2.5? are you having a laugh? Mines went for 3.5k and it was no where near as good as that! Full respray, immaculatly rebuilt c20let! and you can take my word for it that this thing is probably one of the best turbo corsas around...I wouldnt sell that for any less than 4k!

It costs a lot more to put a LET into a Crosa than that.

yes it did, to sxi tim off here. im afraid thats the going rate for corsa turbos, around the 4k mark. TBH i wasnt happy letting it go for less than 4k, but wanted a quick sale! May not be worth it in your opinion, but to some people it is! I wouldnt want to part with a pound for a seat, but then thats my opinion! 
And that one is worth every penny!
And i agree with ed! Its not just a case of buying a engine and putting it in! Cant beleive some people are as simple enough to beleive that! You have driveshafts, hubs, cv joints, mounts, brakes etc! And also the fitting costs if your not in the know!

Steve, it's a specialist car. Taking it to a dealer isn't going to get you the right price for it because a dealer wants it in and out as quickly as possible. You need to sell it to the right audience. I don't know why I am explaining this to you because you know fully well what I am talking about seeing as you seem to have this argument with somone every week...

Can you read? Differant people have differant opinions, some people like fast turbocharged corsas, others like you like nice slow old man cars

Well done, Captain Obvious. My point was that for less than £4k, you can get a half decent, rear wheel drive car, which is newer and a better spec
