2008 Vauxhall Corsa VXR 3-door manual

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this little VXR in thorne, Moorends for a while now — it’s actually one of the few I’ve seen that’s been properly looked after. Arden blue, and it’s not flashy, but it’s clean and solid. The body’s been sorted recently — no dents, no blemishes, just a proper bit of work done under the hood.

I’ve had it overhauled properly: new timing, water pump, turbo, cam belt, spark plugs, oil pressure switch, camshaft seal, lambda sensor, gearbox mount, exhaust mounts, and injectors. All new parts — I even kept the invoices, so you can see exactly what’s been done.

It’s got Michelin Pilot Sport 4s all around, upgraded air filter, Recaro sports seats, boost gauge, and water temp gauge. It’s a 6-speed, ULEZ-free, and the engine sounds great — actually, it drives like it should.

It’s been sitting still, so no mileage increase. Comes with one key, MOT until January, and full logbook. I’ve had it serviced regularly, and it’s been kept in good shape.

Price is £2,160 — that’s fair, I reckon. If you’re looking for something reliable and not flashy but actually well-maintained, this one’s a keeper. I’m just letting it go now because I’ve moved on to something else.
