Got the call from lexus

they have a 2006 1.9cdti SRI [150] 5 door on 84k miles, with full XP bodykit and 17" alloys, Royal Blue (almost black tbh)

insurance works out to be £600 cheaper than the lex, that includes 3 free modifications (remap/HID/Springs)

finance is £36 a month better

MPG on book is 50mpg, all owners and various searches indicate 42mpg+ even when booting it (my lex only does 39mpg driving nicely

so saving total of around £120-£140 a month,

there gunna swap my parrot kit over for free and look to change cars again in 18 months

cant say no really (well i can but i dont want to!)

It will take some time to adjust to Astra. Can't believe they only give you 42mpg? that does sound poor.

Thought you were getting something German? Have no experience of vauxhalls but the astras with the VXR kit do look quite cool Smile

As long as it doesn't fall to pieces all should be well :biggrin:
