General Considering selling the automobile

[Booth]

Right.

I've got a new job, I can walk/cycle there in 10-25 minutes.
Now, I'm considering getting rid, and saving up for say, 6-12 months for something I want more. I don't do a lot of commuting, only usually for car parts...but that wouldnt be needed.
I'd save money on;

Petrol
Insurance
Mods
Car Washes (dont comment on this haha)

So, give me your honest opinions on what you would do or what other info you would like.
Also what do you reckon the value is:

Car - 20,000 miles, 56 reg, FSH, 1.4 sporting, Gloss black roof
Abarth Replica Headlights -
Rear LED lights -
Linea Front Splitter -
Linea Rear Diffuser -

Help/Opinions needed.

if you think that you wont need it then could be worth it

give it a dry run and try not use your car for a good week or more

Simple but brilliant idea.

 

[DlightSwitch]

But yeah personally I'd love to do that, with the money saved on insurance I could afford to do loads to my car over that year, or even upgrade to something better!

 

[rodduz]

Depends if that's all you use your car for or if needed do you have access to another car.

The only thing stopping me I think, is it would be taking away my independence to an extent and my main hobby really. But if if I save up for 6-12 months, I could save for a better car and insurance.


Still no opinions on price?

…Car as a whole, prob somewhere around the 4k mark.

If you sell it and sometimes you need a car, do you have an other option ( dads car)?
If you do, then don't even think about it. Go for it...
I'm now thinking on selling mine and get stuck with my girlfriends polo
but only for a good cause ( motorbike...).

Check Autotrader, see what similar spec cars are going for.

Be aware that as it is modified it will put most buyers off.

Getting rid of your car if you don't need it is the most sensible thing you can do. There is little else in the world that is such a waste of money as cars...hookers and cars.

I lad I know is interested in it with everything on for 5000 which I thought was decent?

 

[Vance]

5000 and I'd bite his whole arm off nevermind just the hand.

As Vance says...take that offer!

Agree with Vance!

But beware, if he writes it off you will cry.... so what is his driving like lol

 

[DlightSwitch]

Yep that's most certainly a good deal.

Who cares? He will have the 5k in his back pocket.

 

[rodduz]

I'd miss mind, just got up and went for a wicked boneless banquet at KFC. Couldn't have done that if I didn't have it, well unless I stole my bro's TT from across the road. But if you don't need it, it should be gone.

 

[Andy Monty]

Keep any sales/ wanted type posts via PM please chaps

 

[rodduz]

Why is that Andy? Just out of curiosity.

Why is that Andy? Just out of curiosity.

It's what the classifieds section is for. He doesnt mean asking for valuations, but if I tried to sell anything then I should keep it to its designated section.

 

[rodduz]

Ah right, cool. Was just wondering.
