Buying a used Astra - what do I need to know?
I'm looking at buying a Vauxhall Astra, from 2004 onwards. I have a budget of £3000, but hoping not to spend that much.
I was looking at the petrol 1.4 or 1.6 engines, but is there anything I should know about the car or these engines? I'm hoping for a reliable car with decent mpg.
