yes to the metallic paint, although i've never been sold on air con. I guess i don't enough in order for it to be really usfeul. Just your normal 10-15 minute drive to the shops or the girlfriends house. Wind down the window and everything's sorted.

to be honest with you, i've kinda been put off by private sales (no offense intended to the person who i bought this car off). I just figure that with a dealer you get more piece of mind for your money.
How much does the average AA Mechanic charge for an inspection?

i guess i'd be ok if i took a mechanic along with me. and asked all the proper questions. Then again if the vehicle is still under warranty then there's no reason for there to be anything wrong with it right?

thanks for the link mate.
Would you recommend taking a mechanic along even if the car was still under warranty? or just someone who has a keen eye for detail?
the Corsa on the 2nd page of that Autotrader link for £6000 looks nice.

the second and third year is not transferable on vauxhalls. I think that is true. Ask chewy, he knows about it?
