Astra Help

[wigwig7]

Hi All,

I'm going to be sacrificed for saying this but I'm looking at purchasing an Astra. This one:

Find used cars and new cars online - CarPoint Australia

I have no idea where to start looking but I'm trying to find out if it has an Auxillary Input for an Mp3 Player/iPod

If anyone knows that would be great or if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated also.

Thanks,

Adam

P.S. If it doesn't have the option are there specs on the headunit and the possiblity of getting it modded/replaced to accomodate this feature??

Cheers

G'day wigwag7,
My partner has an Astra (so it's still a kind of sort of related to a Holden) and it has an input on the centre console next to the handbrake.You can't see it in the photos because they're from wrong angles,you'll have to look personally(no don't take the sellers word)
Cheers Brian.

Sorry on another note does anyone have any positives or negatives before buying this car?

its got the chain driven engine, not belt, thats a huge plus,


parts will be a little more expensive and repair bills are generally higher cause they can be difficult to work on, but other than that, there not bad

one of the worst cars trust me you will have nothing more then regrets and problems my cousin owns a mechanics and car yard and nearly every single astra he has sold has come back in the first month with somthing wrong im talking about 15-20 astras main problems are handbrake getting stuck, doors/locks jam, engine light will constitently come on gear shift wont engage, just to name a few. lol up to you personal opinion id go a corolla for a small car or stick to a real holden

[wigwig7]

Is that true? I can imagine older Astra's having problems however this one does seem to be in good nick and still has 2 years left on the factory warranty, its a 2007 model and its also been regulalrly serviced with only 13,000k on the clock...

Anyone else got their opinions on this particular or like model?

*BUMP* Anyone??

*BUMP* Anyone??

if thats what your happy with, go for it, earlier ones (ts's) had a few design flaws but the ah's are pretty good going

my mum and sister have one each and 05 and 06 model, only problem so far is the window switch broke(the little plastic cover popped off), that was fixed under warrenty.

besides that have not had a problem, great little cars

They are not bad cars. Brakes can be expensive though. No real problems with that model (or not that i've seen, and we see a lot of them at work!). Definitely worth a drive, but I don't think there is an auxilliary input on the stereo until 09 model year.
