4.2 Overall rating
(52 reviews)The car is working great No issues, minor scratches expected, very clean inside Would recommend Happy as
I turned up they had pressure washed the engine, it was dry when I inspected before taking it for a test drive. When I drove off test drived got back it was smoking everywhere and the man tried to tell me it was spilt engine oil.... It was not!
I wanted to buy this car but I observed from my research that one of its issues is oil leakage which is either coming from its engine or gear box components. Its also not so cheap to fix as it cannot be ignored.
ive got astra 2.0 cdti elite 13 reg never had any problems withit in 6 years been a joy to own
The car is a good deal for the money. I like it
