2008 Vauxhall Astra Club CDTi 1.7 Van
“The Astravan has earned a strong reputation for reliability, that coming through many years of continual development. As a result, it doesn't have any particularly glaring reliability issues. Build quality is leagues ahead of its predecessors, as is the technical excellence of the diesel engines”. Not our words but those of the RAC when reviewing this particular model.
Similarly, Parker’s Guide described this Astravan as “Great to drive” and “Stylish” and “Handling is excellent and it copes as well with twisty roads as it does the motorway fast lane”. We wouldn’t argue with that opinion either.
This particular example in white has been well looked after by the previous owner, drives beautifully and has many years of faithful service in front of her.
Sure it is a work van, fitted with its high quality Rhino roof rack bolted through the roof and there are the odd marks and scuffs on the bodywork which bear testimony to the fact that it has been used but very definitely not abused.
The strong 1.7 litre turbo diesel engine and six speed gearbox with well-chosen ratios means this Astravan is not only highly practical, but she is actually fun to drive and is an ideal van for anyone not needing anything larger.
All Skywood's vehicles are subject to Pre-Delivery Inspection and the detailed report is included in the numerous pictures to give you as complete a picture of the vehicle as possible. This particular example also benefits from a new MOT and service so the next owner can look forward to just jumping in her and putting her to work!
Providing sensible cars at sensible prices is at the heart of all that we do at Skywood and we operate a professional, no pressure car sales experience as our reviews and customer testimonials attests and this has been recently recognised by the award of the prestigious AutoTrader Highly Rated Award 2023 for our customer service.
All major debit and credit cards, apart from American Express, are taken in payment/part payment and we invite you to contact us with any questions you may have before arranging to view the vehicle you are interested in buying.

This lovely little Hyundai i10 Style presented in silver has only covered a warranted 38,013 miles. That’s an average of only 3,454 miles per year across its 4 previous owners which perhaps explains why it still feels just “right and tight”!

A really nice example benefitting from full service history, low mileage and only two owners on the V5 over the last 13 years who have clearly not abused it. It feels great to drive with no nasty surprises and should provide the next owner with many miles of economic and enjoyable motoring. Don't miss this one as it really is a cracker!

This gorgeous blue Ford Focus Zetec S comes with an MOT through to 30th January 2025 and freshly serviced. Offered at around £300 below market value to allow for the fact that it has a dink on the offside rear wing as pointed out in the video and with an MOT through to the 30th January 2025, this is a really nice example and ready for the next happy owner to drive away in :)

    Hello, I am thinking of buying the same car, I would like to ask you to tell me your opinion about it, how is it as a car, does it consume oil, how are the sheets, how does it drive, thank you in advance

    • @skywoodcars5296
      @skywoodcars5296 4 місяці тому

      The 1.4 litre petrol engine in the Rio was a brand new design at the time by Kia and has a very good reputation for being a strong and reliable engine. As with any engine, if it is looked after and benefits from regular oil changes using the correct grade, it will go to a high mileage before it starts to burn oil. I am not sure what you mean by "how are the sheets" but the Rio 2 was a significant improvement on the original and the low down torque makes it nimble around town and it easily keeps up with the traffic. The only thing I would criticise is that it really could do with a sixth gear to pull down the revs on the motorway but you soon get used to it! In my opinion it is a good, reliable car which is a pleasure to drive.
