Part ex Trade in Price!!

[Topcat]

I was driving past my local Vauxhall dealership today and saw a black Astra estate with tinted windows, I decided to take a look as I liked the look of the car, I don't really want an estate but only had one dog when I got the Civic and now I have two so although they fit in the boot, they dont have alot of room.

Trade in price for mine!!!

£9,500 but it would have been a whole £10,000 without the scratches!!! Hmmmm £6,000 in 9 months I don't think so!!

Or maybe they heard about my moaning to Honda and were trying to scare me away

[Bungle]

Astras are terrible cars. I had the mispleasure of driving them a lot a while ago, and they have tons of problems, drive like dogs and are built worse than any Civic. Seriously.

[pjelsworth]

I think a Vauxhaul dealer is going to give you bottom dollar for a Civic; they don't want it on their forecourt so they will need to move it on quickly which means cheaply.

I also agree with Bungle, the Astra looks OK but thats about it.

Before Topcat started moaning i was offered £12,500 against a trade price deal on another new car.

Wonder what I would get know?

That will teach me to join her in the moaning

The civic has its fault's but I must agree with Bungle I have driven and delivered a lot Astra's would never own one.

The Civic is much better we also own a Corsa which is a great car

10 grand is silly unless youve done like 100000 miles

I have a Corsa, too. To be honest, I hate driving it! It's a good thing I don't have to drive it much, because I am always the 'passenger'...

that is a shocking price, i was offered 12,500 for mine after 10 months, that was from honda though. X

[Topcat]

Well I will be keeping the Civic anyway, I was just curious as to what the Astra was like inside and the idea of a bigger boot for Ralph and Ed (thats the dogs not the kids) seemed like a good idea at the time.

There are loads and loads of used 2006 registered Civics for sale on the Honda website, I find that worrying that people are getting rid of them so quickly? Some have only been registered a couple of months!!!

[geoff]

I have just I had an invite to an open day at my local dealer to meet other customers and staff

Are they mad ?

Geoff, Honda must have sent that to you in error!

I think if they know we were both going to turn up they would cancel it

A happy note to end the year on

Happy new year to all

A lot of the early Civic's went to Hire Car companies, (I could have hired one whilst waiting the 13 weeks for mine to be made) are the second hand ones just these been sold off?

Hmm, saying that I notice Arnold Clark seem to have a lot of Civics for sale at very good prices. I might be purchasing one from there but I'm going to double check it's history before I commit. Was originally going to go for a Diesel, but still a big difference in price from what I've seen (about £1k-£1.5k in the used prices). I should add, there's very few people selling the new civic privately on Autotrader (a national search came up with 9 cars from £13.5k-£17k)
