Pistonheads is free, put some signs up in the windows and park it somewhere obvious... and local rags

Sell it cheap, sell it quick!

I'd be happy with £50 if I were selling it...

For £50 I might be interested

Stick it on ebay with a £50 reserve. If it doesn't hit that, weigh it in (fill it with any old crap) and cash in the tax. Should get £100ish that way.

Leave it in a McDonalds car park and price it £1000 more than its worth. Someone will bite.

should get 300 easy, probably pushing 500 depending on the condition. Most 17YO drivers who have just passed thinks these things are the best thing since sliced bread.

I disagree. It entirely depends on the condition.

Dropped you an email mate

I don't. Small cars with an MOT will always have a reasonable value.

So thats why you disagree, you need to ensure the OP thinks his car is worth nothing so you can buy it off him for very little.

Woah man chill out. I was disagreeing that most 17 year olds think they are the best thing since sliced bread, sorry didnt make it clear.

Then you are nuts, that car is worth £350-£450. With a new MOT it might fetch £500.

Yup. If it's in 'faded-red-pink' then spending an afternoon getting the colour back up will also assist in the sale process. If all else fails, lob it on the 'bay - get reasonable money for it.

Edit/ To be honest there are a million on the bay....depends on how quick you want rid of it and what you're after for it really. Market will slow right down for christmas very soon...

yer im not completly stupid, i know can prob get about £300 for it. ive stuck it in local press and going to bang it on ebay tomorrow

Put it on Corsa Sport. They love runarounds, especially if its another Corsa too.

OpenToSuggestions · 12 Dec 2007 at 11:45

some little chav will buy it and put some body kit on it im sure

just go and do some handbrake turns in the local multistorey carpark and its as good as sold

Seriously?!

There's hella profit in shonky old boxes then; I've seen loads of similarly aged ones go for under a ton.

I know

I exploit it rather heavily. Thames valley prices are inflated however.
