Astra CDTI sales? how is it ? any news?

[J]

Ross Llewellyn have 06 stock that they are marking down - up to 15% if anyone is interested.

We have a grey one, and a silver one - both auto.

They don't do too bad in the auto either.

And I thought I got a good price!

I paid $28K for the manual, including about $1K worth of extras (towbar, metallic paint, mats, liner, temp rego permit, fueled, interstate delivery to my workplace). I paid for my own local stamps/rego on top of that. MY07 model.

Yes the UP TO 15% off sale does apply to CDTi's.

Thank you. I will email all the dealers to do up a '06 CDTi manual then! Failing that, I will go back to Plan B

I am sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but any updates in the '07 models that I will miss, apart from cosmetics? What about equipment levels?

Alix: Do I just email their new cars sales directly? And just be firm and assertive, isn't it?

Cheers.

Hey folks just thought i would say a quick hello. Never under estimate the diesel lol. In regards to this topic Astra diesels are definetly moving people are buying i see a fair few in the carpark where i work. I know of 2 people i work with who have them and they are enjoying them very much and happy with the reliability of the vehicle. Both of these are boxed with a green dtuk unit owners are quite happy with the purchase.
Only thing they dont like is when they remove the unit from their vehicle when it goes in for a service it feels a little lethargic without the box lol..
If you are keen on the Astra CDTi definetley check it out because this vehicle has a lot of potential.

I think the biggest change was the wheels - MY07 has a thin, ten spoke design. MY6.5 has thicker, double spoke design.

And the new one: http://www.discountusedcars.com.au/u...-details-0.htm

Apart from that, just paint colours, AFAIK.

Pretty much. Although I just stated exactly what I wanted, and when I wanted it asking for their best price. Then I sat back and took the calls and emails and went from there. I won't get into negotiation skills now - I've got to get to work!

Yeah, sorry about that. (You're a dealer, aren't you?)

EDIT: To clarify: I'm not trying to be rude. I meant, you must hate it when customers shop around so much - makes your job so much harder. At least, that's how I read your "Eek!"

he he he


I don't mind ppl shopping around, hey a car is a lot of money and ppl want to be sure they are getting a good deal. Its when ppl openly lie to you that it pisses me off, but its all part of the job.

I was more amazed that you had the time to contact so many dealers, but then i realised you got it done in one day, so well done!!!

I think the wheels look better on the MY06.5 than the MY07!

Must agree with OPE 126. Not too keen on the new wheels. Probaly take longer to clean as well..
