Just been out looking for some cars and came across a Standard W reg corsa B 1.2 8v in arden blue with 48000 miles for...£595 in a garage!!!! Is it just me or is that a bit cheap? Got cd player and 6x9s, checked for rust, corroded jacking points etc and found nothing, seems spotless!!

May not be a 1.2 8 v, were no badges on it that was just a guess. Didnt have a spoiler on it so not a sport. It had post 97 bumpers but they were black, i thought they were usually colour-coded. May be a cat c or d but couldnt see any damage or anything too obvious unless its been fixed n put back on the road

Obviously they still slow, but just out of interest, which ones quickest then? surely a 1.2 should be?

BEST THING TO DO IS TO TXT THE REG OF THE CAR TO 83600 AND DVLA WILL TXT YOU BACK AND TELL YOU IF ITS HAD ANY TOTAL LOSS OF CLAIMS BY INSURERS IT WILL ALSO TELL YOU IF ITS BEEN STOLEN OR IF ITS HAD A COLOUR CHANGE AND ALSO HOW MANY OWNERS ITS HAD.
GIVE IT A TRY

Sounds dodge to me too. I wouldn't expect that price privately, let alone in a garage.

Turns out is a repaired Cat D, not that good condition, roof lining stained, seat ripped etc, needed a new driveshaft and they had put the price up to £995, went to the garage and bought a 1997 fiesta for £750 instead
