206 Or Corsa Your Help Needed

[omega 82]

the cars

corsa b 3 door 12sxi on a w reg in blue approx 92000 miles

manual windows,electric mirrors

owned for over 10 years

timming chain so no belts

never broke down

only costs pennies to mot

bodywork good interior worn but cleans up well

service history then serviced by me every 6 months

 

206 1.4 lx 3 door on a t plate green approx 42000 miles

electric windows,aircon[not working]

owned for 2 weeks

no service history[but clean oil and a cambelt kit with waterpump in the boot] runs and drives nice

bodywork okay lots of dents but has polished up nicely very nice clean interior

just took for the mot and it just needs a new backbox

 

now the car is for the mrs she loves her corsa its newer but its done the miles,she likes the 206 but its older but has done less miles.

she only does about 5000 year and most of it is local approx 10 miles

 

so which one do we keep?

[Anthony 1,003]

If she likes the Corsa and it's mechanically sound, why get rid? 92k is hardly leggy mileage wise.

Corsa, will be cheaper to run in the long run

 

I've just picked up a 1.2 sxi corsa b from a friend for £400 notes as a run around, full service history, 6 months tax, 12 months mot etc etc. 113k miles and it will be run on a daily to be run into the ground. Loads of miles left on it and some cheap motoring as nothing was needed or no advisories in the last mot

The Corsa will probably need welding at some point, lower susp arm pick up points. The 206 will probably need a rear beam at some point. Personally I would probably stick with what you know.
