I think that's a good price tbh, as you see knackered corsa c20let's go for 2.5 3k so this being a grand more an in mint condition with the added bonuses such as decent stereo system, nice interior and a car that could easily fit in with the "scene" again with very little tweaking !
Good luck with the sale daimo, its worth 4k all day!
People who are trying to diss or not like the fact it's 4k are just trying to make it cheaper to buy for themselfs.

Oh so because I think it's overpriced, that means I want to buy the car? Give it a rest

I reckon someone will buy it, make a few changes, and everyone will be saying how much they like it.

Been there,
Pip Always happy to Hope no-one whinges about picture whoaring now. tbh, Its nice to put them together instead of the umpteen pages on the fotki over the years. Plus Im off work with builders in and the dogs asleep on my lap so give me something to do
Front changes..
Dash
Exhaust/rear.
Engine
Custom washer/header tanks too.
Unfortunately the chromes pitted on the cam cover now, but I've got a standard spare that will be included. Plus we have used some of my old purple XE hoses too now.
Boot. If anyone remembers Carismas R5GTT, the subs are out of that, as the ones he got were not very good. So he swapped them over to top spec ones, and he put her ones in the Renault
Brakes (turbo)
Randoms
I never saw a Saxo spoiler leveled and smoothed so well, ever!! Most sat up in the air and not level, and lots cracked. 5 points for naming the old members face in the background
Some trophies
Some mag shots. Also made MORE magazine, been on 5th Gear on tv.
Oh, and the noise, still love it. But as I've said on the video, tapping the limiter was certainly a one off (my fault, told her to let it rev )!!! In fact I think its the only time its been revved that high ever
Naughty limiter

My fave corsa of all time. If I was after a decent corsa I'd be buying it. Even if I didn't like the car and wanted a corsa turbo I'd have no worries paying the asking price and selling some parts and make it more subtle.
Get it on eBay and the likes and it will sell.

I agree that alot has been put into it , I remember 10 year ago when kitted corsas was the bees knees and in thing it was probably worth a lot as it was one of the best about .But tbh I don't think you have a hope of getting anywhere near 4k , in fact I would imagine 2k , the market is too small now and 95% of people would feel a total cunt driving it . Put it on eBay it will make what it's worth on there. I think I would advertise without the sound system and sell that separate

That corsa must weigh more than the moon.... No chance

4k is possible i'd say, like everyone says put it on ebay/pistonheads/whatever and see who fancies a go. Splitting such a piece of corsa modified history would be a great shame but would save you from seeing pictures of it wrapped round a tree or completely fucked, just like JagCorsa.

Rent it out to tv shows imo earn some money from it. Could even be a film that car.

Yup, it did. I doubt the driver could drive for toffee tbh, young rich Indian lad in an E46 M3. Got right up behind her, generally driving like a tit. We were cruising home from a show. Knocked it down a few gears, nailed it, he tried to keep pace, by which point we'd left him. Laughed when he tried it again further down the motorway. Could have been in the wrong gear etc, but he certainly tried. Corsa weighs a lot, but also a lot less than an M3. Tbh, you can believe it, or not, its no real bother, it was like 8+ years ago
Steve, what video is this, you keep mentioning it, but never heard of that vid? Is that you trolling again? I quote also... See I've got so much I could rip the micky out of you for, but I'm not as lame as you

Irony....
Willay, it would be a shame to see it ruined, and that was one of the reasons she never wanted to sell, but as we dont go to the shows anymore, I doubt we'd see it again. It would be financially better to strip, but effort I'd have to put in over money gained, just not worth it for us. Too much going on with life really. I'd love it to go to an owner who'd enjoy it too, but no-one could put the love in we both have to the car. Hey, you've got a big barn, fancy a new project. haha

An e46 m3 also has 340bhp lol its not that i think an e46 m3 would destroy that corsa, i do however think it would be faster.. Sooo he must be a shit driver

Ahh, but dont forget, a stage 2 VXR will outpace an M3 on mid range acceleration, and thats got much less power, but more weight than the corsa.
LET corsas are fricking quick in gear. Destroy XE's in a silly way (got another vid on my page). I reckon our Corsa will weigh about 1100kg odd tops.
Im not silly its no supercar at all, but in the right gear, right revs, theres not much that will keep up to around a ton (just dont start from anything below 30mph ).
But yeah, doubt he could drive for poop. I mean who drives a brand new M3 with gold tissue box in the rear window, bearly being able to see over the wheel

Ive been in let corsas and astra vxrs albeit not mapped.. Always thought they had too much power for fwd so could never achieve thier potential

Off the line for sure, awful. I didn't find the VXR to bad, if given hard beans with TC on it kicked in (standard) of the go, but when running it was fine. Even this "torque steer" was BS, it pulled slightly, but something you could control with 1 finger it was that light. I guess a remapped one would suffer more, but doubtful its that bad really.
Corsa though, scrabble scrabble scrabble for grip from standstill. But thats what makes them so fun. That said I doubt ours has seen over 110mph and never driven in anger from the off, even at pod. It was a show car with some go in it, but not a race car. But I've been in all sorts in my younger years, 300+bhp LET's, 250bhp XE's, allsorts, and the LET is the most looney concentrate car (XE was just awesome, LuckyB's).

think wats happening here is the fact yes In theory it is top quality and does have well specced parts but the corsa b is becoming a dead car now I stripped my xe and I really struggled to get rid of some parts and I had to let things go for very low money like steiny skirts £20 or else id been left with them!!!
there is a lad selling a 350bhp let corsa b round my way with house of kolor respray etc etc good parts an well specced and he is looking for 2k which I believe is still a lot for a car 15 years old with no real credentials about it i.e its not a mk1 golf, cars like corsa's needed to be modified with the end result being you lose a lot of money sad fact but very true!
