Vauxhall Astra sports tourer £9.9k - Is it a good deal? - Zippy123

The leasing company that my employer owns is offering a new Vauxhall Astra Sports Touer(estate) 1.6i 16v SRI 5 door auto for £9,949. Its pre-registered.

List price is £21k. What should I look out for or is it such a good deal that I should bite their arm off?

The only thing i'd be concerned about...would the lifetime warranty apply with a pre regd car?

Even if it didn't i'd be sorely tempted...get it LPG'd for £1500 and you've bought a good new super economy estate for buttons.

Good thinking plenty of room for a lpg tank check on engine adaptibility if you go the lpg route and look at the right system.

Try not to get distracted by the % 'discount' from list price. As a private owner you won't be able to realise this in any meaningful way. It is easy to end up with a car you don't want because it's a 'bargain'. The 1.6 n/a is the least tempting engine out of the range-and might feel a bit strained in quite a big car. The simple question is: would you rather have the £9.9k or the Astra?
