Picking up my ed30

[dan930]

Your gonna LOVE it mate! Get some pics up when you've got it. What's the spec?

Rear parking sensors,sunroof,electric seats(not sure if it's standard),armrest,heated seats,mfsw,winter pack....just had dsg service+engine oil service 10miles ago at vw dealer
Ps what is winter pack??

Good spec that dude, having a sunroof is a mega touch. The seats are only electric for the lumbar i think, i dont think they did full electric seats?

It got xenons too?

I wish it had xenons..

Picking it up on the 11th jan early morning...can't wait...Then doing the LONG journey to Eddie nl for satnav & cruise control fitment

  Glad to see you got one in the end, what colour?

I was gutted that I was 15mins late on yr one...they opened at 9am.I called at 9.15am & someone placed a deposit at 9.05am

All I'll say is that its someone not a million miles away from this forum who just beat you. Like I say glad you got one.

Might be trading mine in tommorow depending on a test drive - new shape Astra (more economical) 

thats quite a change, how did you come around to choosing an astra??  i do like the look of them but every time i change car i start looking at various makes but always sticking with the germans, be it VAG or BMW.

Had quite a few German cars, 5 Audis, 5 Golfs, 5 BMWs, 1 SEAT, 1 Skoda - apart from the Fabia VRS and the BMWs i've had lots of problems with the audis and Golfs so enough is enough.
Had 3 old shape Astras (VXR, SRi Turbo, SRI 1. and didn't have any problems, so that's why i thought of the new shape Astra - more modern (temp gauge is back )
The ED30 is running perfect since i had a new charcoal canister, new DV, major service, cambelt + pump so the next owner will be very pleased - car is getting older though so more problems will be around the corner?
I was planning on a remap if i was going to keep it but with running costs getting higher and a £1k a year pay cut i can't warrant keeping it (i have a Triumph STR for summer) so cheaper motoring is required.
i'll miss it but TBH the only car i do regret trading is the VXR (remapped to 295bhp) - the Golf has/ never will feel as quick :)

He's not a newbie but is a very deserving new owner as he's been looking a loooooooong time! I'm almost as excited for him as he is!

Don't do it!!!!!!!

Seriously mate, you will regret it every day. I sold my V64Motion in Sept 10 for a Laguna estate to save money and use for work, and every time I got in it, a little part of me died.

Got back in a quick Golf in August, and my life is good again!

goodluck to you mate, hope it brings you plenty of enjoyment. i have been thinking of selling my gti the last few days, purely from an insurance point of view, got beyond a joke, so may have a look at an astra myself as i said previously, i do like the look of them. what engine have you gone for??
