Stuck as to what to do with my Corsa, its a 1.4 16v atm, but im bored of it tbh, want something faster, but dont know what, its my 3rd Corsa, so i dont know any other cars really, and would like another Corsa, preferably an XE, just not sure, i bought it like this:



And now looks like this:




Just stuck as to keep it, or sell it, seen an XE i really want, just need shut of mine, or do i keep it and put a 1.6 in later on.

dont bother with a 1.6 conversion. If you can insure something faster then why not?

Well im 19 with 2 years no claims, but on apprentice wages so often struggle for cash, so not sure about what i could afford to insure.

Very nice car, the reason its not selling is its overpriced a fair bit, drop the price and it will sell if you really want to.

I thought that, but i put it on at 1900 and had an offer of a 2000 W plate VTR. Now havent had much offers, what do you think i should drop the price to?

nice car, but I would upgrade to something thats alot better if you are going to sell. I mean if you are going to sell it and buy for example a 1.6 fiesta you wont have something thats better enough for you not to miss it!
