The VW is a very reliable and economical car, but like any car it is the product of it's last owner, if it was serviced on a regular basis there should be no hidden surprises, I will be worth your while paying a few dollars to get the car checked over by a qualified mechanic.

Yes we would be going tomorrow to check the car over. Im not keen on the drive in the astra to be honest. What do you think about the sdi polo model? As I ave seen some people say its very slow and sluggish? Cheers

I look after a few in my workshop with no real issues with performance in manuals.
