Went to Billing. Good weekend. Car performance noticeably affected when it is rather loaded up though.... Ha.

Put some 'For Sale' stickers on it and a rough Spec list and contact details to see if it got any interest - lots of lookers, no bites.

Got home, parked it up for a bit, then we went off to Vauxhall for some talks - got some decent quotes for a new Corsa E VXR, and then also got a couple of quotes for and a test drive in an Astra J (GTC) VXR - very nice...
We would be looking in to trading in the Corsa LE and selling/trading the Vectra too - Vauxhall offered me more than expected for my car, but not enough. I would have to sell privately to get the most possible, which is fine and was expected.

So, car is going to be advertised for sale imminently. Whether we get a replacement straight away, or capitalise on me suddenly becoming richer every month and sort property out first is another discussion, but for either to happen, this has to go. Shame, but that is how it is.

Reg Plate will be removed in the next couple of weeks, and the car will be advertised online. Until then, I'm going to leave the stickers on and keep a spec on me incase it gets parked up somewhere, and see if it gets any more interest.

New map seems ok. Data from Torque app looks ok, but not had anything checked on a Dyno/RR as yet.

If I'm still not sure of it/had it verified as 'good' by the time it sells, I'll revert the car back to the OEM Map for the buyer.

Had my plate removed, removed the stickers and gave it another clean.

So now, reluctantly, up for sale.

Bloody good advert - a good advert definitely sells a car - if I didn't have the Jag I'd have been interested in that

I think you've priced it right. It's had a lot of attention that's been well documented on here.

So i don't think you'll have any problem selling it.

GLWS - I think this is an absolute bargain considering the work and condition. And the Diff!

Seems like a lot of car, for not a lot of money.
