Yes but that won't handle as well as the normal one.

Do a Corsa so it looks better on the CS exclusive session

The worst that could happen is I get lumbered with some random mk3 Astra sat outside and get ranted at by the folks for the next 6 months.

It's got tax and ticket, he'll want loads.

Best bet there is to wait until it finishes and doesn't make reserve, then go in 50 quid under and tell him you'll be there in half an hour and he has no Ebay fees to pay.
