Won't the VTS be worth a fair bit more?

Sounds a bit dodgy but I'd rather have a Corsa GSi than a Saxo.
Also hope its not a straight swap? GSi wont be worth as much as a VTS so would want some cash your way!
Get him to get the log book sorted then do the deal

I bought my car without the log book. It came in to a dealer and the previous owner had lost the log book so I just applied for a new one. Doing it privately could be a bit dodgy though as the bloke might not even own the Corsa hes trying to sell!

very dodgy indeed, dont bother & steer clear, or tell him to come back as soon as he gets the logbook in his name & compare the details against his driving liscence...
