Kezg1 5th Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 I think the 1.4 is priced nicely with minimum margins. Only issue is the reliability though. ...i would say..all cars have their pros and cons...and 1.4 litre at this price wif 5+5 service & warranty is a good buy i reckon...I take this over VW anytime. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelaihoyin 5th Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 I am just being cautious that why would the dealer selling at a loss Dealer will never do a money losing deal. OMV (19k) + ARF (19k) + COE (around 35k) + 20k VES Surcharge = ~93k I would say is minimum margin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner_24 1st Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 my thoughts? they want to clear all stock for Astra, the VES 20k surcharge doesnt make biz sense to carry them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teo2000 4th Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 I am just being cautious that why would the dealer selling at a loss It seems that AG is selling at a loss..... Or maybe they managed to reduce the VES surcharge by 10K just like they did for their Grandland/Crossland? OK. let me talk about OPEL reliability here. Drove the Astra 1.4 T for 24 months already, made numerous trips up north. No issues. If I do not have faith in the brand, I would not have bought an Opel. Read all my posts in this thread since early 2017 and you will get the picture. Making another trip to Selangor in a few weeks time. Cheers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahxiu40 2nd Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 I went for the test drive today. Price reduction is clearing existing stock and the astra have their CEVS being review by LTA from band c2 to B. Which will save the dealer $20k in tax. Not sure what does this mean to car owner. Does it means we are short change now? All current astra owner here, are the steering a really big problem that they can’t fix? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahxiu40 2nd Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 Well it’s pretty good conti feel. 1.4t on paper 0-100 is a flat 9s. As for the interior trimming is quite B2B type. Thus I would say, paying that price is for 9s car? What can I still ask for. Not sure those previous batch have electric seat anot but The current stock doesn’t have electric seat. Maybe they try to cut the cost from all these little feature. How's the test drive?If you are keen the interest is 2.18% till this week.

Ahxiu40 2nd Gear February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 This week deal comes with 5 years servicing and is base on 15k interval now. So basically is up to 75k. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaozhi86 2nd Gear March 1, 2019 Share March 1, 2019 If indeed the 20k ves surcharge is remove, then this car should drop price more to be more competitive to the i30. So I say this is not really a good deal. If drop 10k cheaper then i30 then is a good deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaozhi86 2nd Gear March 1, 2019 Share March 1, 2019 (edited) Hard lah 20k is like the min margin they are aiming for hard to go lower If like that how to win i30. I30 parts is cheaper and easy service in the north. Given a choice, I'll confirm choose over i30. But I do think they can drop 10k. Earlier got ppl mention they only like register 60 cars for last 6-12 month? If continue like that how to hit target set by Opel themselves? There is also Skoda Octavia to compete.
