I take it this is an x14xe ?

How rare is an sri in this form ?

Has done 95000 miles , still worth a look ?

aaah, right. if its a runabout, probably better getting something thats cheaper to run/insure, unless you are getting it really cheap?

for that money yeh. im guessing you have slightly more to spend? if so.... buy it for £450

then get the cambelt and water pump done... and an EGR valve off ebay for £40 and your sorted

Well I don't really intend on spending a lot on it tbh.

Cambelt would cost another ton anyway and I can't be arsed doing a cambelt myself again.

Would like to just run about to work etc , tidy it up a bit and sell on once my cars finished.

Do you reckon I could sell on for more ?

because the sri engine doesnt last all that long from my experience (not unles you can afford cambelt changes etc when it decides to be gay)

mate ... the sri is a great car.... but honestly if its at 90 odd k miles, itll need a cambelt and water pump. and the EGR valves always go on them (piss to change)

so yes for £500 notes its a bargain, failry quick, look good and CAN be reliable, but its a gamble

yeah fella. but surely youll expect a £500 car to go bang at some point? doubt youll get better than a corsa sri for £500 mate, i loved mine

I had a 1.4 16v Sport that had 76k on it, same engine. Ran it for a year no problems. Cambelt was changed at 65k when I bought it.

if the cambelt has been done, go for it, if not, its a bit risky, but its a runabout

you'd probably get most of the £500 if you stripped it if the engine went bang anyway by the looks of it. Tints, lowered, spoiler (although not to my taste) etc. Can't complain for £500
