[Neal_1974]

November sometime but not entirely sure if its 1st or 2nd week yet, quick to take the money not so quick at updating me on the arrival [emoji15] can’t wait [emoji4]

[emmamatt38]

whats the spec? sri, elite

[Neal_1974]

Elite nav, moon blue with matrix lights, self part, rear camera and head up display. 1.5 turbo petrol(165bhp) I’m changing from diesel as the government starts cracking down on diesels I thought my 64plate maybe worthless in 3 years so made the jump

thats a smart sounding motor mate. did they give you a good deal on your new motor? i suppose thats thats a good idea with getting rid of your diesel before the goverment stings them. i think even if the goverment stings the diesels i dont think people will get rid of them tho as there so much more cost effective then a petrol. i have both a petrol 1.8 astra sri xp 3 door and a sri 165bhp diesel siggy and the siggys so much cheaper to run

[Neal_1974]

Well i have 3 years finance left and warranty runs out next week, i also put petrol in it so its not as economical since so i think I did something to it plus cam-belt is due within 6 months and they offered me 2.5k off and through in the self park and hud so made up for my finance being more than my car was worth as part ex, its still £60 a month more but 3 years cheap motoring and the new petrols are better than used to be but yes i have estimated petrol will cost me £227 a year more in fuel

[Neal_1974]

My diesel has managed an average of 47.4 over 55k miles and i did a motorway trip and managed 80.3 mpg over 250 miles so i know my new one won’t come close [emoji23]

[Neal_1974]

Bet you 165 siggy goes well my currently is the 138bhp and is ok but 165 must fly?
