discountinued used cars

Hi,

      How good are second hand Opel Corsas to buy? How difficult is it getting them serviced. There are plenty used Corsas for sale and many of them seem to be in good condition also. Consider this. If the tail light on my Corsa gets broken, am I going to get a new one in the market? Does the Corsa share any parts or platform with the Chevrolet Aveo. Other similar cars are the Fiat Palio platform line up and the Daewoo Matiz. But the thing with Matiz is that, the Spark is essentially a rebranded Matiz. I am considering buying a used Corsa. It will be very helpful if current Corsa owners can respond to this.

You could find parts, but it is getting increasingly difficult and frankly not worth the trouble. The Corsa and Aveo do not share any parts as far as I know. It would be better if you go for some car that is still in production or has recently gone out of production. If it is a depreciation disaster like the Palio and Ikon, even better.

You can get the part of Opel Corsa easily, some time its not available in JC road but if its not there then you can arrange it from Delhi. In my case, CarSingh service center marathalli arranged the parts from Delhi. but at the end you car will not stay ideal only bcz of parts.

Even though it is a fantastic car, i would advise you to stay away. For the simple reason, that parts are not really available. Believe me.

thanks for all the replies.

@Rahulbr98: Do you own a Corsa? And are the parts costly? Also, can you update me on the fuel economy of your car?

A Palio/Petra would be a better option than a Corsa, why not try it? You will enjoy driving it. It would also be cheap.

@bala: yeah...thats also on the list. Hey, there was a car called Palio Adventure. Remember? It was a station wagon version of the Palio. That was good.
