Wasn't advertised as such but yes. However it does seem the bottom has fallen out of the market for these and the only people who want want seem to be those who can't afford one or can't inure one.

, seems a good price , if you can afford it why not

I would rather buy an audi thats done 70k over 8/9 years than an astra thats done 80k over 3 (or at max, 5 years.)

Local dealership has an Arden Blue Astra VXR for sale (56 plate). Stickered up for £10995.
Every single day for the last 4 months now when I've been driving by (and I don't know how long before then) they've had it right out the front in prime position.
I'm tempted to one day go in and make a cheeky offer, as by now surely they'd be sick of the damn thing and give it away!

I don't think you would.

A 9 year old S3 will happily raid your wallet of any spare cash you have and even some money you don't have. Regardless of mileage, as the age increases, so does the potential for wallet rape.
And NO ONE likes rape in the wallet region.

Do people enjoy rape in other regions then?

You've been offered it for that because thats all its worth. Ask Princey - his was lower mileage and he couldnt give it away - he had it for sale for months.
Thus it isn't a no brainer and neither is it depreciation free motoring. Therefore all my comments in the other VXR thread apply.

6.5k doesn't sound that cheap to me, for a 80,000 mile astra?

Depends how old really.
If its an early 2005 / 2006 car the price is probably about right. Look at this

and almost half the miles, but only £1k more.
If its a 2008/2009 car then it may be a bit more of a bargain.

The car in question, starting to think it isn't too much of a bargain.
