Bought a new Corsa and....oh....

This is doing the rounds at the minute, bet it would be gutting to find you've put a deposit on a car and then go to find this!

Wonder how good that lifetime warranty is...

Corsa hate is a nationwide phenomena.

Hope they get the money back and use it to run away

Lucky escape tbh

Ouch, that's some brazen robbery. Amazed they didn't rip the seats out too.

It may be a Corsa, but that's got to be heartbreaking to find the car you were about to collect is now probably a cat D before you've even got your name on the V5.

Whilst that's somewhat gutting, it's more so for the dealer than the buyer! I'd probably chuckle and say "can I harvest this for spare parts for mine when it arrives?"

Sasso · 3 Jul 2013 at 14:22

that sucks

gutted for the buyer and the dealer! as said... I would be devastated if that happened to a car I spent ages finding (currently in process of) and going to buy

Howard · 3 Jul 2013 at 14:32

Looks like it's a brand new car, so other than a longer wait for the buyer, it's no skin off his nose really.

It's an improvement.

dfarrall · 3 Jul 2013 at 14:58

Why have they nicked the whole front end?!

randal · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:02

VXR spec bumper, lights, wheels to stick on a 1.2 probably.

Would look sick to be fair.

Sick I tell you!

Looks like the 'ring special edition by the logo on the B pillar.

wingman · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:19

Weren't they something stupid like £23k new?

MagicBoy · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:23

I've no idea. The website seems obsessed with making tyre screeching sounds and doesn't have a pricelist that I can find in 30 seconds.

wingman · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:28

Just found this so I take it back, £22,295!

MooMoo444 · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:35

I wouldnt pay half that o_O

shauncr91 · 3 Jul 2013 at 15:49

Surprised they didn't take the seats, they are some of the best Recaro's IMO.

Steve2000 · 3 Jul 2013 at 16:01

This is actually a pretty big thing round here. I know a coupl eof people who've either had this done or had it done in their street.

lol @ the comment

Is this what they mean when they tell us that car-crime has reduced in Middlesbrough - they've stopped nicking whole cars and now just take the front bit!?

After the bodykit to stick on a 1.0 'life'.

Indeed, there's a set on the bay going for £1200.
