Right boys, see what you can come up with!
I've got a corsa GSi, with the eco-tec engine and to be fair in the 4 months I've had it, it's never really run perfectly!
It burns alot of oil, taps quite abit and smokes like a bitch! Only to find out today the piston rings are worn. In my opinion it's not even worth fixing, I've spent too much on the car as it is and most of you know I've always been a ford girl!
I just want rid of it now, what do you recommend I do? I haven't got time to break it, I just want to sell the whole car standard! Shall I flog it on ebay or what?
HELLLLLLLP 
Little girl in distress

it will keep running if you top up the oil. to fix it would mean pretty much a full rebuild, looking at 1k+ for that. depends what its worth, ist he body work good etc? may be cheaper to split and sell in bits, the body kits go for a fair amount....

Yeh it still runs just stinks and goes like a bag of shite! I dont wanna keep it anyway, I aint wasting that kind of money on a car I dont care about! I want something newer now, I've found another car so I need rid of this one asap!
Like I said above mate I aint got time to break it, the body works near enough mint for its age, theres a few rust stains but nothing that abit of polish wont sort out lol.

I would mention it just to cover your back. As you know, white gsi's are very hard to come by so there will be people out there willing to buy and fit another engine. As long as you set a reserve you won't lose out.
