in particular a white, 'M' reg 1.2 8v corsa - completely standard, very clean 75,000 miles
(not mine) - but seen one at home and price seems very reasonable - am thinking of buying it, servicing it, washing and waxing it - then selling it on - I say its a good deal cause it comes with a full PSG2 kit which has never been fitted and a set of unfitted team dynamics 15" wheels - all for £850
I thought I could probably make a quick buck on it - and end up with a very ncie standard corsa for sale?

this one is in dire need of a wax- but paint is in okay condition- has a K&n filter - but Id get rid of that - as have standard one at home neway - full servcie - spend a few days restoring the piant ( ie mop it, wax it a few times) then flog it on -
will I make money?
I reckon I can get it for £500

for a standard one?
if so - it means Ive made £250 straight off, then I have an unfitted kit and wheels to sell as well - and a used K&n to sell seperately

Gonna try and get it for £500 this week - in truth it has just one mod - and thats a rank front bumper - hence why it isnt selling - gonna see if it drops nemore over the next week - not gonna cost me to turn it to standard - so might as well take a gamble
Is any1 after a standard corsa, 1.2 8v - L reg (iirc) absoloutly mint condition bodywork -
would be after £1100

do it, just dont put it in your name as it takes ages to get log book back only to re-sell it and it goes gown as having one more owner
i bought a k plate one for 400, cleaned it up, ran it for 3000 miles no problems, and sold it for 820
obly welded the subframe and fixed a few daft things like dash bulbs and a tail light

Yer my old boss (i work at car valeters) used to do this... buy shitters and valet them and sell them on... soo like full outside black tires etc give it buff.... polish then wax, sometimes diamond bright... thn do full inside on it to bring it up mint sooo rejuvinate all the old dash soo it came up looking mint then used to sell them on and make a canny profit

this is NOT selling cause its got a Flycatcher front bumper - looks like it wa spaitned with tippex - but the car is mint apart from that - Im not sure on reg - Im sure its newer than L now - will look in a bit - may even be a P reg - in which case £1100 is about right
needs a good clean and wax btu seems ok - plus I have a "as good as new" LS interior to put in it if it isnt too good inside - so in essence it would be mint inside and out
Gonna take a look in a bit
