1 owner, relatively low miler, looks to be a bit rough.

699 though, and tested.

I chortled at 'genuine rover dog guard'. Is that the dog's name or the brand?!

Nice colour also.

Drives good

instead of perfect

That's all subjective and down to the wording people use. I'm sure we have all drove a car that was described as drives perfect and it was a dog. That's not to say the Corolla is spot on either - best way to find out is give it a spin and a once over.

Seems like Good value for a run around or am I missing something?

I notice he has 4 cars for sale and pics of all seem to be taken in different locations. Odd.

Was looking out for one of these Corolla's. That Corolla seems a very low price for a clean looking 07 in a nice colour with test left on it?

The bonnet on that corolla looks to be off and it changed hands on the 29th of March. With four cars on sale and what looks like a garage set up in his other ads, I would be wary that it is priced correctly, rather than a bargain.

Thanks for the shout mike.

morritty · 03-05-2019 02:08PM

Is there any way to tell if that has gone over 100k miles? since the odometer is 5 digits only?

Extra 100000 will definitely show in the interior.

Fair point, but just wondering about the clock in general?

That's a great find. Small money for a nice well cared for reliable car.
Looks mint.

Little help please, the girlfriend has an interest in this Astra. Is there anything to look out for?

No NCT. I would be questioning why it has been prepared for NCT but not put through?

oceanman · 03-05-2019 08:51PM

plus its an opel…

Apparently booked in for the NCT next week.

bazz26 · 03-05-2019 09:05PM

Those Astra petrol engines are very fragile and not known for their reliability. I know it's a cheap car but I'd be looking at something else.

No need to book for a visual you can just drive to the centre and get the cert. Look for something else is my advice. Those Astra's can be ropey enough.

Exactly this.
Seems odd if they told him it's booked in for this week again, although maybe they just mean they have to get back in to the centre and get the visual done and pick up cert

Bigmac1euro · 04-05-2019 08:21AM

If that Astra has an ecotech engine which I reckon it does then forget about it, it’s at its max mileage now. It’s head gasket is probably blown. By all means for have a look at it but I wouldn’t touch an Opel with one of those engines ever again. They just chew themselves up overtime and poof!
