why would anyone pay 7k for a corsa that has never had any attention on the paint, and the engine gets launched down 1/4 on the limiter. saving 2k and buying a rare astra mk1 that has been looked after.
thats allim saying, not baiting nic.

thats just very cool.
i will say it before anyone else does. way too over priced. its just an astra. maybe worth 300 quid. etc.
lovely car though
LMAO

tbh you dont find many corsas that are in the same league as nic's, 500+bhp corsa with as many trick bits as you can think of is hard to come by, so i can see it selling for close to 7k if not a little more to the right person.
that astra is mint condishon and it looks like the engine is well looked after i can see it selling for 5k...
i think a lot of peeps see corsa's and astra's as tinny cheap heaps of crap... average price of a corsa round my way is £1500 to £2000 and thats for something thats done about 70k..
think peeps dont apreciate how much time, effort, and money is plowed into these things

even standard 1.3 mk1's that need work are valued now. So a mint and modded example such as that one is gonna fetch a price.

how does an engine look like its well looked after - because it looks clean - I cleaned my engine bay last week and it lloks mint by no means is it well looked after
However back to the topic - that car is lovely

why claim a car doesnt get looked after paint wise and gets ragged down a 1/4 mile knowing nothing about it and not knowing that its probably mechanically more looked after than anything you have ever owned and will ever own? let alone the paint work on it for a 15 year old car that has never been painted is extemely good. ie, your just trying to bait me which you have failed miserably.
the 300 quid is in reference to the fact any thread about any car people say is over priced. you just dont get jokes. please stop harrassing me. its been reported again as im getting a bit sick of you.

Hardly a fail.
He was 'joking' when saying ' will say it before anyone else does. way too over priced. its just an astra. maybe worth 300 quid. etc.'
Some people really do get the wrong end of things
Just make another thread in PL tbh IMO!

Sarcasm you idiot.
Everytime anyone on here posts a car for sale link it's inevitable that someone will come along and say pfft thats overpriced.
He has sarcasticly got in there first, but you took a large bite and ran with it,

Overpriced imo. Not worth a penny over £4999.
