    A Corsa down my throat of the woods is like a magnet for the Halfords crew.
    They dress them up in skirts and call them fast .
    It just shows, with a minimal spend and imagination you can have a cheap car for sale.
    Lovely video and I just love your dry humour.

    My dad had a 2013 corsa D 1.4 turbo black edition a few years back. Great little car and never had any issues with it. You got a good car for the money 👍🏻

    I’m a well built bloke like yourself, I was given a Corsa D as a loan car with the same seats. I found it uncomfortable, it was the worst 3 days of my life. I couldn’t wait to get my car back 😂

    Used car values in the UK are hilariously low!
    In the United States sub $1,000.00 used vehicles are as rare as unicorn droppings and everything around $500.00 would have been sold for scrap.
    A vehicle in similar condition and mileage would easily sell for $2,000.00.

    I appreciate the savvy nature at 23-24mins! £35! Having a laugh! Ebay is king for such items. However just in case you did not know, especially as someone who has owned many corsa's and now has an Astra H SRI, typically when the resistor has gone/going (as above, with the fan only working at setting 4) is typically because the blower fan is on the way out (too much resistance, resulting in it not working at anything less than max), so a new resistor may only work for a few months (happened to me lol). Luckily the blower fans are cheap on ebay too, for ones Astra they are like £30-40, so I can imagine a Corsa is around the same, if not a little cheaper. Easy to change too.

    • @stephenjackson6042
      @stephenjackson6042 Рік тому

      this is especially apparent when you change the resistor and it gives off an odd electrical smell when turning to a setting between 1-3 :P (For my experience anyway haha)

    I’ve owned VW’s for the majority of my life so far. The odd Fiat, an Alfa or two. Now a 2.2D Mondeo Mk4 which I think is great for the money. But a year or three ago, I bought an Astra H 3dr 1.8 SRI which suddenly changed my view on Vauxhall’s. That handled the bends with ease, but the engine was as dull as dish water! I’ve never thought of ever owning an Corsa though.

    On the left flap in the boot there should be a tyre compressor, right side thats towing eye, jack and brace they sit in foam holders. Your also missing the boots false floor. It's a year older than my sxi. Mine in much better nick though, the rear arches must have been sprayed. Where the bumper joins the arch its a notorious rust and bubbling spot on the D
    Behind glove box you will find a relay they blow that's why only works on number 4. As for glovebox the 2 little plastic connectors will be in the glove box take it out and they will fall out 👍

    Not a bad car for the money. But as a dealer you have to add in labour costs. And what about the speed censor ?...the busted fog light ?. I would like to know what the profit is when you add EVERYTING in as your actual profit margin...as a dealer...is a bit misleading.
