How do, just sfter some info on the Corsa sport 1.6 and the Corsa GSi... Looking to buy 1 v-soon i hope, I really want a gsi but bit old and high milage... It has to be a Silver GSi or a Dark Green, Black, Silver, Arden Blue Sport... Dont want a red car as i have had 4 cars in the past all red...
Going to look at a Corsa GSi 2moro, its Silver, standard with cd player and alarm i think, its done 85,000 i think on a M-plate, Wants £2995 for it,
How that sound?
Also a R-reg Sport in Dark Green, No idia on milage, Standard, £2795.
Went out in my mates GSi the other nite, Kinda give me a kick up the arse, so really want 1 now, His is silver on a L-reg, 16in speedlines dropped -60 with a induction kit and backbox... Got to have 1 now Deffo... 
Any info on eather car, what to look for etc, also if you got 1 let me know what ya think,
Cheers, Andy.

Seen your car in the gallerys Mav, looks well mean, if i was to get 1 i would end up with it looking like yours, but i would go for some Arospeed RS-GT's, polished rim, black spokes... I see you got smoked lights all round, looks sweet, Nice grille to,
Yea i was after a 1.6 sport at first anywayz, just kinda like the gsi, sport probs betta, like the inside, nice and dark, also newer, and its cheaper...
I'll see how it goes 2moro...
Cheers...

See the advantage of getting a GSI is its kitted already, it has ABS as standard & no air con unit to weigh it down. Also anti roll bars are standard to. Although they are ageing now. Probably best getting a sport, make sure you get one with ABS.
Check if it smokes (burning oil)
Leaks oil (From the sump)

i agree that 3k is way overpriced for a GSI, one with 72k on it went for 2100 over here

Yea i know... I'll have to save a bit like, but next year i want a 2.0 turbo in it, if not i'll go for a 2.0 16v on throttles, lookin for 200bhp really, Only gonna get it with a turbo, depends how i feel at the time, may have changed the car again...
The idia for now is to buy a nice 1.6 16v corsa, do everythin i want, get it ready for a 2.0 turbo, Then i gonna get me a nova, Build my 1.6 16v nova beast for every day use... and the corsa will be my random 200+ bhp corsa for the track/road...
Cheers for the help with the door handles, nice easy way to de-lock a car that...
