any ideas on what to write? i dont want to just fire on the spec and hope for the best.

took some nice pics of everything at trax so will be using them.

i really need it to go as my new car will be here soon.

what do you guys think it'll reach? what reserve should i put? i want it to sell!!

although it sounds low as you want around 8k for it, modifying a car only decreases its value as most people wants a standard car that they can do up themselves.

id set the reserve at 5k IMO as i think youll get around that for it

You only just did it though? Surely you need to use it for a bit before you sell it?

Probably somewhere between 6-7k.

Problem as it stands your car is heavily modded & pretty stripped out will only appeal to a small niche of the market looking for a corsa.

Hope you find a buyer.

I don't think mods decrease value, don't really increase value unless you find someone who really wants it..

You car should sell Martin easily...

not saying it wont sell for more, if you find the right buyer, but its worth less to the market as a whole
