thinking of buying corsa opc

[danny]

yeah i traded in my mini cooper s which had 100,000 k/m for a golf gti at vw dealership here in melb but the car had been hit bad they must have done it while they where doing the roadworthy and the denied it car drove like a pig all over the road and all they kept saying was the car was ok ? had some test done on it at other places and was told that the car had been hit pretty bad in the front end .... so what do i do ? that when i seen the opel corsa opc went around to the opel dealer and done a straight swap, didn't tell them the car wasn't wright so I'm very happy great little car love it .....

Good on ya mate.welcome to the OPC club.lolHope you have many miles in it.

[danny]

just trying now to find some rim for it ??? very hard to find things for it........ in melb

What size you looking for?

[danny]

18 or 19 as my standard wheels are 17 so i think the biggest i can go is 19 ?

[sooty]

19's are too big for a corsa (as are 20's on the astra IMO). Find the wheels you want by searching the European forums, then find someone who ships to aus

[danny]

thats to much work hehehehehehehe cheers

Was offered $2.5k for both my Barina and Calibra I feel your pain

was also offered $200 trade in for my 1999 sb barina aswell.

I bought a $40k car and they gave me $1k for my Astra G with only 94,000km

The private sale market is tough nowadays. I also traded my Polo GTi (I had 2 cars to trade) because I had already had it on the market for 7 months and only had 3 serious calls about it.

To be completely honest, if you havent got anything owing on the MG, just accept the trade and bear the loss. $18k for a Corsa OPC is still pretty good. Plus, its better than dealing with the pain and hassle of tyre kickers and test pilots.

trade-in always pays crap prices (i got offered under 14k for my Astra which was then 6 months old when inquiring about trading it in for a 50k plus car !!!!!). As Hazrd said, just trade it in if you got nothing owing on the car and then at least you got rid of it. Also saves you on rego and insurance. Who knows how long they have that opc still for...
