Similar to my mates, but he has a red car with black leather .

RAC says 2.2 .

Only thing is 2.2 isn't much quicker than the 1.8 cause of the gearing, and it's probably cheaper to tune the 1.8

Nice car though, loads of potential .

Oh I see,

Very nice car though

I'm insured on my mum's 1.8 and IMO it is considerably slower than my Corsa GSi

It is a 2.2, 70k miles on the clock, FSH, aircon, leccy pack (seats, mirrors, windows etc etc), heated seats, ex Vauxhall dealer demonstrator, then was company car now privately owned, leather has been treated every year to keep it in tip top condition.
I'e been after a decent one for a while and only found high mileage 1.8's in my price range (most with cloth interiors) so I'm pretty chuffed with it.

No plans to mod it (yet) as I just want a sensible, refined car for a while - I may change the wheels later down the line but not fussed in the slightest about it at the mo.

Sounds good

Never understood why they didnt make the exterior pack (17"s and spoiler) standard on them - just finished the car off nicely IMO .

Yep, £3.5k
Spoke to the seller today - he had two people wanting to look at it tomorrow, said he had loads of interest, tbh he priced it under market value - still - not my problem now!

Probably just a dodgy car he wanted shifting



Just joking

Was a steal at that price though, had a quick check on AT and it's about £1k under priced!

Yeah, he said he looked on AT and eBay after he'd put it up for £3.5k and thought it may of been underpriced, he took his guide from the Parkers Price Guide which said it was worth £3.7k, he put it on at £3.5k as his new car is arriving next week and he needs it gone.

One mans loss and all that....

Yeah, most likely got offered pittence for it p/x, which is the reason you get a few cheap cars coming up on AT occasionally .
