Hi I have a 96 (N) corsa B Merit 1.7D 5-Door, It has 128,000 miles on the clock, bodywork is in perfect condition Taxed till march, MOT'd till June - I was wondering how much would be a reasonable price to ask for it?
I paid £200 for it in June and since then it has had a new alternator, battery and starter motor It also has a full SH up until this year..

Thats what I like to hear
...I don't wanna sell it but its the insurance cost as I ain't working at the minute and I only passed my test last December & I'm 24, All my quotes have been in the £900 area ...Does anyone know of any good insurance companys for young new drivers? and what cars are the cheapest on insurance for a young driver ...bear in mind I don't want a lada

I have just got a quote from there ...If i put that i do 5000 miles, TPFT and 9 monthly payments it comes up to £771.46 but if I choose 1000 miles it comes up to £531.39 ...can the insurance company findout how many miles you do or would I be safe putting 1000 miles and doing more
Check this out on ebay exactly the same as mine but silver and 6months younger

My friend works in insurance, and your premium goes up somewhat if you quote 10k miles per year+
Putting a value like 8k is realistic and also should save you money

Is there any way they can findout what job you really do if you put a different one?
