Oh my gosh... I need to have sold my silver Corsa in a months time.

How long do people leave to sell thier cars? I need it paid for by the end of November ideally. Last thing I sold was my motorbik, that went in a week. Was that lucky or will my little car go in a week or too as I guess I need to pop it up on Auto Trader soonish

Shouldn't really have a problem selling it, being close to christmas, and would be a good first car for someone.

But I need it ... What happens if it goes too soon I would just straight trade it in, but the garage has only offered me £700 for it. It's worth a bit more than that and I need money for the insurance on the Fiat.

I was going to put it up for about £1100. It's not in perfect condition, but the engine is sound, I've spent money to keep it good like a new fuel tank, exhaust, radiator and it's on newish tyres. I think I can give it a polish and steam clean the interior and it should look alright

It's got the engine of the year in it, but the steering rack will probably fail, the electronics will quit and if I crash it I will probably die as they forgot to put on a bit which gives it it's 5* safety rating, so it's only a 4* rated car

can you buy the bit for the 5 star rating and bolt it on?

not that it matters, the corsa will only have a 2 star rating, so the cunto is better anyway

They did a recall on them recently to sort the problem out. Mine should have all this stuff sorted. It's just the first ones that were sent out for the dealers to fix because they can't stop a production line...
