Good evening all,
As you can tell from my post count, i am a complete nooby to this forum. My only purpose of joining is to sell my beloved 3.0 V6 Corsa to a fella Corsa owner who may be interested in repairing her.
I apologise for this being the only reason however I would like it to go to a good home.
According to the site rules I am unable to post in the classifieds until I have made 50 posts and have been registered for 30 days. I agree with the concept however, as said above, my only purpose for me being here is to sell my car.
Could I ask that a fellow Corsa member with sufficient posting privileges will put this up in the classifieds section. I know its cheeky but it would be appreciated.

What do people feel my car would fetch? Would anybody be interested on here?
Many Thanks

No, we have rules, make the post count and you can post it yourself. There is a reason you cant post in classifieds yet.

You'll have to strip it or have a new engine fitted. Unfortunatly, your selling a shell. And Corsa ones can be had for peanuts.

I guessed that it wont be worth much, that i know.
I dont have the time nor space to break it, i need to get another car quick-ish before my partner has our child.

TBH, they are your only options. Also, if your partner is about to have your child, maybe buying a V6 Corsa just a few months ago wasn't your best decision.

TBF,i reckon you could still get decent money for it.
Its not an easy conversion dropping a V6 into a Corsa,yours has had all the work done so everything is theyr for it.Engines are cheap and plenty available.

No chance, 5-600 tops if it's a clean shell.

I meant to put 4-500, typing too fast, it's crap money for a corsa with a 3.0 in?

I'd advise you to spam the boards, most people do anyway
Is it 30 days and a 50 post count?? I can understand the reasons for it tbh. See it as paying ian for a free car add.

Nope, but even with the fucked engine I would imagine it would be worth a tad more than scrap value to the right person.

The right person (being a person who don't mind forking out to get things right) and corsa owners, don't go together.

Thats fine Danny, i already know that, i would be a very lucky person to get that.
I get it mate, the car isnt worth alot, i know that. I am trying to see if anybody wants to reap the benefits of this mis-hap as all this car needs is a basic engine.

I would stick it up for around 850.
Its got the essential parts to just drop another V6 in.
Exhaust manifolds on theyr own are a job and a half.
