Ok, heres the problem...
I have a corsa b 12v, had it since september last year, dun all work to it myself so it's kinda my baby lol... All paid for and done etc.. Never had any major problems whatsoever.. looks like this:
A month ago I bought a corsa c 1.2 sxi, 53 plate for £2,700 on a credit card... Interest doesn't start until August So gotta do my best 2 pay it off before then really.. Looks like this.. Plus another sxi wheel lol..
Now it has dauned on me that I have all that to pay back, I don't know which car to keep, my B has been for sale twice for £1,000 and both times had no luck.. Can't go any lower cause I got too much in it!
And tbh I really miss my B but I like the C
So the question is, which car do I keep??
What would you lot do? lol

Personally I would sell the C, you should be able to get more than what you paid for it anyway.

Keep the B. Ive always lived by the moto, if you cant afford, cant have it. Makes sense in the long run.

I prefer the look of the B anyways, apart from the flat tyre

I want to, but if I do that, the insurance would kill me lol... being 17 and all that... It's £160 a month on the b as it is! lol.. and £170 for the c...
My Dad's hardly talking to me, think he thinks I'm a c*ck lol... Think deep down he wants me 2 keep the C though..

I'd keep the C. Better engine, looks less out of date, will look well if you add a few touches, and it won't feel like you have been driving the same car for years and years.
I agree with your dad.

i think weve all had that issue of the parents not being keen on what we want to do  , just keep the B and chuck a 1.4 or 1.6 in , ring the insurance and see what it would be with an engine change

sell the c
clear the credit card
then cut the card up and never get one again!
and then stick a 1.4 in it
ull be much happier when you do

Flat tyre on the B 
I think the B is much nicer imho
And as said use the cash from the C to drop a nice big engine in it

Lol it was my Mum's credit card which I used and I pay it back..
And was looking for depos whilst I was driving it but couldn't find any!
And I always wanted to take rub strips off but didn't dare incase it damaged all of the paint! lol, will do this if I keep it! lol
And if I sell the C, the money is 2 pay off the credit card so an engine would have to wait I'm affraid until I could afford it!!

Get rid of the C, If you keep it you will only get further into debt when you decide to start moddingg it. The B is cool. I think that it would be a huge mistake selling the B and that you will regret it.
