What has surprised me more is that there are actually no Corsa GSis on the trader right now, 6 results for gsi but two are valvers and the others just have the word in the listing.
So technically your car is priceless as you can't replace it!
I think if they've altered the offer to include a short MOT and lack of SH you can quite successfully argue that it is in fact in good order given the recent work on it.
Surely the actual history of the car - ie. work recently completed - counts more toward its condition.

God knows Ian there was no swaying her. She says once a price has been set then there is no negotiation on it. To at which point i tried to argue and say look at AT and she said , well like i said earlier, it was my car he was evaluating no-one else.

I have storage as well for as long as you need it.
I don't see how they can't consider the price of similar cars - what are they giving you money for - women and booze or another car

Yeah, my Laguna ended up a Cat C for much less than that.
If that's what they say though, that's what it is.
