Special Signum tax  :y

But jeeeeze, a grand a year in road tax.  :o

I like petrol engines, but not that much. 

As mentioned before, a 3.0 twin turbo 6 cylinder petrol in M140 is just £130 a year!

He must have kept the ticket price below 40k and even then its £515 for the first year and then £140 for each subsequent year (if above 40k you can add £310).....or its registered pre April 2017

Yeah, mine (66 plate) was £140 pa. As for the below £40k, I think you'd do well to spec one up to that level. Mine had most things (auto, heated seats, Harmon kardon, pro nav etc) and was £32k and I didn't get the best deal around. Certainly back then, you could get a Billy basic manual car for high £20k's.

At that price its a lot of performance for the money. When it works  ::)

In fact, I might give that dealer a ring tomorrow.

Good idea. Tell him he has a grossly overpriced Astra for sale. :)
I rang him. I told him he had a grossly overpriced astra for sale that was the colour of shite.  ;D

That should result in a significant price reduction. :y

Or.....I slept on it and thought better of it. Something I didn't do in my eBay days. I'd wake up on Sunday morning, look at my emails and think 'Fook...I bought a car last night'.

You'll be glad you did.

It's overpriced, an odd colour, and after the 'unbridled power' of the 2 litre Astra it will feel shit slow. :)

About the same 0-62. Less power but much lighter chassis. Around 10 mpg better, as well.

Yeah his was well under £40k so avoided the higher band, his is a 67 plate.

Very likely to be one of, if not the last hot hatch with RWD and more than 4 cylinders.

Current rumours are that it's replacement will be a turbo 4 pot with AWD. Shame really.

Yeah 1 Series next gen won't be RWD, also I hear only auto's no manual option.

It is a hoot, small 3 door hatch back, 3.0, RWD, manual.

At one time you were always informed of an increase in road fund licence, but for quite a few years now it has increased in the budget with absolutely nil notification. I think all 3 of our vehicles are around £280 a year each.

I find the one series 'excessively ugly'.........a lump devoid of style.

Mind you women have been known to say the same of me. :)
