I'm thinking about puting the Corsa up for sale but I think I might be screwed because of where I live.

I'm used to having to travel to buy a car but does it work the other way?

Any selling tips are welcome.

I live in the Isle of Lewis (NW Scotland) btw

i should think so.
i'd be willing to travel a couple of hours to view a car if it was what i really wanted.

if it becomes a problem then advertise it as being at a town a bit closer to civilisation then you can travel a wee distance to meet anyone wanting to view.

do you still have all the standard bits?
may increase the chance of a local sale if it was boggo.
then you could sell all the parts and post them to buyers
