would it suprise you if i said less, a standard sport with that milage/age in that condition goes for £1k, as i said im no fool thinking its worth loads but i though it was worth maybe £1k more than you said - granted its not a c20let but i spent money trying to build a good "allrounder"

Anything above that, 2.5k+ for example and you're in LET territory. It's a nice car though.

I'd go with that, £2500-2800 would get you a half decent turbo Corsa.

What its worth and what someone is willing to pay has to be considered.
Ive seen XE Corsa's sell for £2.5k before with similar spec, C4RSA went for around £2.5k iirc?

i guess, id just hate to bang her on pistonheads and get a flaming on here lol, i guess if i decide to sell ill just have to try my luck on the buyers market, if i cant get 2.5k i think id happily keep it (providing i dont pup the missus anytime soon), thanks guys

Keep it and LET it, or do you fancy something completely different?

not really, but im fussy and would have to fully rebuild a LET if i put one in= more cost
im sure im not alone on here but since i started the build my tastes have matured if you will - (i like old rwd vaux/opels a lot),its not a daily driver and is garaged so i could tuck her away and maybe let it next year or something - i know id like the power
