#7 of 17 Re: unexpectedly purchased an Astra [diexodos1] by pafromfl Aug 24, 2008 (8:43 pm)
Replying to: diexodos1 (Aug 24, 2008 10:16 am) I bought it in Melbourne FL.The current GM employee discount for everyone may help you lower the price. I'm really enjoying my Astra. It has nice little touches like a hydraulic strut to keep the hood open, rear reading lights, and rain-sensing wipers. For its size, it provides a surprising amount of room for four adults. The engine seems happy lugging along at 1500 rpm, and I have yet to stall it even though I hadn't driven a manual in many years. It handles very well in spite of the torsion rear axle (as opposed to fully independent). In fact, it is more fun to drive around town than my BMW 330i because I can drive it hard without violating traffic laws (although it is quiet enough that at first I tended to creep past speed limits when cruising). If I push my BMW hard, many laws get broken very quickly.
#8 of 17 Latest Incentives by timmboj Oct 20, 2008 (11:42 am)
I've just started investigating purchasing an Astra (helping my parents). I usually spend a month or so researching my own vehicle purchases, but they're planning on buying this weekend while I'm visiting. Any interesting incentives for Saturn or GM that you all know about that might help? They are existing Saturn owners and love the one-price/no haggle ways of the dealerships. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. Replies to this message: no_one (Oct 20, 2008 3:42 pm) slocko (Nov 23, 2008 12:11 pm) slocko (Nov 23, 2008 1:22 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: timmboj (Oct 20, 2008 11:42 am) There are currently no saturn-wide incentives as far as I know. However, a number of dealers have been offering their own incentives on the astra. You'll have to check in with your local dealer or look at their ads.... Replies to this message: slocko (Nov 23, 2008 12:11 pm) slocko (Nov 23, 2008 1:22 pm) kyfdx (Nov 24, 2008 7:30 pm)

Replying to: no_one (Oct 20, 2008 3:42 pm) Hi. One dealership told me that they now qualify for GM employee pricing. That only seemed to know off 1500 off the price. Anyone know what is the best way to get the best price on this a fully loaded Astra? Replies to this message: slocko (Nov 23, 2008 1:22 pm) kyfdx (Nov 24, 2008 7:30 pm)

Replying to: slocko (Nov 23, 2008 12:11 pm) okay, i think i'm going to go with the 3 door astra. i got the dealer under 19k which is inline with TMV and pretty much invoice plus the 1500 dealer incentive.   i don't see a thread on leasing information? any help here? looking for a 36 month lease.

#13 of 17 Purchased another Astra on purpose this time by pafromfl Dec 23, 2008 (10:48 pm)
I gave my white manual shift XE hatchback (see #4 “unexpectedly purchased an Astra” by pafromfl Jul 30, 2008 7:29 pm) to my daughter and traded in her 2005 Sentra Special Edition automatic with 30,000 miles for a white manual shift sport XR hatchback with 14 miles for $8760 out-the-door. My daughter prefers a manual shift, and I’m happier knowing that she now has ABS, more airbags, and hopefully 3-5 years of warranty. Also, my XR handles a little better than the XE, has a better sound system, and sporty 18” wheels. The future of GM and Saturn is in doubt, but I like the Astra so much that I’ll happily take my chances. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Dec 24, 2008 1:00 pm) pafromfl (Dec 24, 2008 1:26 pm)

Replying to: pafromfl (Dec 23, 2008 10:48 pm) What was the msrp of the xr hatch for 8760 otd? Was there a trade in or gm card involved?   thx -jim Replies to this message: pafromfl (Dec 24, 2008 1:26 pm)

Replying to: jfritsch (Dec 24, 2008 1:00 pm) The MSRP was $18740, the rebate was $2000, and the trade-in was the Sentra. The paperwork showed a $8715 credit for the Sentra, but I suspect it was worth more like $7000 as a trade-in. The dealer had a glut of Astras and was probably more interested in reducing inventory than making a profit.
