Not sure if its time yet, but I feel having a corsa that isnt used - well isnt much point

Its sit there gets used what 5 times a year.... and though its fun to drive when it does get used, its also holding me back getting something else, something abit more exotic than a corsa b

when do you know its time, is there a age that you decided to move on?

I decided I wanted something more comfy and grown up.

I'd have another anyday but not as my only mode of transport.

Keep it tho Warren.

If you still enjoy it don't get rid, simple. I don't play my Xbox anywhere near as much as others and I'm not selling that...

How can you compare an Xbox to warrens Corsa

I think if you've made this thread your already thought enough abut selling it.

Well done on the mag feature, I read on here last night they put down the wrong company, have you contacted them about it they might put an article in next months about it, or ask them about a free months advertisement for you.

I had the same issue with mine Warren. Got used about a dozen times a year for track days and a few shows and that's all. Insurance, tax and maintenance on a it just didn't seem to balance out the fun anymore. As I had the Vectra gsi at the time and wanted to get the Astra 888. So sold both to upgrade. Plus at 32 years old and still driving a Corsa which I had had for 9 years.

You just know when the times right to get rid off.

This tbh.

Exact same as selling a car for me. Once you've thought about it, thats normally a sign imo.

Waited until I was 25yrs before getting something I really wanted and could insure and was worth keeping for at least 5yrs, only had one nova and one corsa up until then.

Don't you have time to go for little random country road blasts? The main issue I can see is you'll need to break it, because you'll end up with loads of idiots trying to buy it for a grand.

Even though my toy only has 1000mile policy on it, I still get a fair amount of use out of it really, but it makes the car more special. I have only done 2 track days and 2 shows in it since the end of Jan but I think the money I pay on insurance, tax and storage is worth it.
