FS: Tintop - Vauxhall Astra 1.6 (X reg)
My girlfriend is selling her astra, and thought it worth putting on here (ya never know!  )
It's a 2000/X reg, with appx 78k and in fantastic mechanical condition apart from 2 things (only 2 I hear you ask???)
Brakes are warped so need new discs. This is probably something to be done straight away for the buyer. There is also a little vibration at ~70mph
which I think is related.
Other problem is the EGR valve which needs replaced or blanked off. This causes the engine to occassionally cut out, but (a) it restarts again
immediately and (b) is apparently an easy fix.
Bodywork is good, apart from 4-5 deep scratches on a rear door (I forget which side at the moment). Would benefit from a touch up stick.
Similar cars with MOT are selling for £1300 - £1600 (this one runs until November), but my good lady is looking for £800 accepting the work needs
done.
What say you?
Truth be told I think this isn't the place, so might be heading to Autotrader.... alternatively does anyone have experience of selling cars to
used car garages but not as a part ex..
Any thoughts/comments welcome as always - pics can be arranged easily enough
Cheers
Mark

It's a 5 door, star silver with the alloys.
Service history is complete to 28/03/2007 which was the 6 year service at 63,023 miles. The 6 year service was the major one and I have a receipt for
£323 for this one.
It's not been serviced since then so 1 year or 3,000 miles overdue I guess(just checked mileage is 76,000).
Thought I'd add my girlfriend is the 3rd owner, and it has a single disc (kenwood I think) CD player.
Cheers
Mark

I think this is the same as timing belt? If so it was indeed replaced at last service.
