Right, I need to sell my Corsa Sport.

X16XE
68k miles
White
Enclosed induction kit
Decat exhaust system
De-badged
Black Cesaro's with nearly new Yoko Parada Spec 2's
Full black Calibra leather
Lowered 60mm all round

Currently Sorn'd with less than a months MOT

Now, what do you think it'd be worth? And would it make much more money if I taxed and tested it?
There's no point me doing that if it won't make atleast the costs of that back.

Car in question...

Best colour - I'd say there is more people after a decent White GSi/Sport. Get some pics up too

Without an MOT it's only worth scrap value to most people so if you're unwilling to MOT it, you're best breaking it for parts.

I would MOT it but wouldn't bother taxing it.

I'll get some pictures up when I've given it a wash. I can easily get it MOT'd, but I can't get it there with no tax or insurance

With or without MOT and some Tax?
There seems to be a few up on pistonheads from £1000-£1400. I think they're a little overpriced for what they are, and had more miles than mine/were a little bit older.

Tax isn't too much of a problem tbh, people don't seem to mind as much. But MOT can get you an extra couple of hundred, also people will question whether it can pass one if it hasn't got it already.

If it has tax and mot it will be a lot easier to sell, someone can drive it away then, you won't make the money back it on though I think.

MOT = £40/£50 Tax for 6 months will be like £70 so £120 total.

Little bit of rust where the wiper is but that's a common issue.

I would say it's worth £800-£1000 with tax and mot.

Yeah i think it'll be worth getting it taxed and MOT'd, just means swapping my insurance over to it to sort it all out. Got a quote on day insurance and they wanted £40 to do it for the day! Crazy money

Wouldn't matter if you lose any money MOT and taxing if its.going to depreciate sat on your drive for 6 months. Personally wouldn't tax it until you have a serious buyer as you will need to leave the insurance running on it, if not dvla will.report you for a non sorn non.insured car
