Title: My Car
Post by: G6dub on 04 April 2005, 18:41
Ok the BIG Question

I am not trying to sell my car, but someone wants to buy it!

Ok the money is a good price  :wink: shall I do it or not?

I really am 50/50 I don't know what to do  :undecided:

Assuming you mean the LTD and not the polo.. a great big fat NO! from me :tongue:

Even if you really need the cash for something else.. I'm sure you'll regret selling it eventually.

Yes talking about the Limited.

I didn't want to sell, but got ask for what price, The price is over 10k if that helps maybe now you can see why I can't decide lol

No don't need the money as such (well we always need money but you know what i mean) if I was to sell the money would only go on another dub project.

10k would persuade me. Think of the project you could take on, or the car you could buy with it!

Which one is it? The mk2?

but think, you have a car that, what only 72 people have.  You really dont want to let it go unless things become tight IMO

somethiung along the lines of unique come to mind when you at a show, not many other people are going to turn up in one.

claire,

Let me put it this way for you.

If you sell the limited,  i will personally come down to portsmouth and wee on your front door.

Now if that hasn't put you off then your a strong willed woman.

Title: Re: My Car
Post by: Mr Blue on 04 April 2005, 20:06

Very rare and only come in black 5 doors. 72 made or something like that.  :cool:

Claire i would hold onto that. imagine the price a few years down the line :huh:
Title: Re: My Car
Post by: jv on 04 April 2005, 20:28
tricky decision - you are famous for that car!

everything has its price but for rarity/cool value you are not going to be able to do any better

you don't want to buy another shiny new car and then sell it a few weeks later  :tongue:

don't do it

:)

Post by: Len on 04 April 2005, 20:36
Go daft - tell the prospective buyer it means too much to you and say you wouldnt sell it for less than 20 grand.

Then if they still say yes ya gotta sell it!

Otherwise DONT!!!! - you will always regret it!

10k? sorry but that is nothing for the car we are talking about. 10k will buy you a 3 year old Focus.

Don't do it Claire, it's far too rare to let go and you will regret it. They only made 70 five door models and if I had it I'd never sell it, that car will go up and up on value make no mistake, but it's not just about the cash it's about the car itself and what it is and the history behind it. DO NOT SELL IT !  :cry: :cry: :cry:

For the anoraks amongst us !  :grin: I think they made 70 five doors but also made two three door models, one was crashed and the other is in the Wolfsburg museum.  :smiley: :smiley:

Title: Re: My Car
Post by: S11EPS on 05 April 2005, 13:16
Oh, and for the record, I would definitely keep it.

Knowing you guys, you could probably build something as fast, but it would never be steeped in as much history, and it would never appreciate in value like the limited will. I know its stating the obvious, but these things are only going to get rarer, meaning the values are only ever going to climb.

I would love to own something that rare and special. "Keep it" I say!

Gib, don't fight it, its ok, you;re amongst friends.

We know you take your glasses off when we all meet up.

But we also know you split your spare time between between your cab, and 'the movement''

I really can't make up my mind, it is only teh good offfer fact that is making me think.
I don't want to sell the car, I think I will say no and keep it, even with over 10k there is still a limited to what you can build.
We regret selling the other one so if I sold this it would be even worse, so I  think she is here to stay. Plan is for the engine to come out in October for some work think I will stick to that.
