Sold Popular* small car for sale.

[Cavcraft]

Everyone's favourite small car for sale.

 

 

1994 Corsa 1.4 G-L-S (say it slowly, it sounds posher) hatchback

 

MOT July 2014

 

6 months tax (5.5 months really, but 6 months sounds better)

Power steering, central locking and (not very) snazzy wheeltrims.

Very cheap to run, tax and insure, great little runner and as cheap as chips!

 

Rear door has a dent, no stereo fitted. One tyre is illegal (but I'll find a decent enough one if wanted) and when cold it needs a few revs at first then is fine all day long.

Only have new keeper's part of V5 but you can collect car from my house and a full receipt will be issued

 

£275 no offers, Chester, Cheshire

 

Might swap for a good quality cycle, NO BMX bikes, no rubbish

 

*Small shiter's discount available.

 

**Not small shiter as in a short person, though they are welcome, small as in small discount.

 

 

 

 

[Shep Shepherd]

The seats look really nice

[Skizzer]

One tyre is illegal

 

OMG what's that Crimestoppers number again?

 

Looks very tidy, GLWTS

[Cavcraft]

It's an illegal immigrant I meant to say.

Ah. Learning-to-drive memories. Though I don't think BSM used anything as posh as a GLS. Struck me the other day that 5-door Corsas seem much rarer than the 3-door ones.

[Pillock]

GLS seems to suggest upper-mid-range but I see lack of rev counter and keep-fit windows. But very snazzy seats! Was there ever a Merit, and how poverty was it?

[aldo135]

I learned to drive in a white 5 door, brings back memories! Much cheapness GLWTS

£275, what can you buy tested for that much these days? Norrra lot.

 

Its small

 

Its economical*

 

Its tested

 

It'll sell. GLWTS

[Cavcraft]

There was a Merit, no wheeltrims, keep fit windows and those fabulous cloth seats that looked shit but were dead comfortable. The seats in this are very much like the Cavalier GLS ones, really plush.

[Pillock]

It'll sell but probably to some masochist who fancies trying out a "retro" car. Those that should be buying cars like this - the unemployed, people on hard times, youngsters needing their first car - are still going to get financed up the the eyeballs for a Clio that'll get repo'ed in four months time.

 

Regardless, it is a decent motor for the money....

[lisbon_road]

Can't beat a C14SE engine.  Most Corsas seemed to get the ghastly single point injection engine. 

 

Much better car than people would think, even if they do bounce about a bit.

 

It'll sell.  Good luck.

Dent and ghastly trims aside that looks very tidy, I had a set of those seats to go in my Nova and yes, they're superb.

1994 Corsa 1.4 G-L-S (say it slowly, it sounds posher)

 

I genuinely 'laughed out loud' at that. That 2 spoke steering wheel looks sporty.

 

 

The seats look really nice

 

Vauxhall really excelled at velour upholstery in the 1980s and 90s. The ones in my parents' '86 Carlton were superb.

GLS is a decent spec. I had an LS on a P plate and it was pretty miserable .

 

I had a 1.4 sport as a courtesy car for three months and 10000 miles back in 2000 when it was spanking new and I loved it.

 

My P reg one was bought as a result of said courtesy car. But it was massively shit in comparison despite only being 3 years old at the time. The LS spec and 1200 engine made it far from fun.

 

Bargain at that money, these held their value really well for a long time back in the day.

 

A quick check on DVLA and my W reg sport is still taxed whereas the LS is long dead. Says a lot...

[Cavcraft]

Oh aye, I've got a W reg (1.4) Sport for sale too!

[Split_Pin]

Sell the sport interior to meeee! Your GLS looks way less rusty than mine and is a lot older too. Mine only gets away with it because it's a dark colour. DEFCON BARGAIN LEVEL 5 EXCEEDED.

[Cavcraft]

OMG, still for sale etc.

[CortinaDave]

Get pics of the sport up!

[Cavcraft]

Sold that one!

[CortinaDave]

Wasn't W606KFS was it?? (Extremely long shot)

[Cavcraft]

[CortinaDave]

Identical to the one I had! The insurance company took bloody ages to sort out a claim I had, so I managed to rack up 10,000 miles in their hire car, which had only 20 miles on it when they gave me it.

 

Was very sad when I had to hand it back.

 

Great wee thing. Did the sport have improved suspension or something? it was 1000% better than the P reg LS.

[londonm]

Wow, good use of bumper black on the white one! Good luck.

[Cavcraft]

To be fair to the white one it was cleaned up by it's last owner (or last seller) and he's done a good job of it.

[Hendry]

My sister had an X reg 1.2 SXi in hardon (Arden) blue cracking seats again very huggy and nice material, looked pretty good in that colour with the wraparound boot spoiler (3 door Corsas without this look shite IMO) very odd spec though, because it was basically a 1.4/1.6 Sport with smaller engine, no leccy windows meant you got a CD player, leather steering wheel, central locking, power steering, electric heated door mirrors, colour coded, the wraparound spoiler, sports seats, alloys, rev counter etc but manual windows.

 

The Merit was uber miserable poverty spec, IIRC early ones didn't even get a glovebox lid or cassette player just a stereo radio, no rear wiper.

[Cavcraft]

Sold!

[messerschmitt owner]

OMG, still for sale etc

Two days  - Autoshite Rule 82 says you have to scrap it now if it hasn't sold.
