Uncle Jimmy Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Going to have a butchers at a 1996 1.2i, 2 door Corsa next week. Full dealership service history, tax, mot and no grot (apparently), 30,000 mls.If it really is an A-A+ motor, what do you gents think it might be worth??
Station Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 300 - 500? Low mileage and FSH might push it up though.
Cavcraft Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 It depends how you value it: If it's something you're going to keep then it has to be worth £650-ish. Yes, you can get a much newer 'C' for less money, but it won't be as well built or reliable. If you just want to price it up out of interest or to punt it on, then you'd (probably) eventually see £550 for it. Obvs, if you are going to just punt it on then make your own whit room, call yourself THE-GP and sell it for £11,000.
Split_Pin Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I'd agree with Billy here, 650 is top dollar for one of these atm. Please do check hidden areas for rot though. Front crossmember, chassis legs under the bulkhead, rear spring seats on the chassis rails and the spare wheel well. 8v motor is unburstable, the one I had seemed to thrive on neglect.
Bren Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 £500 -700 if it is genuine. £150 on gumtree. £175 on ebay. Vince70 1
Uncle Jimmy Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 ....yes, won't be going on either. Too many twerps. Will be driven about a bit and then sat outside with a note in the window.
sierraman Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'd be wary about its described condition, they don't seem to rot badly cosmetically, the jacking points fall to bits on them as do the chassis legs. 3 dr in particular used tone prone the the B pillar splitting where the bottom of the rear glass was. They seem to hide the grot better than a fiesta.
Cavcraft Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Hand on heart I've never had a badly rusted one out of stacks of them.I think the worse was the red automatic one I got last year, and the hole in that was a really weird one on the o/S/r quarter that looked like someone had made it on purpose. That doesn't mean they don't rust of course!
Station Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 This Corsa with a staggeringly low and genuine 96,000 miles This fine example of a car is accompanied with a full mat set from Home Bargains.5 f*cking grand.PE1
Ukhozi Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 There are Corsas and there ae Corsas. My wife drives a 1995 1.4i Sport C14SE and it goes like shite off a wet shovel, been rebuilt as she drives it HARD for 50 miles each way a day in temps up to 42c, all electrical units under the bonnet plus a second hand ECU, new rad', head skim, new hoses, front struts, battery, water pump, header tank, , seats are crap as the side bolsters wear through and we have delibratly not done too much to the bodywork so it detures keying and generaly just looks to be of no interest to idiots and theives.Parts are cheap and plentiful.
Station Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 The C14SE is a good engine. The C14NZ is the single point injection and is the slower one.If you can get an SE or a 1.5, they're the best engines for the cars.
New POD Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I have a NICE set of Nova gsi 14 inch alloys that would look NICE on a 1.2 Corsa. Would add £1000 to it's value.
Pillock Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 At least the 5 grand Corsa is in a white room. Aaah. Wait.
lisbon_road Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Try to answer the original question. Cavcraft got it about right, but I think that if you are looking for an older model low miles immaculate, you have to negotiate your own price and don't worry about a few quid if it is a genuine car. And of course they don't come with any tax now, just in case you missed it...........
Split_Pin Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Early GSi and SRi models are very rare now, won't be long before they're at car shows then scene tax, next stop the moon. Cavcraft 1
sierraman Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 The 1.7 diesel was dreadful. It might have been economical and fairly reliable unit but by god the one I drove was awful. The vibration and harshness shook the car through. It wasn't that it was fucked or anything either it had done a paltry 90k.
Cavcraft Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 The SPi engines weren't that bad, as long as you knew they weren't a ball of fire. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures of this one, I reckon there's still a few old giffer low mileage ones still out there somewhere.
