lol i forgot :D
yea def rebadge as vauxhall ^^

RS TO THE RESCUE
called langley saturn, they have a sexy 3 door XR in 5 speed, blue with all the goodies, (maybe not sunroof)

Danizer shouldn't you be in school right now?

^
hes a bad boy that skips and stays home to fap

ilvtofu: go get it, and debadge it, and give me a ride :) i like the car :D

lol who faps in the morning...LOL...
didnt have first block 8D...got to wake up at 9:30 lol..

damn, blue as in like the VXR blue? as jeremy clarkson says....SWEEEEEEET!

Kelowna has three left..

Blue 3dr XR - Auto + leather
White 3dr XR -5spd base
Black 3dr XR - 5spd base

lol you fap when everyone else is in school?
XD I had first block off too this morning

nah it's not the vxr blue, it's a dark blue similar to some bmw 5 series blue

wow, you get projector headlights?
go for it! it's better than a hyundai accent!

So the one I'm looking at now is 17500 with PDI in,
"twilight" blue, (maybe that'll help with the LG hunting :haha:)
5 speed manual
XR 3 door coupe
Has MP3 capability
Leather and heated seats
traction stabilitrak and that bs
and that's about it.

Is 17500 out the door, or you have to add taxes on top?

Yeah before tax, so just about 20k with tax in

but then you add 1000 to the down payment from GM Loyalty
And an extra 800 for first 2 payments
But interest rate for 36 month finance is about 5.7%

I thought the $7000 incentive is for cash purchases only! 5.7% is pretty high.. Get a loan from the bank from your parents to co-sign, and you should be able to get one in the 2% range..

^
I see, it's a GMAC loan, but I'll look into that, my parents are co-signing, the car is going under my brother's name because he has a GM vehicle and recently graduated.

The OD line interest is also only about 4.5% LOL

It's only about a couple hundred difference on such a cheap car though.

In my book, always walk into a dealership with cash in hand, else it just saps your negotiation power.

$2300ish a year insurance on 25% discount
pretty cheap IMO, probably cheaper than a civic or a smart car

Funny story
http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._6613582_n.jpg

Spider stuck inside the headlight, don't know how to get it out... :haha:

On my way to richmond from langley, saw SG outside of lansdowne, doubt he saw me though.

Clutch takes a little getting used to, very light and catch point is way higher than the Z which is in about the middle.

On my way home got a taste of my own medicine while the Z was following me, FUCK HIDs!!! >.<

Another funny story on my way to richmond, tried calling on star, waited for phone to ring for at least a minute... lady answers, "how may i help you" then hangs up on me :cry:

Awesome colour.. The optional 5spoke 18" wheels look awesome on the car (same as the brochures).. YOu should pick up a set of those..

^nowhere to be found,
I found a set of the 5 spoke Sky ones that look similar, but the guy sold them, he still has a chrome set, but not really digging the chrome.

Tirerack has a good selection but locally not much in 5x110, surprising since the cobalt uses this bolt pattern too.

Get these:

SWEET DUDE!!! GRATS!!!! 8D

congratz~ finally bought a car after 10 threads?
nice colour~! hatchback is the only way to go

Get the dealer to replace the headlight for you. You have warranty, don't do it yourself. Modern headlights are sealed, and you don't want any moisture problems down the line.

My friends had one for about 6 months or so now, identical to yours, great car

The astra would be an even better car if GM stuffed the LNF into it...

On second thought, I don't think it's sealed all that tight, I checked today and was shocked to find THE SPIDER WAS ALIVE!!! Crawling all over the housing, made himself a nice spider web. I'll be sure to bring it back, Those lightbulbs look like a pain in the ass to change anyways.

hey how's the power and handling, ride comfort and stuff after a few days of impression?
