Hi all,

Im looking at buying a Corsa as I have now sold my Nova,

I was wondering if you could tell me if the following seems like a good offer as Im unsure:

1.2 8v L reg,
86k,
FSH
In white with standard colour bumpers
Some tyrpe of splitter,
15" 5 spoke fox alloys all with new tyres,
K&N induction kit,
passenger side door handle/lock completely smoothed,
saxo spoiler blended to corsa spoiler,
some type of bonnet scoop blended in the bonnet,
reasonable cdplayer/speakers/sub
window tints
12months mot & tax.
for 1600 pounds

Theres acouple of other bits and bobs too. Ive not managed to find any rust except for in the engine bay on one of the corners. Wheres the most commonist place for rust on a corsa?

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers
Gaz

So would i look at spending that amount of money on a 1.4 16v sport or something then?

yeh its a 93 year.

So, if i were to go for a 1.2 itd be the best option for a 1.2 16v not 8v? and also, i can afford insurance upto a gsi but no 2.0l's, which corsa is the best model to go for?

cheers for your speedy replies!

Depends how experience a driver you are. IMO i would get the gsi if you can afford it you will get bored of a 1.2 8v very quickly. I have a 1.4 16v and this is quite a nippy car good if you are not as experienced driver. You wont get a sport though for £1600

Hehe Buy a Clio

No just kidding missus has a Sport. Not a bad little car. Hers was a N reg with 45K on the clock and cost £2500 a year ago

Go for something with a little bit more power or it will get boring!
