Nice, gotta be happy with that! :D
It's home now!
Does anybody know what the rims are?
Advanti Medusa's ;)
The Vienta was ready for some maintenance items - brakes, shocks, maybe some steering or suspension bush work, my wife really didn't drive it very far, so it was using a fair bit of fuel. Basically, time for a change, and what better time than a week before $700 of rego and $200 of tyres! We'd had it since it was 1 year old with 10,000kms, so after 12 years I thought she needed a change. No need for the family size car as I now have a work car to use on holidays etc, so we can downsize.
I had never thought about the Astras really, but stumbled upon the diesel, looked up the specs and the reviews and thought it looked good as I have recently got a diesel X-Trail through work and absolutely love the way the diesel goes and how little fuel it uses doing it. Once we drove one, I thought it was great, and Alison was happy, so we worked out a deal.
It gives us more walking room in the garage too!
Thanks about the wheels, I need to get a value for them to add them to the insurance policy. Bizarre part about the insurance is that I transferred it from the Vienta (insured for $7,900 - should've written it off!) to the Astra (insured at $23,100), and they are sending me a cheque for $13 - go figure!
