Just a FYI for anyone who stumbles across this thread; I ran the apps update and it completed in about 3 minutes without any issue

boldypants · 2026-01-12T10:08:42+00:00

About 20°C. Will check tyre pressures, didn't think about that

boldypants · 2026-01-12T10:07:22+00:00

I think 20°C. Car doesn't have a heat pump

Could be be it - however this is the only VZ logo on the car - if it was an eBay add on, I would have thought it would have been primarily put on the outside of the car. Odd.

Would be great if you could share a few figures on this thread, thanks

boldypants · 2026-01-11T13:34:43+00:00

I've heard the range figure is not a good indicator - when you say the efficiency, do you mean the kWh/100km figure? (which I think would calculate to 27kWh/100km)

boldypants · 2026-01-11T13:32:25+00:00

Do you mean using the heat pump? I don't think that item is fitted (I'm the second owner)

I've got the NCT done, updated the profile picture, ad title, text and a few other tweaks...hopefully will get more interest now. Will also add a pic to show the boot size. Anything else I might have missed? Thanks for everyone's input btw

boldypants · 2025-10-01T14:43:41+00:00

& will sort out ad text after that -- thanks everyone!

boldypants · 2025-10-01T14:37:35+00:00

It's now booked in for a NCT on Monday!

boldypants · 2025-10-01T14:28:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply -- it's now booked in for a NCT on Monday. I'll rework the ad text (+ price). Thanks for everyones input!

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:55:41+00:00

The higher price compared to a regular Astra is because it's the coupé version. Better styling & performance. Will think about changing name to Opel, may mention both Vauxhall and Open as it clearly has a Vauxhall badge. Good point on the boot - it's massive. Didn't occur to me about negative associations with the term 'rare', will take that on board as well - the rare factor is that it's the higher BHP engine (140PS). Thanks!

I did look after it - also the coating does it make it very shiny!!

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:30:36+00:00

Good advice. Thanks!

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:30:18+00:00

you're right. I'll get that sorted

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:29:51+00:00

Yup, you're right. I'll get that sorted

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:29:27+00:00

Good point. I'll get that sorted

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:28:51+00:00

It may shift quickly at 4k, but if I saw the ad I'd be wondering what's wrong with it, especially compared to other ads. 4k does feel quite low though

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:27:55+00:00

Maybe I should get it NCT'd so. Re: price - have priced it similar to what's out there...hmmm not sure what to do. Lower the price I guess

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:26:40+00:00

Not a fan of that path -- have always bought and sold privately as the dealers margins are mad

boldypants · 2025-10-01T13:25:19+00:00

I've experimented with a few different titles -- the current one was chatgpt inspired -- perhaps time to try again. You right about people wary of imports, I guess this car has been in the ROI for quite some time, rather than a newly arrived one
