ok first off depedns wht year the car is for wether it has higher mialge

mins got 37 for 1996 which is considered lvery low mialge so say ur gsi is 1993 95k is too bad

also how do we know wht your insruance is going to be like if we dont know any of your driver prefrences, and your age and location

Regards lee

Does that mean its to high???

How long can corsa engines last?

ok this is very rough

did with admiral
about 2,300 full comp wid 250 excess
about 1600 thirth part fire theft

It looks great

not 100% sure i think its like 130k soimetihng like that average cars do about 12k a year so for s smaller car itl be like to be around 7k so 7,000 x 12 years 84k miels for a 1993 model thoughly mine should be around 60

only thing to worry about is strange noise if the engine gerally dont sound great, ive seen corsa with 117k on the clock running fine,

but me perosnaly i prefer low milage which sorta helps keep the relablity up if you know wht i mean.

ive found tht if u put someone as a second driver more experainced driver then u say ur mum or dad insruance goes donw

are these cars nippy

never really liked corsa cos all the people i know with em make em look crap, but i like this one.

that corsa gsi will be pritty nippy i think there 0-60 time is like 8 secs stock so yea there pritty fast

wow speedy then

do u think it looks nice?

omg just looked on a site on the 1l versions 0 - 80 in 38.4 secs omg hehe

eh?????

dw i aint got notihng to worry about its cause that one is like a 40bh engine urs is over 100 easly

[quote=\".\"]just insure it as a standard corsa and don\'t ceclare what youve done! if your gonna be third party tell then youve put the mods on but don\'t want your excess to go up as if you have a crash the money will be coming out your pocket to pay for it to be repaird anyway![/quote]

u think?
