On Tuesday 14th August 2007 the MG passed its MOT and after collecting it we went around a couple of car dealers looking at cars that we might like to trade for the MG. We had to put a new set of tyres on the MG before taking it for its MOT and a short while ago we had to have the waterpump and cambelt replaced so it is starting to cost us quite a bit of money. The cost of keeping the MG on the road is starting to go a bit too high for us to afford so we decided we should start looking for a newer replacement car.
We found a Vauxhall Astra automatic at Perry's in Milton Keynes which we both liked. We negotiated a deal with the salesman and traded the MG in for this Vauxhall Astra automatic. We collect the car on Saturday 17th August 2007. The Vauxhall is metallic green and has power steering, automatic gearbox, air conditioning, electric windows, central locking, alloy wheels and low profile tyres. The car is a 2002 model and is in very good condition with only 44300 miles on the clock.
The interior is very clean and neat with no tears or rips in the upholstery and all the instruments are clean and scratch free. The seats are very comfortable although possibly just a little on the hard side. Overall the car seems to have been well looked after and it has a complete service history. We both thought it was going for a reasonable price so we made the big decision to "go for it".
