Morning all,
I've recently changed jobs and losing the company car benefit so in the market for a new car quite sharpish. Got a budget of roughly 5k and probably siding towards a D rather than anything else. Really like the white D's but I've not seen any within my price range until now, stumbled across this on AutoTrader:
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201238485872386/sort/default/usedcars/colour/white/price-to/6000/price-from/5000/model/corsa/make/vauxhall/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/postcode/lu54hh/page/1/radius/30?logcode=p
Seems slightly on the cheap side for a low mileage car only a couple of years old to me, but knowing very little about cars I could be very wrong! If anyone could give some advice on how much I should be looking to spend on a D ( especially the one above ) that's only no older than 3-4 years with a relatively low mileage, it'd be much appreciated

Do a hpi check on it, it might have been in a accident and written off, how much cheaper is it than other cars with similar age and mileage

It will be a scam. They steal the advert, reduce the price and pray on nieave people.

Cheers for the prompt replies  A car of a similar age from what I've seen is around 1-1.5k more but I've also been looking in dealers rather than private sales so thought this may of been a reason for the lower cost.

Bit cheeky not declaring that in the advert. Can only mean he's hiding something.

If he's the person who repaired it by law he has to tell you.
If someone repaired it and he bought it as is now selling it he doesn't have to say. Up to buyer to check b
Don't think he's cheeky really, he's priced it cheap enough. Been cheeky would be asking full whack.

Cheers for that Richard mate, thought it was too good to be true but picked up a smart red D from a Vauxhall garage today so not all bad!
Thanks again for all the replies
