I've ordered the diesel for my mrs, dog slow as Olly says but its perfect for her and looks really nice.
The dealership did everything they could to put her off, saying they would spec a car up themselves etc etc but couldn't get near the same price with the level of kit. It sounds like they are doing the same to you imo. No idea why?
This is how it looks.

THey are lovely.
My local Vaux has got a normal Corsa SXi 1.4 16v in white with same rims as mine but has the full kit on, 10k though which is a rip off.

If they are trying to put you off it's probably because its shit and they dont want you trying to return it when you find out it's shit

They do look good though Graham, I'd have one if they had sold it for £6500  and not £12500

Oh yeah not doubting that, I love how they look, but you can get VXR's for that money!

Some of the lads on Corsa-D are buying these cars at like 24 years old, surely they can get second hand VXR's and insure them for the same price unless of course they aren't into going fast but I don't believe any man wouldn't want a faster option.

Exactly my point! For someone who is 17 and wanting a lookalike, yeah maybe, but otherwise I don't see the point!

insurance, running costs etc etc.
although being 24 years old and driving a 1.2 vxr wannabe is pretty gay if you're an enthusiast.
