get them to look for the following model/deal
Astra 1.6 16v Club 5door.
Vauxhall have offered a deal to the garages, where if they take a few cars in one hit, and register them in their own name first you can get this car at £10,995 on the road.
Thats ABS, 6 Airbags, AC, CD, Locking, front elec windows, elec mirrors, 15" alloys, adjustable steering.
Thats on the road, taxed for a year, 3year/60k warranty and a service schedule up to 2 years or 20k apart.
Metallic is £325 extra (worth it in every way). It will be registered to the dealer from day one, and only swapped to you after 90 days, so expect to sign a "loan car form" so the dealer can prove its still in their name even though you get it straight away.
You'll have to insure it and pay for it, up front,...its just our way of getting round the forced registration laws.
So if any friends or relatives are looking at Focus or Golf, get them into an Astra and see if they like it.
Should find this deal anywhere...if you go to a dealer and they look puzzled, PM me and I'll tell you what to tell them.....
some sales teams are not too switched on and dont know the deals.
