Thanks Ange. Could be today, could be in 6 months time. We are in no hurry. It's been a while since I have been seriously looking at new cars in this segment (always been looking at the fantasy side!), and quite frankly, I am a bit disappointed (as is Val) in the quality of vehicles available at the moment. Thought things would have improved (quality of fit/finish/gizmos, etc.) since the Astras were first purchased.
In the end, the Astra is a bloody well built car. And, as there is nothing wrong with Val's Astra, we may very well end up keeping it!
