I mean when compared to the prices of others. The generally go for more than that.
Totally standard too, looks clean, not many can say that.

Its not normally priced, IMO thats slighly under the market value.
They never shift because there is a massive misconception these are a unreliable nightmare. This is great news for buyers as it pushes the price way down! In reality they are quite simple to work on.... Engine rebuilds hardly cost a lot.
Great cars, and if somebody bought my Corsa off me (not that its for sale LOL), I'd seriously look at one. Ok it probably wont be as fast as the corsa unless I gamble on one well in excess of 400bhp, but its not all about going fast!

I disagree with that
they are a pretty light little car, so it would only need to match your power to keep with you in a straight line, plus if it was from a standstill it would say

That is not normally priced, it's blacka nd looks in good condition bodywork, it prob needs a rebuild or is on it's way that's why it's cheap it's around the magic mile age. you would pay around 6k for one like that that's running ok on that mileage, rebuilt ones go for around 9k.

Lashed a 350bhp one other night....
And before you say bull shit, I was in the RX7 as a passenger and my mate was driving the Corsa (admittadly not as hard as I would drive it either, plus its a bit quicker now!).
First time I've seen my car go from another moving car, looks crackers!

LOL!
I only trust Andy in it as hes got a Nova with pritty much same mods, so he knows what the score is! Though he noted that (prolly due to 16's), there is a lot more torque stear and it will spin 3rd up in the dry easily compared to his!
You can drive my 1.2 Clio if you like

 furry muff
dont think the rex can be running 350, or your running more than you think
The power : weight ratio's dictate that you wouldnt be able to just "lash" it surely??!

We were only on a duel carrageway (my disadvanage if we were on motorway Corsa deffo in its element), plus think there were 4 peeps in mine (though cant remember as i wasnt in it!). Was certainly pulling away, without as my mate said "taking it up near the top end".
I do know he has a couple of minor problems with the boost on the Rex, but can't see fixing them overcoming the difference I saw. Plus I'd of pushed my car harder, and I've only just fixed it so I can get full throttle (first time in 2 months!).
Seriously cant see a Rex shy of 400bhp actually getting past me.
