72000 miles
1.8 Engine.
I can get up to 39 mpg off of Shell V-Power Unleaded on my commute.
Fairly complete service history - Having a major service on Friday at Marshalls Vauxhall of Hitchin.
5 months MOT
6 months tax

Mods...
GSi bumper
Anthractie SE2 wheels - not bad, but not perfect condition - easy refurb if you have the time.
Lowered 40mm
Opel badges and OPC grille
Custrom plate, H9 JCN, included in sale. At last valuation, regtransfers.co.uk said they would pay £400 and do the paper work for it.
Brakes (discs and pads) on front are 7 months old.
New timing belt 13000 miles ago.
Tyres - 4 Uniroyal rainsport's, all with good life left in (4-5mm).
The car has always been washed at least once a week, waxed every two weeks, polished every two months and clayed every six months with previously meguiars but now some dodo juice stuff too, so the piantwork (other than listed below) is pretty much perfect and would put most 3 year old cars to shame.

Bad bits -
Very small dent in off side rear arch
A few car park knocks which are only really visible in the sun and when very clean.
GSi bumper is scuffed underneath and has a nasty scratch on offside corner - touched up but visible up close
Had a side on side impact (my nearside), rear wing popped out and filled, rear wing and door re sprayed in a perfect match although there are some tiny bubbles only visible from a foot away and only when looking up from the floor at them - repair work was carried out by a bmw repair shop.
Stone chips in bonnet will also be touched up.
Rattle in passenger door card
Radio isn't wired to aerial - i don't have the key thing to open it. (but the the head unit is a pioneer cd player)
Centre console is a little scrathched and faded - although I have a spare to give away with the car.
Front number plate slightly peeled, I have full size plates to give away with the car if the shortened plates aren't to your taste.
Driver side electric mirror doesnt work up and down, i think it just needs reconnecting, never opened it myself.
Mudflaps are cracked from reversing them into a curve, just flexible plastic though so still strongly attached.
1 LED out on dash (left hand side of 4).

Reason for sale - I have placed a deposit down on a VX220. I still need the astra to commute to work until Friday.
Every defect I know of, I have listed. No offers. I feel robbed for letting it go for £3000. Also, to the buyer, if you can keep the car in as good condition, I'd like first refusal when you come to sell it please.
Located in North Herts. Can pick you up from Baldock/Biggleswade train station.

I saw this car last weekend and it really is good looking.
At £3k, its an awful lot of car for the money. Colour looks lush as well.

Thanks Michael. That's whilst the car was filthy too.

You sound suprised!

Europa is the gentlemans colour of choice

Heres a pretty picture of said Europa Blue and what a few hours of elbow grease can produce.
