BANGERNOMICS (sub3k) of the week/day Part 7

Not surprised - unless something terribly wrong with that car it was priced to sell

Not a bad looking car at all that Astra. No doubt the tax is heavy for that year though.

I think realistically if you got it in around 1700 or so its not a bad deal at all. Thats really not a lot of money for what is actually quite a nice looking car with a proper folding roof. I wouldn't personally buy it but for someone looking for a cheapo summer car you could do a lot worse.

I think in the context of the money you're going to spend the damage you're referring to is pretty minor in fairness. Its bangernomics after all. Never going to be pristine.

And good luck finding a similar year SLK for anywhere near 2k! You're looking at doubling your budget at least.

Well, I was making a few separate points.

1. The Astra looks like bad value compared to say the Renault Megane linked below.
2. And if you are gonna buy a hard top convertible for a bit of posing....you probably need to spend more than bangernomics money anyway and get something that has some kind of cache like for example an SLK.... and yes, I wouldn't expect to buy a half decent one for bangernomics money.

Its 1500 because its LetterKenny. A horse of drive for anyone living in the bottom half of the country. Personally I think the Astra cabrio is a better looking car.

But each to their own. The megane is certainly great value for what he's asking.
