Is it now ok for me to say that your Corsa is/was a hilarious piece of ****?

It was ok anyway.

Jonners · 3 Nov 2010 at 20:05

It didn't do me any favours that Corsa but I'm stuck with it til Friday! The clutch is buggered and other niggles, so used it as an excuse to chop it in.

I'm 25 I want something better, and I think I've got there.

What did you do to your Corsa?

I think they will be 205/55/16

Not sure 205/55/17 is even a tyre size?

205/55 something then

They look too small to be 17s.

Ruin it by attempting to make it fit in at McDonalds.

They are 17's . Not sport model wheels though. They where an option when buying the car new for the princely sum of £160 which I think is very reasonable. a big improvment over the standard 16's .I had them on my 2.0 zetec when i had it.
Looking good anyway, And as previously mentioned it will be a big improvment over a corsa

New(ish) shape Focus is a lovely car.

Congratulations - enjoy it.

No idea what the facelift did so dunno if it is one or not?

It's a pre-facelift.

Enjoy it fella, good cars

danza · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:19

Congrats. No doubt a billion times nicer than a Corsa.

Jonners · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:25

Argh I was told to use this 7 days free insurance by the Vauxhall dealer, but they won't accept online with the details given. And tells me to call up, I dont know if the car will be released to me on Friday now.

[FnG]magnolia · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:30

I would shop around for cheaper insurance not linked to the dealer. Also - unless you've got a bonkers contract - the car is yours regardless of taking out their insurance. You have paid for it, right?

Jonners · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:31

I was told by the saleswoman to use the 7 days free until I get on my feet, I have a policy currently with Bell. But wont get my cover note in time. So they may not release the car now?

[TW]Fox · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:33

Why wouldnt they 'release' the car? You own it?

[FnG]magnolia · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:33

If you're covered by Bell then you're insured to drive the car. It's for the same car, is it?

Jonners · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:36

How quickly can a changeover of vehicles be done on a policy? I'm not getting shot of the Corsa til Friday, Can it be changed instantly?

I'm sure some stealers demand a covernote before letting go of it...but its not really mine though is it? It's under finance...

[TW]Fox · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:38

Finance?! It's a £4k-5k Focus and your Corsa was worth what, £3-4k surely?!

Jonners · 3 Nov 2010 at 22:41

5.5k and only got 2.9k for the Corsa.
