some people will see it as a good buy because they will pay £1500 for a standard gsi and to buy the extra bits like wheels, light ect, its gona cost them more then £500 so it is a good buy.
other people wont think its a bargain because they want to do something else to it and not keep those parts on it.
also comes down to where abouts you live, i sold a 1.3 m plate escort with a rs2000 kit on for £1250, because it appealead to boyracers,
in essex by the way. in some areas i would of only got £900
valid point i do realise some idiot will pay 2k for this, as you said a boy racer thinking people are going to be impressed because he owns a L reg corsa gsi. Tragic.

Get a grip, corvettes and all the other crap you were on about pal, i genuinly dont care to be honest a cars a car aslong as mine gets me a-b without costing me to much money im happy, and to me the thought of someone handing over 2k for a 12 year old corsa just makes me chuckle. 
No, he's asking about a Corsa on a Corsa website? I.e to the owners on here? Not the nation.. You personnally doesn't mean everyone has to agree with YOUR opinion....
So you don't care....
How many long replies have you put on this post alone.....???
What was that phrase? Get a grip you say?
I can't comment on MOT with this car, but mine is only 3 years newer, and i've never ever spent anything getting it repaired for MOT.......

Exactly. If someones after a clean GSi and its as clean as he says, then the right buyer WILL pay that for it. No-more to say really...

cant believe i used to think like people on here because seeing on here how people think it just seems so pointless and sad being so excited about corsas. Glad to say ive grown up, wish id have realised how sad it was before wasting a hell of alot of money on trying to make a corsa look good. How embarrasing

In all fairness the car is probably worth £1500, but I think Rob will be able to sell it to someone for £2000+. Not because thier "mugs" or whatever, but because it's a mint car with low milage and there arnt alot of GSI's around these days, and some people will be willing to pay this sort of money for a great example.

It doesn't, your pathetic attitude towards others though.......
Shame, you seemed like a nice bloke too. Clearly looks are deciving...
And didn't you modify your corsa as well??????? Pot, kettle and black?
I know corsas are pants, but thats not to say that they arn't fun...
Must mean Clios, Saxos, Minis, AX GT's, R5GTT, Puntos, Fexxy turbos etc are all shite cars that shouldn't be touched...
God the world would be a boring place if people done things like you and done only what "poeple" say you should....
Wheres the sheep smilie??

can't believe your thinking of selling already! Suppose its kind of a step down from ur previous car though. Cupra R would be kewl, dunno how you'd get insured though.
I'm sure someone would pay 2k for it.

David, if you don't own a corsa, why do you come on here?
is it just to argue? if it is, thats very immature.
Kindly bugger off.
What is people's problem? Its a Corsa GSi, its clean, if it were an Escort Xr3i, people wouldnt question 2k, and that would be an older car 
edit: maybe the Escort was a bad example, but people would hapilly pay that for something slightly older, in the same condition.
