I ordered a new Astra SRi, and I took delivery of it today and it's got SXi badges on the side. I was not too happy, and looking up the car there isn't a new SXi so I'm confused. Is there an SXi, or has it been badged wrongly?

Nice one.

phil_focus

can't answer your question but is the rest of the spec sri?

maybe they delivered the wrong car?

Benni

No idea mate, I wouldn't know the difference between the SXi and the SRi. How would I know?

there isnt an sxi on the list http://www.comcar.co.uk/newcar/compa...ll&model=Astra

Benni

I can't find one, as you say, but why would it be badged as an SXi?

Why not ask the dealer where you bought the car?

Benni

It was shut. And yes, I could have waited 'til tomorrow, I didn't want too.

take the fucker back. tel them you want wot you have paid for mate

Less.

Benni why not check the car as it was delivered?

AFAIK on the previous shape astra the SXI was just the normal Astra coupe right down to the 1.4, then the SRI was the bigger engined models (1.8 vvti?) might be different over here though with it being Opel rather than Vauxhall?

The SRI comes with a coke bottle in the rear pipe,the SXI does not iirc.Does this help

Benni

I didn't notice it at all mate, just assumed it would be what I ordered. Well having been up to Vauxhaull and nosing round there are a few cars like mine, with the deeper seats and what not, and they are badged as an SRi. Plus, I cannot find an SXi for sale anywhere, so guessing there is no such thing, which is weird, as I have one apparently.

I know that Rax, I ordered this one 'cause I prefer bottles of Dr. Pepper.

I heard you bought a astray so chip would like you then you could try and fuck him?

Benni

If it came with the bottle in the exhaust as advertised, I wouldn't need too.

What does it say on the V5?

Mark B

Maybe some one else has one and they could tell you if the specs the same?

Sounds like a company car, otherwise why would you buy one?
If you have actually paid for an Sri and they have sent an sxi, then my friend you have been done! Sxi is basically base spec, Sri is the nicer one.

My suggestion as to what has happened is the following. You ordered a company car, in the time it's taken to come the vauxhall astra has changed shape and the lease prices have gone up. Looks like they have sent you what would be classed as the same spec in the newer shape.

I might be wrong but that's my guess.

I'd wager it's a 'free' motability car.

Beggars, choosers and all that.

to be fair to Bennitard, he doesnt state "bought" he says "ordered"

I'd still take it up with the company you ordered from

callums

if its a motability car they have all been badged up wrong for some reason no hardship just take it back and they will put new ones on

DanW@FastFord

Why on earth would they badge up Motability cars wrong? It's not like they're any different to the normal cars?

Fiddy

If its a motability care, it wouldnt bother me if i wasnt paying for it, its still a free car

mcst

Surely any Vauxhall dealer can put the reg in and bring all the info about the car? Go to your nearest one and get the answers.

I don't know what search engine everyone is using but it's obviously the wrong one.;

er... you do realise that's the old Astra?

callums

some mong in the factory could not be bothered to go get some there is thousands like it

Benni

It wasn't free, I pay monthly for it, along with a desposit which enabled me to upgrade to an SRi, hence why I wanted to make sure it was the model I ordered. It is an SRi, and has been badged wrongly.

I didn't beg, as I am in no financial posistion to have too. I could have gone out and bought this car if I wanted, but then if I was to do that, I'd have probably come back in a Ferrari.

1; I don't normally take any notice of Vauxhalls let alone Astrays

2; The website's called "New-Astra".
You'd have thought if Vauxhall wanted to continue selling cars they would at least put the correct cars on the website.

You get a set fee a month of 51 pound I think which is to help with getting around unable to walk ,thats what they take of you what the goverment gives you,you could of had astra for free but wanted the sri spec so have to pay a small deposit
