sorry for the essay....but it's a long story....

I've a corsa b sat here with a couple of months tax and mot till july, last march we spent about £800 on a x14xe engine, engine rebuild,fitting, new rear beam axle and new brakes all round.

we very rarely use the car and since all this work was done, its only covered 2000 miles.......so the plan is to sell it.

we were thinking of getting our money back......hence a price tag of £800
we've been offered £500 from a few people but this isn't really enough.

would we be better breaking it and selling the parts?

here's a pic.....



what do you think.....break it? or keep trying to sell it as a whole at £800?
