I bought this corsa back in 2007, It was a write-off that had been fixed and put back on the road (all legally and properly).

However, during my ownership, its had a couple of engines, so the milage on it is way out, and the current engine in it has done near 100,000( i never changed the clocks).
It parted from me because i crashed it! All the front arm etc was knackered, same with the rear axle. I fixed that, however the chassis was bent.
I sold it to a friend for £100 as he wanted to run around in it for abit and genrally Kill it. He then told me he scrapped it, Yet ive found it on autotrader.
THIS is just a warning incase anyone has seen it and is thinking about buying it, DONT BOTHER!! Its a right shitter.
Just thought id let you guys know, Cheers

"didnt change the mileage"
You arent supposed to change the mileage if you change the engine thats illegal.
The guy has stated its accident repair so probably CAT C, whats the big deal? You just upset that someone made more money out of it than you?

If its got no service history and its recorded then you buy with caution, anyone who buys that without checking it over is an idiot.. But to be fair the guy has been honest enough with the advert..

The prominent 5 owners and the picture of it idling all over the place shows it's hardly a minter!

Good man for the heads up,
If you read the Add it makes out the car has been damaged and fixed once proper. So he's just warning people that its been damaged twice so thats good isnt it? Also if its been Jigged (twice) would you really want to buy it?
Also looking at it i wouldnt say it was worth £700+ even if it hadn't been damaged?

I just thought id let people know that its had one offical accident and one fixed half by me.
At the end of the day im just saying, that i owned it and to be totally honest abused it with the whole "first car madness" so i wud advise you to buy with caution.
i dont care if his making a profit on it tbh its not my problem. I got £100 and i was quite happy.

Thing is, cars have such bad accidents and are fixed by insurance and is not recorded in any way at all.
