eggspurt though so Vx lickers, make yourselves known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Quick browse on ebay shows prices from 595 to 1500 quid so maybe I'm a bit pessimistic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think Mk4 has kept a good reputation - and you see a few late ones going for good money still (especially if it is an eco4 diesel or something). Beginning to see a few OMGHGF around with these though (that killed both of mine)... All the petrol ones seem to need frequent oil top ups. A bit underrated vs the Focus I think.

EssDeeWon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ken, don't buy it unless he is offering serious good mates rates. I doubt there is much to be made after all the MOT work and faffing about, then the aggro of selling a 2002 Astra to joe and josephine bloggs. By all means offer it about but don't inherit another man's ball ache. Dave_Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 ^^Fucksake he's hardly gonna go for that option if it's in sight of an MOT. As long as it runs ok (these engines do have some crazy sensor issues from time to time-mostly sortable though) then it shouldn't bite you in the buttox if you take it on. If your mate sees sense and lowers his price accordingly, I would suggest it might be worth taking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 If I can wear him down to say, 150 or 200 quid then it might be a goer. That was all the garage said needed doing for the test but he got fed up with it and bought a newer Astra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'd offer him £150 with no MOT or £450 with an MOT, which you are happy to arrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
