I'd like a stylish replacement for my Astra.

Hi. I'm looking to sell my 08 sxi 2 door white petrol opel astra 200k km. What can I expect to get for it? Also I'm looking to buy a diesel car. I'd like a 14 or newer. I've 15-20k to spend going down the finance route. What would you recommend please?. I want something stylish. Thank you.

Our answer:

Hi Lisa,

You’ll probably be offered around €2-3,000 as a trade-in for your Astra. As for a replacement, well first define what you mean by stylish. One person’s style is another’s fashion disaster, after all. Still, in that price range for a 2014-2015 car, there’s lots of choice. You could max-out on style and go for an Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Or be more sensible and get a BMW 1 Series. You could be really sensible and get a Honda Civic (my choice – the best for reliability and they’re good to drive too), or what about a MINI Cooper D?
