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?
-
Just think what you could do with the ten grand £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ :grin:
-
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.
-
yeah i agree with mix, if you sold it you would have to change your sig pic and your handle on this site and that is far more im portant surely? :tongue:
-
dude, you in ireland, why the f**k are you online looking at the forum.
Oh, your brake thing from euro car parts, or whereever it came from, has arrived. And i got GT4 :grin: But you have the blockbuster card, biaaatch
-
you can get dvd woth your driving licence numb nuts all they need is id if you got an account! and im waiting for the chicken to cook, went and saw be cool today its awesome! just bung it in the garage with my brakes you will see them in pieces in a big pot :undecided:
-
trsut i know the pot they arein, i stubbed my two on it!!!!
*thread hijack over. . .
-
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.
:grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Sorry to sound a right prat but what type of car is it, and what is special about it, :embarassed:
-
its a mk2 16v G60 and has a blue edged front grille. thats all :tongue:
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:
-
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
:)
-
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!
-
leve it a few more years, when a few more have prob gone to the scrappy, n ull b abel 2 ask the same qrestion again but ull be sayin its 15k :wink:
-
Claire hun...u shud keep it!!!! :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
Just think what you could do with the ten grand £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ :grin:
10k? sorry but that is nothing for the car we are talking about. 10k will buy you a 3 year old Focus.
-
id sell it and get a nice mk1 golf and really sort it out with the 10k :)

you obviously havent seen her mk1 then!?!? :laugh:
-
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:

Hey Si, those pics are so obviously not me, they're both wearing glasses ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
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.
-
Oh forgot to say, Gibby "The Milky Bar Kid" lol
-
We regret selling the other one
i think you've just answered it yourself
regret selling one, imagine the regret at selling 2 of them!! and even more so when you see somebody else driving it
-
Gambit you said that as I think, I like the sound of the money, but I would HATE to see somebody else driving it!
-
We regret selling the other one
There you are Claire, those few words sum it up. Keep it and you never know, the milky bars might just be on me ! :laugh: :laugh:
-
lol cool I like milkey bars ya know lol
-
Promise me you wont sell the car this year and I'll bring you two milky bars to GTI spring festival at the end of this month ! :laugh: :laugh: You can let Gary have one if you want or scoff them both yourself ! :laugh:
-
lol ok deal lol
-
nnnnooooo don`t do it claire, unless you can find another one that will be less than 10 large, tell them you want a few weeks to think it over get searching and if you cant find one tell him your keeping it if you do and its less than 10grand bargain :wink:
-
There was one of these cars on ebay a few weeks ago. Supposidly owned by versachi or someone famous like that. Cant really remember. Im sure the bids went over 10k but then again there usually from con men abroad!
P.S Dont sell!
-
not only imagine someone else owning it buyt can you imagine how yuo would feel if they crashed it :cry:
-
I really can't add much more to what has already been said, other than to say I voted NO, don't do it!!!! :shocked:
-
who voted yes tho.....
-
probably the fella looking to buy it!
-
I don't know but I have told the guy a definate NO so it doesn't matter now. :smiley:

I'll supply the milky bars and you can do what you want with them, if feeling generous give one to Gary, if not then scoff the lot ! :laugh: :laugh:

The things I could do with a melted Milkybar or two!!!  :rolleyes:
But with giving up smoking, putting on weight I guess I will be nice and share!!
-
Glad you decided to hang on to the limited. I'm certain you won't regret it.
