[Jagztorious]

[jaybiss]

[BenSilverSaxo]

Would be stupid to buy that mate, red is a gay colour! No offense to anyone with red cars, there is hardly any on here anyway!

Looks shit because it isnt metallic!

[jaybiss]

no im not

i like it, lower and spray alloys :)

[Gazzza]

no im not

i like it, lower and spray alloys :)

good.... lol i will be lowering it and saveing up for some alloys (better than standerd...
some angel eyes (proper ones this time lol...)
and um yea red is a good colour :) red is the colour of passion = ill pull more :P

+ it looks sporty from other views... and the fuel cap has a imisher sticker and it looks so real... hard to notice its a sticker unless you go close.. :)
oh and the imisher door sticker things (looks nice) looks like carbon fiber... all the i's close to eachother looks good :) ill get more pics later when i get the car

[Jacko]

does this mean gazzza is leaving sax-p?

[Gazzza]

does this mean gazzza is leaving sax-p?

although u mean that in a sad way you are desprate for me to leave...
shame im not lol...
as after a few years... (or something daft) this car will still be worth something if i look after it...
and then i shall get a 03 VTS or something ^^
so no im not leaving sax-p :D

[Graham]

gazzza why are you making plans for the car and the one after that already...

[Gazzza]

coz by that time VTS will be easy to afford and run etc :)

[phillyh]

To be fair

the Corsa SRI's are rapiiidddd as hell!
Mate has an 04 plate SRI

stupid fast...


for a corsa
LOL

[Graham]

coz by that time VTS will be easy to afford and run etc :)

and they will be ancient by then

[Mitchell]

coz by that time VTS will be easy to afford and run etc :)

not if you wrap it round a letter box

[leeK9]

youll be able to get classic insurance for a clean mk1 then.lol

[Gazzza]

riiight

Have you been in many fast cars?

Problem?

LOL

thought this thread was on about SXI's? lol

[Jazz]

Mate of mine has a 1.2 SXi. Quite low on insurance and they have a fair interior too tbh. But then I took him for a spin in the S. He wants a Saxo now.

[phillyh]

It is, I was just saying the SRI is pretty quick

[Crunkers]

Gazzza I must say it looks pretty nice. How are you managing to afford that if you don't mind me asking? Like Jay said, get it lowered, will look even better then.

[Jazz]

1.2 16v SXi: 0-60mph in 12s, 106mph, 73 bhp. Pretty ordinary for what it is tbh.

1.4 16v SRi: 0-60mph in 10.5s, 111mph, 88 bhp. Nippy enough but no VTR beater.

1.8 16v SRi: 0-60mph in 8.0s, 126mph, 123bhp. The only Quick Corsa C of the 03-06 period, but still not quite a VTS beater. Insurance on these is very competative though, or so I hear...

[Gazzza]

they sujested finance over 4 years at 157 a month... (intrest of 1k over 4 years so not so bad)
but ill be seeing about going more than 157... say 200 a month so its payed faster and less intrest :)
i make arround 700 a month :) 200 car 150 insurance50 phone and 100 board... so that leaves me with 200 a month for my self...
but i might just leave it at 157 then i have about 240 for my self :)

not so bad...

[Gazzza]

1.2 16v SXi: 0-60mph in 12s, 106mph, 73 bhp. Pretty ordinary for what it is tbh.

1.4 16v SRi: 0-60mph in 10.5s, 111mph, 88 bhp. Nippy enough but no VTR beater.

what about SXI+? (as thats my model of car) :S

[Graham]

gazzza i bet you don't get the car

[Mochachino]

my cousins can do 150mph :) its a corsa b but has a 2.0litre calibre turbo engine in :)

[Jazz]

what about SXI+? (as thats my model of car) :S

Same 1.2 16v mate. But insurance group is only 3 and you'll get about 46 mpg combined out of it which is very good, so you'll be laughing about running costs. :y:

[Graeme]

seems like a good car tbh gazza

[Crunkers]

my cousins can do 150mph :) its a corsa b but has a 2.0litre calibre turbo engine in :)

Yeh cos thats the same as a 1.2 SXI lol. I would stick with the 157 a month payments Gaz. Anything can happen and you might be happy of the spare cash

[Gazzza]

bank details are off to see if the finance can be in my name etc etc...

