    LPG conversion last Sept, only 8 or 9m ago. That would suggest to me a bad idea. ie not cost effective on this type of cars or a problematic conversion.
    IMHO not the kind of car worth LPG conversion. Better done on large petrol estates and 4x4.
    I would be suspect of 83000m being genuine unless well documented.

    2 doors! and LPG

    I had a 2 door astra on hire recentley, worst car I have driven, I found it very awkward to put the seat belt on, and getting in and out of a 2 door car in tight car parks is hard

    Also put a year's MoT on it; only 4 months left currently. There are plenty of cars around with a year's MoT.

    Agree with other posts; LPG conversion not attractive; can cause a lot of issues if it was not done properly.

    Can understand LPG on a 4 litre + engine but on a 1.6 ?

    But at least its got branded tyres fitted and not Linglong ditch finders.

    Lots of reasons, doesn't look very appealing, poor light, the car needs a good clean and tyres would benefit from some tyre shine and the K&N Air Filter may put a few people off

    It gives you better than diesel economy, without having to drive a diesel thats likely to have major maintenance bills.

    It would hold appeal for me.

    Also, it's on eBay. Not the most popular place to buy cars.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    Find a euro car wash or similar who'll use wheel acid on your wheels to clean them properly and slick the tyres

    Also, stick it on autotrader too. Ebay isnt the first place most people look for a car.

    And as its free anyway, gumtree.
