decided to flog the corsa after summer and always fancied one of these. When i was about 12 my mates dad had a brand new one (probably not a GT-4) and i thought it was the coolest car ever

So whats wrong with them and what could i get for about £6k? ive seen a few older ones with the pop up headlights on atotrader for about 3k but i prefer the later ones with round lights.

for 6k you can get a uk spec one - around l,m reg

jap spec ones are a little more - 6.5 - 7k

see here for the specs...
http://www.alltrac.net/specs/GT4Specs.htm

wots wrong with them? nothing in partucular - just usual wear and tear

70-80k for a new turbo (mine lasted to 94k thou)
front suspension arms wear, and aint cheap either
rear diff mount likes to go, but they aint too badly priced

The skirts were on the car when i got it, they are actually aftermarket jobs, havent seen many others like it in this country. Personally i much prefer them with skirts. i no trd do quite good ones for them.

The spoilers came on the wrc models, which come with 3 spoke alloys. personally i quite like them, but dont think it would have suited mine.

If you buy one you wont regret it, just be prepared for high fuel bills!!
