Astra Triple Eight CDTI - Do they exist?

[Wolfsbait]

Hi All

Following much deliberation about having 'one-car-fits-all' and shelling out for a nearly new RS4 Avant, I've discovered that my job may be about to change to involve more travelling and the company car option is no longer on the table...

Sooooo, looking for an oil burner 2nd car that is sub-£15k and a bit more interesting than the norm.

Came across the Triple Eight Astra on an old episode of Fifth Gear and it could fit the bill perfectly....only problem is, with only a hundred out there I've no idea where to find one or what sort of price they're commanding.

Anyone know a bit more about them? Residuals etc?

You can find out alot on vxronline.co.uk... They are often sold via there aswell.

They did the old style astra 888 in blue, but that was a 2.0 turbo. I think your talking about the new model?

Looks good!

That's the model (although not a fan of red)

Hoped they'd have dropped below £15k by now...a vauxhall with good residuals...how novel!

....like it even more!
