Default Car swapping ... ?
Since we found out she's preggers we want to increase the size of her car .. obviously getting rid of my Scooby would be silly

She has a Corsa SRi 1.4 Y reg .. Black in great condition .. we are looking to do a straight swap for a people carrier ...

Where would I look ?? The book price on the Corsa is 3.5k so anything around 3k value ideally ... a Corsa would be easier to sell I would think ??

Any suggestions ?

search for swap on ebay and then sort through.

or

Swaps - swap meet, swap shop, house & home swap, car swaps - swop shop

ive swapped cars on both sites without issue

Why do you want a people carrier???? Just get a normal car/estate but with 4/5 doors. And the only reason for that is that 3 doors means it's a pain (and can be painful!) getting baby/seats into the back.
