Been offered a Corsa B 2ltr 16v..

It on a R plate, white and was a Merit to begin with.
Done around 50k and the engine has just done over that with proof.
Its in mint condition..
Koni Coliovers, full exhaust, piper cams, balanced and lightened fly.

pretty much standard inside... he is looking for around 2k?

What do people think? worth it?

If the car is clean then go for it, the coilovers are worth 1/4 of the price

Perhaps go in with a lower offer if you are not sure and let the seller decide.

Engine sounds good but base model

I would personally opt for the transfer of your bits to another shell.But it is a hassle

yeah is a bit.. basicly got all the bits off my blue one to put on it.
So it would be just the same as a sport.

Not sure..... base model thing is puttin me off a bit.
