    What do I do?

    I'll be getting a company car soon so I need to decide what should I do with my Corsa OPC.

    I've though about just parking it in the garage and using it every now and then, and I've also thought about selling it.

    If I go the latter option I have no idea what to ask for it as I can't seam to find any for sale. =/

    My Cars about to hit 50000kms

    What's everyone thoughts on this?

    I'd probably be tempted to keep it, depending on what you get for a company car. If they give you something boring like a Camry or a Yaris, I'd keep it.

    Whilst working as a contractor for StarTrack these days, I have my own van for work. Handy to have outside of work on occasion, but I'd still rather have something else as a fun drive or runabout for the weekend. Then again, I'm spending 12 hours a day in and out of a van, having something like the SRi is just what I need to escape the monotony of driving the one vehicle all day, every day.

    But, it all comes down to your situation and your preference.

    Youre honestly probably not gonna get a lot for it. The fact they were being sold off brand new for 20k and yours has 50,000kms doesn't make resale very good. Id keep it locked up if you can afford it and bring it out for a squirt on a weekend

    If you can afford it, keep it. Otherwise I'm sure you'll sell it, perhaps even to someone on here...

    Keep it. Also on the note of camry/yaris, what if the rules for it are no out of work driving (due to taxes) so you'd be stuck then
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
