Cavcraft Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 ...cunningly disguised as this ..or as good as, because in true AS fashion I couldn't actually be arsed to go outside and take shit, sideways pictures on my phone, so nicked that one from an internet auction site. Anyhow the specifics are as follows:2001 Corsa 1.0 Comfort.12 months MOT6 months tax.Power steering, central locking all that sort of shit.70,000 or so miles on the clock (will double check and amend if needed).There's a receipt for the cam chain replacement at a Vauxhall dealer before we got it.Had a right load of work done at last MOT and since, including replacement subframe, new wishbones, a service, regular oil/filter changes, brand new OE wheel trims and quite a bit more.It's had the oil pressure switch replaced recently, so there's probably another few thousand miles before it lets goes again like they always do!Totally original save the rear lights which are the smoked type off the slightly later model, but genuine Vauxhall items and look loads better than the standard ones, plus it will come with an after market CD player. It has been reliable and it's UBER on fuel. I've not worked it out 'properly' but it'll definitely give my 306 diesel a run for it's money.Insurance is very cheap, cheaper than a 18 year old Micra for example and it will still have the hidden box thing fitted (insurance company aren't arsed about having it back) so if you go with them (InsureTheBox) you'll save even more money. Only for sale because my son has got one year under his belt and has bought an Alfa 147 now. It's been in our hands for about 16 months I think and is used daily. Fab little car (if you like modern ish cars) and whilst it won't set any pulses racing it's a very competent thing. £995 ono, AS discount available.I'd also consider delivery for fuel, train fare home and some scran but I doubt I'll have time to go hundreds and hundreds of miles. Or just come to Chester and drive away in style*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boobydoo Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hello. My name is Cuthbert Peasbody. You haven't clarified in your advert whether it's a 'barn-find' ? If it isn't then I'm afraid I wouldn't be interested. Cheggers, wuvvum, Doctormop and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think my lad paid £1,900 with InsureTheBox. Which, as expensive as that is, is about equal to the first payment on some other quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Had a corsa b with the 3 pot unit. Had great fun trying to get it above 90. Great on fuel to say it was thrashed mercilessly and good fun in bends. I loved that motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I love three cylinders, but they tend to be a bit thrashy. Unless you have the Justy 1.2, which has a balance shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
