Noticed an advert for the latest Astra estate (sorry, Sport tourer) in the paper earlier and nearly fell off my chair when I saw the price, now dont laugh but for a 1.3 diesel Astra estate they want (and I kid you not) £21,500
Mrs WR has just paid £16500 for a new 240bhp Astra VXR Arctic......_Batty_ said:

massive warranty now too.
And so they damn well should. They have been less than generous in the past with known faults caused by poor design costing £000's to fix and Vauxhall only paying a proportion if really pushed. (As evidenced on the Vectra C and Signum forum)Tyre Smoke said:

The Vauxhll Lifetime Warranty will apply to the first owner of a Vauxhall registered from 1st August 2010. Vauxhall has defined ‘Lifetime’ as 100,000 miles but don’t appear to have put a time limit on. So theoretically you could go out and buy a new Vauxhall, do 3,000 miles a year and have a 33 year warranty.
The warranty covers all powertrain, steering system, brake system and electrical equipment. You need to have an annual inspection and you’ll have to adhere to servicing schedules to keep the warranty valid. Vauxhall are also planning a programme to allow subsequent owners access to the Lifetime Warranty.
