ok so im looking at buying a corsa LET
the current owner says the only downfall to the car is a rattle to the exhaust
mountings etc are all spot on he says he had a powerflow front pipe made and this was joined to the existing back section and there is some metal loose in the exhaust which rattles when driving.(guessing around mid section)
i am also unsure if its de-catted or not
anyway just wondering if the rattle could be due to the metal or is somethin seriously wrong???
any help appreciated dont wanna be buying a dog

start the car when you go to view it, listen to where the rattle is comming from, might just be heatshield rattler or something...
then get under the car and have a look.
check every little thing, down to how much wear the disks have/how many clicks the

All depends on how it was built pal... Mine drives as good as my astra coupe (as factory) and give's me no worries at all.
