Any good? My friend is looking at one as we speak and wants to know are they a good car and worth buying?
Has all the extras, has 16k on it and is priced £9,300.
Cheers in advance

Ermmm, the 1.7CDTi in the Corsa D's is 120ps iirc, so faster than the Corsa C 100ps.
Is it an SRi? I saw a petrol one at a Vauxhall dealership with finance decals etc all over it. Had obviously been sat for a while, 'cause it had dirt/rain runs down the skirts, so that looks like bit of a problem with it collecting dirt between the join and the body work etc.
SRi interior is red and pretty gash.
Other than, I'd say they're pretty good.

Yes its the D and its for a girl. So i guess red interior won't bother her.

They're nice the SRi, Less common than a VXR in my opinion too...

Overpriced if you ask me. I have an 07 plate 307 which i think i paid 9.5k for cash BRAND NEW. I did get a good deal mind.
Had it a year, done 21k and tbh i'd be very happy to take 6k for it. It's served its purpose by earning me money at the end of the day.

Yeah, do the 1.7CDTi in pretty much every model.
Won't have the skirts problem.
SRi looks better if she can stretch to it.
Another thing to consider, is the 1.3CDTi (which may have cheaper tax, it's worth checking) can be remapped to 125ps

Have a look at the petrol models Iain. Unless she intends to do a lot of miles and keep the car for some time it may not be worth it in this climate.

How far is it from Wigan?
I do 90 miles a day in a 1.6 which does 500 miles to £55 if you don't hammer it.

I'd look at petrol versions too Iain and see if it's worth shelling out for a diesel.
Our Ford Connet didel van uses more fuel to and from work, same with the old Belingo.
