Wow... 13K sounds like a steal for a brand new one..

^except you'll be paying out the butt for retained value, but it's not a big deal when the car's that cheap :) and it's about 5k cheaper than said nissan cube with taxes and discounts in, and 5 years down the road I doubt this will be worth that much less.

the price was alright for the ride...again to me, the ride was average...but average to me is good...coupled with a low price, then it becomes great...wife doesn't want it though because it seems that there is not much leg room in the back and i agree...
you know the price on it went up, right? there was a thread in redflag that the car was priced 11-12k in ontario and 14k here...grrr...i guess i'll let them have that since the leafs suck so much

lolol yeah, rear legroom isn't very good, but trunk space was quite good IMO
wow 11-12k! :eek:

That's a really good deal there and Gm should have bought over re badged Opel's like a decade or two ago..............

^Or just brought over the brand, I'd much rather drive an opel than a saturn! :D
Two decades might be a bit of a stretch though, but definitely within the last 10 years there have been some pretty nice opels, speedster anyone?

GODDAMNIT!!! SOLD OUT!!!
no manuals left :cry: jeez

owned.

+1


so how long till they have manual ones?

They did. They rebadged the Opel Omega as a Cadillac Catera... and it failed horribly.

At least I got my N today... but no astra to drive around in... :cry:

should I settle for an auto?

"The caddy that zigs"

dont ! dont get smth you wont like and regret later :p
find a manual!!!

Lol i don't mind the auto, I just prefer 5 speed cos it's cheaper >.<
I haven't even test driven it, frankly I don't think it'll be any more fun anyways based on my experience with the base civic.

it's a great, proven car. go for it, get a manual

^no manuals left in bc or alberta >.<
they're not making new ones anyways..
so yeah...
maybe from the states but such a hassle, auto isn't bad compared to say a matrix

lol i thought u drove arond in the Z before...tsk tsk driving before your license :P
lol i didnt know before u were my age haha...now it seems like astra for someone our age is a bit weird :/

if I were you, i'd run this car to the ground instead of selling it off afterwards for the retain value.

*if you find that manual! :)

11-14k car. Run it to the ground....drive it as a beater, trade in value or used sales value won't be any good anyways. Why not when you're looking at a say another new car down the road, use this as your beater.

I'll run the Z to the ground :D
but yeah, definitely retained value isn't important in a 13k car, they should be fairly reliable as long as you keep them maintained, If the engine blows do I smell cobalt SS turbo? ;)

LOL yeah danizer, I'm still kinda iffy on the brand >.< not so much the age thing, the car looks pretty hip-ish (considering it's 5 years old...) but the brand... most often associated with possibly the most undesirable cars!

And yeah didn't I tell you i was in grade 12 in your intro thread?

There's a few manual Astras here in Kelowna.. :P

I popped over to the Saturn dealership after seeing the page on RFD about Astras going out the door for $13k (taxes included!!!!)

BTW, an Astra drives much nicer than a Honda Civic LX, and is much much more upscale inside.. The shifter have really long throws.. The interior has the same 'upscale' feeling as a MK5 Rabbit..

I was hoping to snatch a 3dr XR for under $15k.. :(

^OMG HE LIED TO ME!?!?!?!
I'm shocked that a car salesman lied to me >.<

lolol, i gotta go check that out, thanks btw!
any colour choice?

GO GET IT NOW! :haha:

Give me a ride when you get it for 13K :D

I sent an e-mail to their dealership last night, waiting for a reply

btw too_slow when was it that you saw these manuals?

make sure, i can come check it out and sit in it when u get it :thumbsup:
