    I cant recall - i just looked for the advert and its been removed so i cant check.


    If you don't mind posting up the details from the advert that you remember (including the garage that sold it the car), it's often possible to dig up old webpages from Google cache.

    one set of keys is the one thing that would ring alarm bells for me

    most common way to steal a car now is with the keys and what better way to get a set but to keep them when you sell the car, anybody could have the spare set of keys but lets hope for our sake they are just lost

    are you suggesting that an 11 year old corsa is immune from being stolen? it might not be up there on the must have list, but there is a massive demand for second hand corsa parts driven by the typical market for this type of entry level of car
