In search for a next Corsa/Astra. How many miles is too many?
My good ol and reliable 12 plate 1.4 Corsa D SXI just got rear ended and written off (Total loss). Insurance offered 2.5k for it and I'm happy to take it considering 75k miles on the clock and scuffs & scratches all over the car, since it was my little working pony.
Im happy to add another 2.5k and get either Corsa E or Astra K. Not a mechanic, but confident weekend spanner handler with all the tools and software to mess with GM stuff.
In the current market 5k can get you something decent looking with 70-90k miles on the clock. Is it too much with the full service history? Looking for petrol engine, I do mostly short trips. 1.4 or 1.6 engine.
Also, would you go for Corsa or Astra? Its only two of us in the family, but I do occasionally haul large items, like furniture or building materials. My Corsa had set of Thule racks, I've kept them and hopefully can reinstall on the other car.
