Selling a car

I would also say that selling a car can be time consuming and  frustrating so you need a lot of patience.  Some times you get lucky and sell quickly others not so much and it will come down to how much you need to sell it.   A Corsa is a great first car though so pitched right i don't think you should have trouble selling it depending on age , condition etc obviously.   Walk around the car and look for any broken bits etc as a lot of the time they are quite easy to sort out yourself and parts available on auction sites.

A lot depends on the age of the car.
A newer car is much more difficult to sell privately as you are competing with main dealers etc. and you might be better going the WBAC route.
An older car should be much easier to move on.

I've quoted this post only to make the point, that it is the OP's second car and they aren't replacing it directly before or after selling; as long as it doesn't roll round another month (tax, and on a Corsa that's maybe low anyway) they're not really losing by waiting.

And now using them for our Mercedes AMG GLC43. Best price quoted, and as I’ve used them before I expect to be knocked down a little but that is fine. The car is perfect with just a minor stone chip on one of the 21” wheels.

I could probably get about 3-10% more in a private sale, but I can’t be bothered with the tyre kickers, trying to test drive without insurance. Rather have a next day pickup, cash in the bank and move on.

There are plenty of hourly insurance companies now that there really is no excuse to not insure yourself for a test drive.  Also gives you an idea how serious they are if they buy insurance .

Just as I expected. They tried on, but we ended at £240 below the quoted price. Got the deposit paid and they’ll pick it up next week with the remainder. Nice one once again.
