Title: Getting another car but what do i do with it!!!!
Post by: linzi on 11 April 2009, 21:14
Picking up another car 2moro - Mk4 golf 1.6 s reg in red 5 door.
Not too sure what to do with it, i am getting it towed back as it isnt running spot on at the mo, think its firing on 3 so probably just plugs and leads.  :undecided:
Now do we fix it and get it running sweet and sell it on????
or do we break it - got a thing for breaking cars at the mo!!!!! :grin:

We are getting it for £600 which i think is a bargain to say it has got reccaro interior and audi wheels on, it is also dent free!!!

Decisions, decisions!!!!! :undecided:

Looks quite sharp - provided the engine is ok and easy to sort, don't think you'll have much bother selling that!  :cool:

does seem a shame to break it!!! might look for a standard interior for it and sell reccaro seperate.

yeah...that seems like a good idea.

I'd try getting the engine running properly then sell it on...if its going to cost to much to fix you can always break it afterwards.
