I have a Holden Astra 2001 about 150,000 km over the last few years I am having trouble with the car
throttle body, coil pack, seized ignition, computer , I am just wondering if this is now due to age of car and k's or are these an issue with Astra's specifically.
The car is in again at Holden as the idle light is up again (cause unknown at the moment) and would like to know whether it is worth spending more money on it or it is time to look to replace the car ( I have spoke to dealers and it is not worth much now)

Hi there,
These particular vehicles are known to have a few issues,especially when getting higher in age and mileage. Which you are now encountering.
I would say that most vehicles would be showing their age by this time, and will start needing money spent on repairs. Some cars more than others.
I would look at updating to a newer vehicle when you can.
