Hey presto we may have a winner here!!!!!! Found what appears to be a mint Gsi - 62k on the clock (95 reg which is pretty damn good ey!), and alll seems fine!
Price - 1990 - that seem ok - is trade, so should be able to banter - get 200 off or something. But could part exchange my old car and get about 6/700 off as its got 62k, and nothing wrong at all with the engine, everythings in good condition too. Keeping my nice dishy alloys for now though until i can get some speedlines.
What does everyone think - i know its hard without seeing/hearing/driving the car but i think it could be a winner..











doesnt appear to have any rust or dents from what i can see, shame about the seat covers.... england stickers says to me older married couple! wooo

IS THIS MY NEW CAR!

Would be amazing to get hold of such a mint one and keep it 100% original. England flag removal is essential though

yeh i was thinking 1700 would be better. but 62k on a gsi isnt very common!

i wouldnt mind anthracite speedlines.....tints.......smoked rears.......dont think i'l find jacking point covers.............lowered 50/60 mil - lovely!
Wouldnt dare change the engine till im used to it though. Sxi to Gsi - wooo!

rang the guy today - i said for him to tell me the truth or he loses the sale.
been kept in a garage all its life - no rust on the chassis / bodywork. Only thing wrong is a cig burn in passenger seat and a few scratches on body.
He says he'l knock it down to 1650/1700 if i buy it the day i go (which i probs will!)

Gsi's will always be higher priced than sports, weather you agree or not they are a more desirable car, same as J plate Mk3 Astra Gsi's go for £1500 when there in good nick but you can pick up an R reg Astra sport much cheaper.

Paying for the badge and the kit plus Sports look boring

What Ian said, C16XE GSi (which that one above is not) is the one to have, its the fact its a GSi, the best Corsa B of the best.

The fact it is colour coded and has a kit as well helps a lot.
