probably would be easier to sell the 106 to a wider audience. but depends if it can be re-sold at the 5k price. aint got a clue with prices regarding them, but if you can get 5k for it then makes more sense to do it.
Will be sad to see the Van go tho. Awesome pics.

106 is probably 150bhp at absolute most, but would sell easily for £3.5k

If your getting shot of the van anyway to pay stuff off the obvious answer would be to swap, pay stuff off an possibly have money left over. Or wait for the right person to come along for your van.....its ur decision but if ur after the money fast then swap it.
Besides it'll be like selling ur van once you have sold the GTI if thats ur plan.

The colour has a lot to do with it when the white may have been a much better colour in terms of selling it on
The white would appeal to many more people than the green imo
That 106 looks in very good condition, it wouldnt suprise me to see that sell for 4k

Now that's impressive.

These engines are easy to get 160+ out of with those mods.

Corsa would go straight away.
Remove performance parts (most of) from 106, sell on privatly.
Sell 106 as a more standard car (esp engine wise).
That should be running about 160bhp if running right though. Little pocket rocket.

but its a case of which car is going to sell more easily. Either way the van is going so it make sence to get a more standard car that appeals to a larger audience

Hears an idea jimmy
Swap it wit the banded steelies on it.
Stick the BBS's on E38 and you should get 1k for them.
If you sell the 106 for 4k your sorted?

I would not swap. The 106 is not in anyway as nice as your van. And its well over priced.

I sold my 10 yr old 106 with double that mileage and only a few of those mods for £3k so £5k aint that much of a laugh
