Well, sometime over the next 6 months I will be selling my Corsa GSi Turbo.  It's going to break my heart to sell it and I wish I could afford to keep it but due to other commitments and me wanted a newer more practical car, it's going to have to go. I never use it anyway so its a shame to leave it on my drive. After it's had its TV feature, I will be advertising it for sale. I was wondering if you lot could maybe give me some feedback on what kind of money you think it may fetch. I buy and sell a few motors so obviously I know its a case of 'its worth whatever people will pay' and the fact that the kind of people that would want it, can't afford. I know how much I will be asking for it and if it doesnt sell near that, I will not sell it and keep it tucked away. Simples. I'm open to people suggesting a few hundred quid if thats what you feel but please justify why you feel it's worth the amount you state. Cheers lads.

I know mate. Like I say, if I had my way, I'd keep it forever but I will always be ploughing cash into it. But if it doesnt fetch what I want, I will keep it and worry about my money after. I won't let it go for f*ck all to a chav.

All I'm saying is there is no chance in hell I'm letting it go for 3k. If I'm honest, I dont think I'll have any problems in finding interest. You can get a lot of car for 4k and it is only a 1995 Corsa at the end of the day. We'll just have to wait and see. I may get lucky and hopefully someone falls in love with it but if not, I'm not letting it go for penuts. I'll just be skint for a while.

Why didn't you tell me before I bought the C  
No idea what the going rate for this sort of thing is but it's so clean it should be in a museum

Haha it won't be for sale for a little while yet. I may even do PVS before I sell up. Cheers for that Dave

No worries mate, it deserves better than a good home imo. If I had it I'd throw all the stuff in the garage into the back garden and put heating in there to keep it toasty
Would love to see it at PVS, will get lots of pics
