I dont know what to do with regards to my car. I dont know wheather to go ahead with a LET conversion or to start looking at other cars . At the end of the day it is only a corsa and i probs cannot recoup the money.

What would do guys do?

How much money would you be prepared to spend?

Could get a quality ibiza for about £6k and would be a hell of a lot cheaper to insure than a let corsa

Corsa will be quicker out the 2, im guessing, and a lot more of a "rawer" drive.

But then the Ibiza comes with alot more refinements like leather, air con, climate control etc etc.

Come resale an Ibiza will be alot easier to flog as well and are holding their value, well whats left of it, quite well at the moment
