172 sold..

[sjtb]

Got £8,400 for it!

Despite all its sh*tey build quality faults I miss it dearly now compared to my ridiculously slow rental 1.4 Renault megane crapola. Hoping to get the new 1.9 Turbo diesel astra soon as company car:

Not too shabby tho I dont think:

Maximum power: 150PS (110kW) @ 4000rpm.
Maximum torque: 315Nm (232lb.ft.) @ 2000rpm.
Compression ratio: 17.5:1

Si.

Diesels have come a long way over the last few years, performance is getting better and better.

You got a good price for your car mate.

Im trying to sell my 2002 flame red 172 and no one seems to want it.

It seems like if i put up for 8.5k no one would have it!

That astra seems like a goodun. Think your campany will let you get it chipped because i bet there is nigh on 200bhp in that!!!
