VRS Estate

[martinosmond]

Hi I'm looking for a bigger car as my Mrs needs my Rapid sport for herself and the kids and I'm not driving around in her Corsa!

I was contemplating a Astra Estate or Astra van as I mainly use my car to go go fishing and take my 3 dogs out.

I have however found a 57 plate vrs diesel estate local to me which has done 80,000 miles for around £5500 which is more or less my budget.

I've always bought the newest lowest mileage car I can afford and am a bit nervous buying a near 10 year old car with what I'd consider high mileage.

Is there anything I should be looking out for in this particular model, should I be worried about the mileage and what in general is people's opinions on this car?

Thanks in advance.

Hi mate... Just the usual.. Make sure well serviced and belts up to date..

Tyre wear uneven..

More optional extras the better

Is it a PD or CR Vrs? as the later has less DPF issues as the DPF was a bit of an after thought with the PD engine.

Other things to watch out for is that there is no DMF rattles on idle
