I know of a 1.1 89 Fiat uno with under 50k miles in mint condition for a monkey, i might even have it myself @ £150 fully comp

really wouldn't really want to own vhauxhall,  espectaly wouldn't want to own one out of warranty ever.. 

mates reacently bought an 09 insignia    it's a bit crap tbh     gets no where near the quoted MPG  and it's just had to have a new ecu to top it off the staff in the garage are

a)unhelpfull & unplesant to deal with. b) give the inpression of being morons.   

[SoundillusioN]

and astras dont 

Right,

1, any astra for that price will be a DOG

2, 60 -65 mpg  yeah right, unless your doing ALL motorway driving it Like miss daisy then you WONT be getting anywhere near that in the REAL world figures.

so, I will make a suggestion

a, look for a 1.4tdi 3 cylinder polo.

b, you will get better MPG than the astra, wont have the DMF issues and will get a better car for your cash

c, search on here for the one that Diamond hell, horney, then me and finally  The Doc own/owned.

its taken a right load of abuse, a remap and its still spanking along

I will return with a suggest or 2 in a mo

 

Listen to this man...^^^^^^

I have had a couple of Astra's... One of them only had 26k on the clock when I bought it, Bang £1000 here, pop £200 there, snap another £200. In the end I realised that even though it was cheap to run (ish) and cheap to insure, things broke and they cost a lot to fix.

i had an astra as my first car for over 2 years  only problem i ever had was the water pump
went, other than that it was good as gold, although it had a bit of an oil addiction
