    What is exact and precise model of that car? And preferably if anyone can find the page online of all specifications of that car?
    The thing is, I bought it 2 weeks ago (that's why ad is marked sold).
    I checked all online and it says that year 2000-2006 was Corsa C
    Yet on wikipedia it says Corsa C is 3 door. This one has 5. So am I missing something very wrong? Can someone help?

    It is a corsa c, the c just refers to the generation of the model. Current model is corsa d. I dont know what trim level it is though, theres loads of variants, club, comfort, sport, etc.

    No it doesnt:

    Body style

    3-door hatchback
    5-door hatchback
    4-door saloon
    2-door coupé utility (pickup

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Corsa

    BTW, is that interior as bad in real life as it looks in the pics?

    It's much darker IRL. Even car color is darker barely can be seen as red/orange. Tha pattern can be barely seen.
    Also thanks, that clears up things.

    It looks like an Njoy model but I could be wrong, whatever spec it is seems to be written on the door.

    I think the colour is called City red.

    If i remember correctly you have to pay extra for interior in Corsa...


    Just kidding, pictures look bad, but from my experience it's light and angle that make it look so bad.

    I remember in old days me and my friends, about 10-13 years old at the time, were looking through car windows of cars to see how fast they go. We had no clue whatsoever...

    And how does that work? Where is it filled in? because I Was stupid enough to say: "dont explain me where or what conditioner fills in, I wont need it, its' always cold in ireland". and today after this mad heat outside I kind of changed my mind, but the seller has left country already.

    There's a valve for filling it under the bonnet. It's not really a DIY job, although there are kits available in some stores. Could be another problem that caused it to evaporate. But sometimes they need regassing

    alright thanks, guess any car service will know what to do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    They may direct you to someone who does, not many places would be actually equipped to do it.

    Don't worry about some of the comments (even mine...) We do laugh at the cars, but some (most, maybe minority - i don't really know) of us drive cars like yours, and we are here to help as far as it is about cars. So it doesn't matter if it is Ferrari or Ford, as long as it is a car, lawnmover even, be free to post and don't feel humiliated, or whatever... Hope the car serves you well...

    It's unusual to find a Corsa of that vintage with a/c.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,520 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Yeah, I thought elegance models had a sunroof and no electric windows

    Edit, Maybe that was the comfort model...
