Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Car wanted

Hiya, hope I haven't posted in the wrong section. I am in need of a small car...around a 1.0 or 1.2l. Would like a corsa, clio, punto, fiesta etc and not too many miles on the clock. 5 doors also as my baby will be going in it. If you know of or have one for sale let me know please...nothing over £2k. x

my next door neighbour has got her deawoo matez for sale but she needed it gone by 10am in the morning as she is getting a new one,its a 56 plate and its got 69000 on the clock and the engine size is a 956cc and its 5 door,it has 12 months mot but she has disabled tax on it so unfortunatley it has no tax!!she want £1800 for it,its been really looked after and its black.

heya, there is a KA for sale on the corner of dale ave in bromborough, i think it was for £600 or £800 ONO XXX

Thank you both, ive seen a corsa on ebay so fingers crossed its not a shed!

Don't buy a corsa with a 3 cylinder engine.

Just a heads up

defo no no no to 1.0 ltr 3 cyl corsa trouble with a capitol T

Its a 1.2 club...so nothing exciting. We did have a 1.4 sri but the emu light was on and over 2 years it never got fixed and was becoming dangerous...especially since I had the baby. I know nowt about cars, nor does my hubby...so its pretty much useless us going to look at cars and I dont know any mechanics.

Black corsa c sxi, £1750. Vgc 1.2 16v
Nowt wrong with the 1.0 12v corsa....they suffer the EXACT same problems as the 1.2 16v

I worked for vauxhall for 15 years i know what i am talking about 1.0 rubish 1.2 far better

What in the stores?? As long as you don't over do the engine ( driving up and down the motorway, fully laden ) then they are fine.

They are shit, end of!

Even if what you have put was the case (which it isn`t) then who the hell would want to buy a car they constantly had to worry about and couldn`t use to it`s full potential anyway?

We are in the motor trade, we know what we are on about and they are shite!

It's a small town car(fact) not designed for regular long distance motorway use. The 1.2. is what do you drive?

I drive a 2.3 turbo Saab, a 2.0 litre Astra gsi and a 2.5 e30, what's that got to do with it?
I have plenty of experience with these corsas as I work in a garage.

Even get old dears bringing them in with 45-60k on the clock having problems, in fact one of the lads in our yard had to replace an engine in one a few months back and it had only done about 53k.

53k that did well.
we were replacing them at 25/30k total crap

Theres still not much difference between the 1.0 and the 1.2, can you think anything the 1.2 suffers from that the 1.0 doesn't ( bar a missfire on cylinder 4 )
