1 of me mates foned him and started messin him bout just cos of the wheels on it as in he started askin more money wit the wheels or the price his got it up 4 wit out them
just found out its had 10 owners and is a cat c write off sounds good already
How can a Corsa be that much of a lemon, theres nothing complicated about them.
lol at being scared of cat c,cars are wrote off at 2/3 of their PRE accident value ie if a nova was worth £300 (in parkers etc not on png!)
Then it could ba a write off on £200 worth of WORK/PARTS which not necessarily means collossal damage.
Yeah but when its not mentioned when selling. I dont mind buying written off cars at all.
If people have any sense when buying a car they will hpi it first,or at the very least that text shizzle
im sure i have seen it advertised some where else on the web, probably corsa sport or retro rides...
TBH i dont bother hpi'ing anything over 5 years old, you look at it, if its straight clean etc i dont care if it has had a new tailgate or locks or someone has tried to do an insurance job on it.
imo unless its stolen id buy it like if i was happy after i had had a good look around it.
its got no paperwork, and an unregistered redtop conversion. & its had a prang....
it might be very good, or it might not.. your risk really

same as said before just go have a look if your interested but it may be a pear i wouldent travel far to look at it when its got that kind off rep!!
As said. It's a Corsa. Check it has papers and is straight. Nowt else to know really. lol
Only found out a year ago mine was a cat C write off in 2000 it got written off for having a prang on the o/s front wing but no structual damage so just gos to show that they can be written off for very minor things.

is a risk but wit that sort of money and has them problems then i would walk away really
build yer own one for that. and it wont be bent or nicked or raped or illegal.
Seller can't spell, car looks sh!t, is illegal and blah blah blah. Yeah, a cat C could just be a dented wing, but it also could be a complete front end bend. I wouldn't buy it, but thats me.

Same here. Seller sounds like a muppet. I wouldnt buy a car from a muppet.
yeah ive already decided to leave this its to pricey for a car with no paper work and write offs dont worry me really as long as its been repaired rite
