Looking to sell mine in the summer, however I am a little unsure of how much I should advertise it for / how much I'll be likely to get?
Mileage: will be no more than 110k
Condition: Fairly good, small car park dings and little spots of rust here and there but generally in good condition for it's age
History: Small amount of service history
Details:
Vauxhall
Corsa
Sport
1.6 16v
Black
Mods:
Inlet manifold (flame)
Decat (Piper S/S)
Custom Cat-back (V-sport S/S)
Pipercross Filter (cone + cold air feed)
Eibach springs (50/25)
Depo headlights (might not be included)
MHW rear lights
Tints (80% rear 30% front)
De-badged
Plain grille with Irmsher badge
ICE: All speakers upgraded, sub and amp might include headunit too!
Bad Points:
As mentioned earlier, there isn't much service history and the mileage is on the higher side of the scale
Think the valve stem seals might need replacing (sometimes blue smoke on startup)
EGR valve sometimes plays up (EML comes on whilst driving, although it doesn't affect driving)
Bolster on the drivers side is warn (common problem)
I have been as honest as I can, I have owned the car 2 1/2 years and aside from things that have worn down (brakes, tyres) it has never let me down.
What would you price it at?
Thanks

S reg and 110k means i wouldn't give you £500. £450 tops
Blue smoke and little service history would lower my price even more

Mines similar to urs, on 107k, but also has cams, ported polished head, lightenend flywheels etc.
Its a shame having to sell them so cheap, knowing there worth so much more in parts, my exhaust isnt even two years old and was £550, and exhaust manifold again, less than 2 year old was £200.

Remember, this is corsasport. Each member knows what they would pay for the car.
If you were to sell it locally / In the local paper with a higher price tag you'd probably still get interest.
If you're in no rush to sell the car, put it up locally at a higher price, if it doesn't work advertise on here.

True,
Local people probably won't have the knowledge about how much these cars go for, I will probably put it up for around £1,100 and expect to be knocked down etc
I'd be happy if I made £1,000 on it

Yea it's just a pain in the arse taking all the stuff back off it, I do have most of the standard parts somewhere (apart from my cat-back)
I already have interest in some of the parts on it
