Hi From the Mornington Peninsula

[AllenR]

I purchased a very nice low KM one owner Arden Blue Astra G SRI Turbo in late June from Bendigo.
I have been over it and changed all the fluids and filters and apart from needing a new set of rear tyres, it is in super condition.
I am retired and have been a BMW fanatic since 1971 and this car is a real departure for me. I needed a practical but fun truck and the Astra fits the bill beautifully.
I maintain he cars myself and so far am loving the car and checking out the forum for clues as to peoples preferences for various improvements and which bits are best.
I look forward to contributing from time to time.
Cheers.

You are the one who bought this car! I was looking at this one for a long time and had it been around for a week longer I would have ended up flying down to Melbourne to look at it. ;) Congrats on the purchase and welcome to OpelAus!

I too had been watching it for a while, as I was also looking for a scmick BMW 325ti compact, but couldn't find one. They have the same practicality, are a bit quicker but also twice the price. I was looking for one to complement my 5 series BM. However, I am not disappointed. It was one owner and 92,000 Km. There is very little to do to it and plan to keep it original and scmiko. Thanks for the welcome. I have been a BMW forum junky for years.

Yeah haha, I was watching it tick down from $11,000 in 2013.

Ohhhhhhh so you're the one that bought this, I was looking at it too! It was $12k for ages then slowly came down in price until it was almost undervalued haha. Good buy mate, hope you enjoy it :)

Haha, that's funny. The one night I had my phone in my hand and was just about to hit the call button, but as the turbo laws hadn't been announced yet, I decided against it in the end thinking it would be a waste to hang onto a car I can't use for a year and a half. Little did I know just over a week later they would confirm the Turbo law changes.
