Want to get away from the 1.5 00D Almera I have , and save money.. low road tax. low running costs etc,, nice miles on it and looks good (confirmed milage), going to look at it tomorrow,

Uses to a from work and Shops really,,

Have read about reliability issues with them?

Will be getting My Mechanic to look at it before I go any further..

cheers Guys

The low mileage may be a bad thing if the car wasn't serviced every year or so. As people think because there not doing many kms they don't need to service. So check the history and make sure it was serviced reasonably often time wise rather than mileage.

Those corsas aren't good with regards to build quality or reliability. If you want something reliable with excellent build quality and low running costs, a Toyota yaris or a daihatsu sirion is the way to go imo.

And any Sirion I have found seem to be skyblue and insane Miles on them

No problem, Just thought I'd share my opinion

Tbh though those corsas are best avoided. They are balls of dirt.

Also I wouldn't get too hung up on a warranty on a car of that age. You are more than likely only going to get a 3 month engine and gearbox warranty. You will be paying a big premium over a private sale for a short warranty that only covers the basics.

If I was looking for a car of that age it would be a private sale all the way.

That's ridicules money for a 10 year old Corsa.
