2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Exclusive 5-door Hatchback

Description

My 2012 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Exclusive 5-door hatchback is a solid, reliable car I’ve had for years – it’s been a real workhorse for my daily commutes and weekend trips. It’s in blue, which I’ve kept clean and well-maintained, and it still drives smooth with that 1.4 petrol engine. The manual gearbox isn’t fancy, but it’s easy to handle and gives you a good feel for the road.

The 5-door setup means it’s roomy enough for my family – kids, groceries, and all that – and the interior is fairly modern for its time. I’ve kept it well looked after, so it’s got air con, alloy wheels, and a touchscreen system. Safety features like pretensioner belts are all there too.

I’m moving to Egham, Borough of Runnymede, and this car is going with me. It’s not flashy, but it’s dependable and I’ve used it in all sorts of weather. It’s not a show car, but it’s been practical and quiet over the years.

I’ve been selling cars for 30 years, so I know what to look for – and what to keep out of a deal. Most of the cars I’ve got are from local sources, so they’re value-for-money, and I’ll take your old car in for part exchange. I’m happy to help with finance too if you’re thinking of getting it.

Just a regular car, in a regular place, with a few years of real use behind it – not a luxury, but what I needed.

(Price: £2,695.50 – if you're interested, I can give you a full breakdown.)
