i have never fitted a k&n filter to any car and if i was to get this one then it would be back to standard. ive got a reply from the seller and he wants the cash to go to him so i would never buy it. just what you dont want is a few weeks down the road and the finance company come and take it off ya......

If all the marks will come out with a dose of T-cut why doesn't he just do it and increase its saleability?
I can never understand this. You see 'classic' cars advertised at 50k and 'just needs...'
If it needs it, why hasn't it had it?

I personaly would not touch this with a barge pole. I hate modded cars they are more hassle than its worth. If Vauxhall thought K&N was wonderful they would put them filters on them selves, the same with them massive exhausts with half the time do nothing but actually reduce the engines power.
Generally modded cars are worth less than the original version.
This is the way I look at it:-
Different wheels - why? in many cases this will just upset the speedo readings, cost more to insure, cost morer the rubber etc.
Engine mods - possible insurance probs, possible MOT problems, increase posibility of being stopped by the cops, possible reliability issues.
DVD player head unit - What is the point of those things?
Fat exhaust - is waking the nighbours up supposed to be cool? Nobody thinks you have a Ferrari its a cheap massed produced product of GM designed as a reliable and practical family car, keep it that way.
Interior mods - Again tacky and vile spend your money on servicing instead.
Bodykits - Possible insurance problems, increase chance of being stopped by the plod, extra weight, general tackyness.
Well you did ask for honest opinions :).When you modify a car its your taste not Joe Bloggs this is why their value plumets so much as you limit the market.

Agree with MH here.
Can't believe the number of cars around where the aircon only needs refilling at £40..;)
Fleabay sales patter has to be seen to be believed, i've seen quite a few sellers wanting to shift their cars that are still under finance, wouldn't touch with the bargepole.

"Fleabay sales patter has to be seen to be believed"
Indeed! I find it very hard to take anything seriously where the ad is full of spelling mistakes or written in capitals (usually both). I'm sure there are some honest illiterates out there, but that's not the way to bet!

Isn't the problem that he's trying to sell something which doesn't belong to him?
|

"Hi buddy, I've just telephoned the finance company to find out the remaining balance and, stone me, it's double what I said it was. Honestly, I just saw the "1" and the rest is a blur. I won't apologise or even appear concilliatory but instead make up words and insult your intelligence horribly."

To be even asking the question "Would you buy this car" is bad enough.
I'd just look out for another Astra. walk away from this one, not worth the hassle. Especially with £1943.82 outstanding!!

i have walked away..... but im still watching it and the seller has added the following.
On 14-Mar-09 at 21:18:05 GMT, seller added the following information:
im also putting it through its mot this week and the tax runs out on the 31.05.2009 the reason im getting rid is because iv seen a nissan fairlady z 300zx that i have fallen in love with car is not beening reposesd or andthing silly like that too just not the car for me really im 21 and iwont somthing a bit wilder

Sounds like some chav who has run into financial problems trying to sell property that dosn't belong to him. Seen a lot of cases like this on ebay lately. One that makes me laugh MOT has ran out but will pass easily - then just get it MOT'ed!