[Gazzza]

The 1.8 SRI is the one I was on about, it pee's all over my VTR :(

The Sxi isnt bad tbh, alot of young lads have them so you cant really go wrong if you want one!:y:

[Gazzza]

+ i get over a years warrenty :)

[baker556]

...sister just got a spanking new 1.4 sri or sxi whatevr it is drove it the other day found it slow tbh my furio seems quicker !

[Jagztorious]

my mums is a 53 plate i think and imo it 'feels' so much slower than my r

i think the stats are similar and they are meant to be better top end



i like that alot gazza

Yea i know what you are saying. Local boy has got the 2005 model. VTR have a better top end too....

[Paul]

Too many people going into debt these days if u ask me.

Gazza, 6200 blah blah on a rubbish car is a waste imo.

You've worked out 157 a month, How much is insurance aswell?

Tbh, whats the point in spending loads on a car like this, when really, you want a VTS thats like a quarter of the price. not even that.

You say you earn 700 a month. Why not just do some hardcore saving up for 3 or 4 months and get a VTR/S ? Instead of paying 200 a month for the next 4 years.

You make some crazy decisions mate, and i dont mean to offend or anything but i think you'll regret it.

And as for holding its value? You must be joking tbh. Your going to have this car for four years. Thats like 10k a year mileage atleast... so it will be on about 40/50k when you sell it? Your expecting to get 6k back? :S

Seriously think you need to re-think this mate.

i bairly do 6k miles a year lol in my saxo i got thru 4k... not long....
i woulda liked a older corsa but i dont know...
this is good enough for me i can pay it back... its better than my saxo... will get me from a-b no problems... good on fuel... etc :)
so ill stick with it

[Paul]

Fair play mate.

Each to their own at end of the day :y:

Petrol/tax/repairs? You definantly in a 'secure' job? Can you really live on 200 a month?

have a good hard think about it mate.

tbh, they aint bad cars, neither here nor there, just a car.

in a strange way, i do like them. (wouldnt own one though)

[SaxoAL]

great start to this thread! lol. I think my furio has up to 140 on the clock too ! lol
I wish!

[Ruddy]

Would rather have a leg off.

For a fiver more you could get a real car.

Like a Golf.....

EDIT: £200 a month to live with FUCK THAT!

Hahahahahahahahahaa

£50 a week?

Petrol, food, nights out, girlfriend......

What about savings an stuff?

Also ^ what about repairs/servicing/Tyres/Tax etc?

[Raz]

i dont like corsa's end of story...

if you get it gazzza then get it :y:

you said you will keep this for a while, then sell it to get an 's'...whats the point? newer cars will be out then, and you hopefully would have matured abit....like us all :) i know i dont want another saxo after my VTR, if i did, i would go have a doctors apointment...

good luck with the purchase should you go through with it :y:

To be honist gazzza he's talking sence i wish i'd saved up instead of getting a 4k loan buying a 3k car and blowing the rest on alloys etc.
It is a nic e car though espcially on insurance group 3

[chrichvtr]

my 1.2 clio had 160mph on the clock!!!!!

so does my dads merc only difference being his can reach it lol!!

[Gazzza]

i know it makes sence to get a old car...
i give up tbh i pissed my mate off telling him alll this shit he pissed me off thinking he knew better...
end of the day it is better than my saxo :)

[Scattle]

Nice looking car Gazza, I'm in tehe process of saving for a VTS, which out of the two I would prefer.

[Gazzza]

hey 30 quid in my pocket does me... always have 50+ in back incase of emergancy e.g i run out of money :P

[darkslag72]

i hate corsas.....................

[Fordy_87]

those corsa's are ok, nice interior and comfy, but just feel boring and dont feel like they got any life!
If i was spending as much as you were I'd get a vts, you could get a vts for about £2-3k and you've still got £2-3k for insurance.

Just think of the smile you will have on your face when you're driving along and the respect for having a vts :D

[Rob85]

Would much prefer the new astra on the right tbh!

same engine as the astra sri 130 which is 138 bhp! and i know irmscher is the styling ! but they come already irmscher styled! well alot of them do and you pay way ott for them!

irmscher also release a pre styled range within each model of vauxhall!

[simon179]

BHP 0-30 0-60 0-100 1/4 Time 1/4 Speed
