do I get rid of this car.....please help!

Post by bananaman01 »

I need some help on what to do with my corsa its a W reg 1.0L Corsa GLS....here's the history

-bought it a year ago from a friend for £300
-new idle air control thing £125
-4 new tyres £120
-new catalytic converter £140
-bootlid is damaged from a disagreement with a wall (now does not open as the buckle is around the locking system)
-when the catalytic converter was fitted I was told there is a small crack in the manifold which "we are going to ignore for now"
-I was going through clutch cables (snapping at pedal end) at a rate of one a month. got a new one from vauxhall witha new adjuster block which seems to be doing ok
-seems to have lost some power overall

basically i seem to have a couple of options:

1) scrap it and put it all down to experience
2) new bootlid and replace manifold - how much is that gonna cost??
3) sell it as seen and see how much I get for it

it's MOT'd until june 24th this year...

any help would be greatly appreciated.

wrong section mate. stick couple pics up, tbh its upto yourself what you do with it, new boot and mani would cost less than 50 from scrappies, put it up for 350 sold as seen or fix it and put it up for 500 or offers.
