Hi and welcome to the auction of my 2006 Vauxhall Astra 1.8
Petrol Elite.
I bought this car just over a year ago as a spare car, intending
to give it to my son to drive once he passed his driving test. He’s now past
his test, but unfortunately due to the car being a 1.8, it's too expensive to
insure so I’ve bought him a much smaller car and am selling the Astra as I don’t
have space to keep it.
The car has an MOT until 29 December 2024, and past its last
MOT with three advisories, play in the steering rack joints, front tyres and corroded
brake discs. The corrosion to the brake disks was due to the car not being
used.
The car is 18 years old and does have a couple of age
related marks, which I’ve tried to capture in the pictures. The most noticeable
of which is an area of rust on the boot, there are also early signs of rust where
the wheel arches meet the sills. Nothing major for a car of this age and you have
to look hard to see them. There are also some marks to headlining. The engine
bay very clean with no signs of any leaks.
Last September the car was hit by a drink driver and suffered
very minor damage, but because of the car's age, the insurance company wrote
the car off. There was no structural damage and I have included photos of the very minor damage
to the rear bumper.
I could have remained silent on this point, as the damage is
hardly noticeable but believe in being honest and want you to know what you are
buying.
Which is a very presentable Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elite with heated
leather seats, cruise control and air conditioning. The car drives very well and
subject to you paying a £200 refundable deposit (to show you are serious) and showing
proof of insurance I am happy to accompany you on a test drive before the auction
ends.
Remember you are bidding to buy the car, so if you would like
to take the car on a test drive, please make arrangements with me to do so
before bidding.
It is a much better car than the starting price suggests.
Cash or bank transfer on collection.
Thank you for taking the time to read this description and happy bidding.
