buying a saxo maybe....

[steste9876]

Right, currently have a corsa sport and going to swap for a saxo. Only thing is is that the saxo has had a bump on the front end which has knocked the bumper, and broken the fan, also has bent the bonnet.

How much would all this cost roughly as i am supposed to be getting it tomorrow lol

Cheers

Depends what saxo as to whether its worth it... Bumper would be a case of Gettin a new bumper from scrappy or somet, Prob best bet. Fan... probably the same solution. and for the bonnet... mmm Scrappy or one for sale off here if there is any.... Whats condition is your corsa in ... Seems a lot of work for a swap, especially if your corsa is sound as a pound...

Its a saxo vtr, with 83k on clocks. Whereas my corsa is a 1.6 sport with 104k on clocks fair bit of rust, idle control issue, need new clutch soon, only good thing is the corsa has speedlines lol.

and the saxo is a mk2 vtr...

[Carlvtr88]

get the sax :) Just be prepared for some hard searching. And a bitta cash spent. Its not neccessarily easy to find bumpers. I need a posi VTR mk2 one myself. Aint come across a mint one yet.
Just make sure the R hasnt got any other surprises lurking... Looks for the usual problems.

Got the saxo... Everything sound on it, one thing ive noticd is a massive judder when braking, does not feel good at all. Mate says it could be something to do with the ABS? Any ideas? cheers

If its an R... it dont have ABS... i dont think... Unless it was an optional extra but im almost positive it wont have it. Get it checked mate

VTR's did have ABS as an optional extra, you should know if you have it because it should light up on the dash with all the other bulbs etc when you turn on the ignition.

The juddering could be an uneven brake disc/pad?
