With the big sunroof. Clean interior. Never smoked in.
Needs:
Front wheel hub to clear the ABS sensor code
B-pillar rubber wind seals are gone and unobtainium
Tires probably due to age
Just had the oil changed, all four brakes and the AC compressor replaced.
$3,100? I don’t know. It owes me close to that with the recent work done. So I basically just want my money out of it.

Can you buy a wind seal from Yurope?

That is an awesome car! See if graverobber will feature it on NPOCP :p
Do the windows leak? I know you mention it needs one of the seals

An angry old man driving nearly this identical car told me to go fuck myself just last week.
Anyway. Sweet find!

No window leaks. The door seals still keep water out, but they are getting old and the sills will be wet after it rains. Carpet is dry though.
And my pics don’t show how bad the exterior is. Paint is sunspotted on the roof and hood. Roof rails have peeled. Mirror caps whistle. It looks like it has been sitting outside and neglected for a while. Which it was.

I’d ask if you were driving around Dayton, Ohio, but I don’t drive this unless I have to.
My wife bought this new.

Worth a look I suppose. Shipping would be 3x what the parts cost though.

I could probably get a set of new or used from a scrapped Astra very easily here in the U.K.
If you’ve a part number or year of build for the car I can phone a few places or pop into a Vauxhall dealer and get one.
Just let me know.

I didn’t know ya still had it! That car is exactly my first car, save for mine having the slushbox. I miss that car sometimes.

I’ll get back to you.
Taking it to CarMax tomorrow. If they offer us enough it’s gone. If not I’ll see how much it’s going to cost to fix a few things.

No worries. Astras are still quite common on the roads so should be able to get a new one, if not we have 'A to Z', where we put on a certain site the item we want and scrap yards up and down the country have 24 hours to respond to whether they have the part and how much they want for it, etc...
