Opel Astra
Opel’s Astra used to be the thinking person’s hatchback in South Africa – a proper challenger to the VW Golf and Toyota Corolla, but with that distinctly Euro lightness to its steering and suspension. It never held value quite like Wolfsburg’s finest, yet, on paper at least, it always gave you more for your rand: decent kit, turbo punch, and a price that didn’t sting as much. These days, though, you won’t find a new one on a showroom floor. With just seven used listings, all pre-2017, this is a back-lot or classified hunt, not a dealership visit. Engine choices span a 1.0T, 1.4T, 1.6T, and the frugal 1.9 CDTi diesel, with manual or semi-auto ‘boxes. Prices? From R69,500 to R184,500, with most sitting near R114,900—so budget for a fair bit of wear and tear. You’re looking at cars with an average of 157,360 km under their belt, so expect stone chips, lived-in cabins, and service history that’ll need close scrutiny. The 1.6T Cosmo, at R184,500, is the one you’d want if you pack smart—proper turbo shove, all the toys, and a more buttoned-down drive than the base 1.6 Essentia at R85,900. The 1.9 CDTi at R69,500 is a clever pick for anyone dreading another petrol price hike; diesel’s still the pragmatic call for high-milers in SA. What you’re buying, really, is that taut Euro steering and chassis, especially on the N1 or R21—feels purpose-built for the road, not just tossed together for the masses. That’s the point.
Opel
Opel’s never been the obvious choice in South Africa, and that’s exactly why it still has a loyal following. It’s wedged between mainstream and premium, a zone that attracts those of us who don’t care for the Polo’s badge tax or the Corolla’s resale hype. If you’ve grown up with an Opel on your driveway—or your parents’—you get the appeal: Euro build, but without Peugeot prices. Scroll through the classifieds and you’ll spot 42 Opels, with all but two being pre-owned. Prices start at a shoestring R69,500 and climb to a hefty R589,900, but most hover near R144,900. That tells a clear story: new Opels are unicorns at local dealers, so if you want one, you’re looking at used. That R144k median is right in daily-commuter territory, and that matters. Look closer and you’ll see the Corsa is still the bread-and-butter, spanning 16 listings from old-school hatchbacks at R69,500 to turbocharged newer models just shy of R286k. Mokka and Crossland shift the focus to compact SUVs, with the Mokka topping out at R529,900—serious commitment for a used Opel. Astra’s there too, with seven listings between R69,500 and R184,500, still a solid shout for families who want hatch practicality. Petrol dominates, with diesel only sneaking in on a few SUVs and Astras. There’s even one Grandland at R589,900—definitely not for bargain hunters. On paper at least, Opel’s value comes from cramming more features for your rand than you’ll get from the big German or Japanese names. The buyers who know, know.
