if it was a 2dr then i would say yes as you could put the flared front wings from a hatch on it and graft the flared rears on too.

It doesnt really bother me the fact it has 4 doors to be honest.

What do yous think about the price?

Ive emailed the guy requesting more pics of the dent in the roof he mentioned, underneath and the interior as its covered up. He got back to me though and siad he couldnt get pics

Looks very clean

I would invest in it, especially at that mileage, could be worth a fair bit in a few years if looked after properly

couldnt even take a picture on his phone and send it you?

depends what your willing to pay for it tbh, i think to the right person its worth the price tag tbh, seen worst cars go for more in all fairness..

I think its absolutely horrible TBF!

Thats my opinion though.

I've never really seen the fascination of the loons.

To me its no different to buying a 5 door Corsa B 1.2 LS

Id personally much rather a higher spec model. SR/SRi/GTE/GSi etc.

@Davieslim - that green saloon is MINT!

Oh i see. My first Nova was a 1.2i GSi Rep. Good fun little cars and a doddle to fix if/when they go wrong!

Most reliable car i have ever owned tbf!
i had it for a year and a half did over 50K in it all i changed was the plugs, leads, pads and tires.

It broke down once but that was due to me over revving it and snapping a Camshaft follower.

Also the head gasket went on it. that was at about 145K though and took about 2 hours to fix.

I like some of the 2 doors when done right. Not a fan of the 4 doors though.

Love them, can remember my dad having 2 growing up as a kid. actually embarrased me at the time but now think there awesome

and can remember both being very reliable.

Both look stunning, get that green one if the price can be haggled down a bit and your willing to travel down and get it! love the colour of it

Spoke to the guy selling the red one on the phone there. He assures me the dent isnt that big on the roof and it is totally rust free underneath.

Was speaking to my mates there too, heading to see it tommorrow night.
