Finally... Astra J GTC, 1.6 Turbo, SRi

[UseThe4s]

Greetings to all Astra and car fans. I haven't written to the forum for a long time, but maybe this post will please someone. For the last 10 years I have been the satisfied owner of the Astra H Caravan, 1.7 CDTI. I take good care of that car and I've done a lot on it. Today, she has 324.000 km, but she is still doing well. However, in the last year or so I have somehow started to look around and peek at a possible successor.

My needs and requirements regarding the car have become quite refined over the years, so I was just looking for the right form. The only thing I knew at the beginning was that I wanted a manual, that I wanted gasoline, and that it would be white. I went through the whole spectrum of the used car market, and the possibilities were from the VW Transporter to the Audi A3 .

A week ago, I was looking at the Astra J Sports Tourer, and even my guy went to see it in Germany. But it wasn't good, so in about two days I say to myself - I don't need the station wagon for anything today and the 5-door version is much nicer to me... So I lay in the 5-door offers of the white Astras for two days and at the end this came up... I say to myself: 95% of the time I still drive alone in the car, I take the whole family of 5 people and two dogs with it twice a year to my grandparents, the trunk for the weekend purchase of supplies to our shop is large enough and moreover... I have always wanted this car anyway...  . A lot to the quick decision was that it was practically a demonstration car with a complete service history, in a condition that my head still does not understand. And when I got a big export discount on it in exchange for the 12-month warranty offered, it was a done deal. So "The White" is already standing in front of my house and is waiting for the registration documents to come from Germany ...
