Ive got an Astor gti6 on a w plate its done 115k with 5 months tax and 12 months mot it has a small scrape in the near side rear about 5 inches long apart from that its ok. Not really sure if id be better off breaking it? I wanted a diablo one when i was looking and this came up and wish i had waited. Still want a diablo or red rallye what do you chaps think?      ________________________________________ Team Manstone |

It looks a cracking motor. Too many are getting broken and Astor is rare  I hear what your saying though, due to the current climate they are worth nothing which is why I'll keep mine until i die  ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

You'll make more breaking it but you'll also have a lot of panels hanging around due to astor being so rare. Remember only 60  ~+100 were made in gti 6 form. If it ain't broke don't break it.Plus Diablo is shit, just ask Jamma. ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

Yeah its the same one Ian. Should be worth £950 though. I sold my black phase 3 in May for £1350 on 103K and some c*nt had ran a key all down one side of it. My tip would be don't bother advertising it on here get it on ebay. Oh and +10 for diablo being w*nk. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

Can i give my twopence?Spray the wheels factory silver before selling? Sure you'll appeal to more people! Really struggled to find someone to buy mine and i think alot of the reason is because it had antra coloured wheels on and was lowered, in the end it was a lad who was an enthusiast. I could see a 40 yr old chap buying that as a weekend car, if it was in absolutely standard form. But Jesus Christ what a car.......well done for not breaking it, the difference from breaking to selling would maybe only be a few hundred anyway, Santa will keep you off his naughty list if you don't break it  ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

I know it can be a ballache matey but a bit of paper and tape, leave the tyres on and a couple of coats then lacquered would certainly widen your prospective buyer possibility________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |
