Colin OTR price for an Astra Vxr is £21k with no options! 
I may need to get rid of mine Collybob to free up some money and get some savings etc

About right, you can get delivery mileage Astra for £15,995.
We decided last night that when the new Astra VXR comes out in 2011 we'll get it and keep the 'Burg.
Bare that in mind as well anyone thinking of buying a new Astra VXR that the new one is due out in a couple of years although when the VXR came out the Astra GSi held it's value very well.

Joe, I'm currently running in safe mode so can't get into my u2u's
All because of Nismos sodding dirty pictures and my need for a quick wank.

Mine was a factory order, it was 13 something with the options of sunroof and tinted windows then i got my staff discount of 3500 off it
pretty sure average joe would pay the full 14k
Fiat also seem to be reluctant to offer you the motor for anything but the list price. You do genuinely get quite a well specced car for a pretty decent price off of them though. Independents like Perrys seem to be cheaper, but only on pre-reg's; so I guess it's if you want a certain spec really.
Sorry to sound like a typical CS magpie, but if you do intend on selling up Kurt, could you let me know

Thats probably why average joe doesnt buy one.
Id begrude giving £7000 for one, never mind £14k. Nice litle engine, but the overall quality isnt there, compaired to other cars of a similar price

I get my Astra tomorrow or Friday and I can't wait. Was very nice and smooth to drive. I haven't driven the Corsa so I can't comment, but it didn't appeal to me as much as the Astra did

Was crap, just didn't get on with it at all & very boring. It was old and rattled so I decided on a newer car that was smoother, quieter and doesn't feel like it will fall apart. Basically I had no confdence in the car
