seeing as i'm thinking about buying a new car, I thought I'd better check the going rate for Corsa GSi's. Checked Autotrader...... prices were between 2200 and 3000. Are people paying these prices???? I'd expect to get 1500 max for mine.

Is that a factory roof? What about electrics? How are the B pillars?

i looked into getting the b pillar cracks fixed when i first got the car in '99. However the quotes were in the region of £600 - £700. Didn't seem worth the money to fix a minor cosmetic issue. Has been through 4 MOT's with them no problems....

37k, thats been nowhere!
I paid £1900 for my white one. The pillars are fine, in fact the entire body is very good considering its age. Its not perfect tbh but you'd need a very close and critical eye to call it a problem. Especially when you consider that at that age its a full respray to get a good colour match.
I might go for that one day but after a reg and some Alessios
I think there's a wide range of prices because one with manual windows no sunroof (or worse, an aftermarket sunroof) and costmetic stuff like pillars is less desirable that one thats been lucky enough to both faired time well and have the options.
Thats where your 3 grand goes.
