Opel Astra, 2005, Rovaniemi

It’s an old but faithful servant waiting for its next lucky owner. The inspection is valid for almost a year and the previous inspection’s repair request about the battery’s loose mounting has been fixed. Drives confidently for its age. No rattles, runs straight. Brakes don’t vibrate and it starts well. Two good tyres. Negatives, if you look for them: some rust for its age and the driver-side rear quarter panel is cracked and collects some moisture. The previous owner reportedly had it serviced at workshops, but there are no receipts, so an oil-change service would likely be advisable. The last service was reportedly 4,000 kilometres ago.

In this hatchback you get a 105 hp petrol engine, a modest 5.4 l/100 km road consumption and a Finland-first-registered example with a service book. Equipment includes, among others, an engine heater, an interior power socket and fan, heated front seats, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, and two sets of tyres with wheels. An especially interesting detail is the IDS chassis system, which adds driving stability and makes this car a more interesting option than usual.
