2k is very steep

[Rusty CallyT]

L plate 16v for £2k could get a turbo for that, well overpriced tbh

[chunky_nutz]

ok guys thanks, i shud have mentioned its at a garage, so that probably explains things

[wayne85]

if you want one then prob best to buy and sell private

Who's to say if it's too much, may have 60K miles and fsh.
Just have a search on autotrader.

too true, picked up my mint M plate turbo for £2200

leather interior
interior is a bit tatty,

usually a sign of high miles and 2k for a l reg na engined cali is dear that gone into turbo price

I know someone selling one with full MOT and leather and it's the XE engine too .
Tidy car , he's not on here though , if you want any info etc just ask .
Think it's an L plate .

hey daddy cav, might be interested if i can find a buyer for my corsa, whats the location of the car, whats with the xe engine, need more info . what engines went into calibra etc
cheers

The C20XE is the 2.0 16v engine and is the better 2.016v .
The X20XEV is the ecotec engine with a bit less power .
The C20 LET is the turbo engine .
The X25XE is the 2.5V6 engine .

As long as you avoid the 8v (painfully slow) the rest are fine.

[Mr M3]

(but best engine)
I'd have the V6, all things considered.
