AaronW Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 he said he wants a cheaper car to run,due to the miles he does each week.yeh, it is a corsa,would of prefered it to be a nova tbh,but i dont know alot about the z20let engines. Quote
Giggz Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Sounds dodgy especially the speedo cable comment. Quote
AaronW Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 ollie,i have to agree,and i cant think of a single thing id do to make it look good :-/ Quote
ollie ryan Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 i dont think you can make a corsa B look good tho, always thought they look terribleand also i couldnt live without electric windows lol Quote
AaronW Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 the guy is (suprisingly) happy to do the deal,i sugessed the cash and him travelling up to me and he said yeh straight away.hmmm,... Quote
Joshua.J Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 If anything take it, strip it sell parts make more money buy a nice ep82 Quote
TRD Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I would test drive the Corsa first and make sure everything he mentioned is right. It seems a good deal mate, only if the Corsa really runs like he says. Get him to bring the car, have a look and if you're not satisfied then pay him his fuel money and explain why you backing up. Quote
bazza Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Me personally I wouldn't do it azI've got money sitting here but I'm in two minds what I want you know when your heart is set on something and it's gone, I feel like I don't want any other car Quote
adz_sportif_turbo Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 you can get a standard c20 to 300+ bhp,,,there forged from the factory. be careful. make sure there are receipts. Quote
