    I have a friend who asked me how much would it cost to convert a MANUAL Astra to AUTO???
    I think the year of it is in the 2000's, will post the exact year when I find out.

    I'm used to the whole VR/VS conversion prices but for an Astra I have noooooo idea.

    Idea's guys?
    Cheers! :)

    im only guessing but i would say it would be cheaper

    the way i look at it, early commodore conversion are quite sort after cause most of them are auto, so they are harder to come by and seller knows that

    probably 7/10 astra are manual, so wreckers should have **** loads cause its a fairly common car and the same engine and gearbox was used over a few models for many years. proably pick up a complete front cut of a 97 model for peanuts

    Take the price it costs for a regular Holden...and then triple it.

    yeah thats what I thought, I just said to her either learn to drive a manual or sell it and buy an auto and just risk losing the 2 - 4 grand.

    Cheers guys

    my girlfriend had an astra (2000 model) it was a manual and she wanted auto, we got quoted 4500$ for the conversion so she just brought a new car.
