Edit: SXi is the top model 1.2, but you can get lower models with what you ask for, should be cheaper too. It's up to him really, there's a lot of choice out there.

Eh up, you're right mate.
Didn't notice the "loses: Air conditioning" and "as SXi, plus ABS" on the SRi bit some how

No problems as of such. Listen out for noisy cam chains. Not a major problem but bit of a pain/expense to get fixed.

For £2800 you will get a Corsa C. Whether it's SXi or not and in good condition is another matter. It definitely won't be facelift either.
