Possible Sale of Vauxhall Corsa Sxi+

[lukethomas]

Hey Guys,

I have an 06 plate Vauxhall Corsa Sxi+, 1.2 16v in Black. Purchased in April last year and has the Vauxhall PLUS PACK fitted (Cruise Control, Air Con, Thatcham Alarm, upgraded alloys and upgraded MP3 CD Player). Currently has 7,700 miles on the clock and is in near new condition! Has a full years tax, has just been serviced, and has a further 2 years GAP insurance.

Several car valuation sites have valued the car between £8,500 and £9,000 (however, this is without taking into account the fitted PLUS PACK). The car also has the Complete Care Plan, which costs £15 per month via direct debit and covers all costs of the annual services. This is due to run for another 2 years.

I am thinking of buying a new car, and if made the right offer will be prepared to sell the above. If you are interested, drop me a PM and we can discuss. Realistically, i will be looking to sell up sometime between now and October 2007.

Is it the old shape?

If so I got a brand new one like that only 1.4 not 1.2 for less than 9k so second hand with 7000 miles on the clock is bit over valued at 9k.

Have a look at www.corsasport.co.uk its a forum just for corsa's and you may have more chance selling it there but the ones on there are all "sporty" models and vary in price think youd be looking at around £6500 in all honesty mate. good luck selling though

Im not looking for £9000, just looking for around £8000. Vauxhall will give me £6500 for it, but that will obviously be marked up around £1500 once then sell it on. Had one offer of £7950 so far, so that may be the winner!

i think if you have been offered that now (£7950) id take it, because obviously as time goes on its going to depreciate in value.

TO be fair Ill put money on most of them being boy racer cars that have been ragged to hell and back.

Yea, full of filler, cable ties holding the huge exhausts on, engine being pushed to blowing up point!

At least i know this car is in mint condition, looks quite sporty without shouting 'boy racer Coventry fan', and hasnt been pushed over 4,000rpm at any point as i have rarely done more than 75-80mph.
