Nic Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 You'd probably recoup more of the money you've spent on the car if you removed some of the aftermarket parts you've fitted, replace with stock parts and sell the parts separately.

pistonbroke Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 mr2 turbo?!?, you've been there and done that dude!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm sure a mr2 turbo will be MUCH cheeper to run... Not. if it's a good car it won't cost you much to run parts wise. fuel wise on comparison there won't be much difference. Is the heart ache worth it? Cancelling you insurance early and taking out another policy on another car will incur a cost too probably! I'd keep it and sell something else! If it's the gf influencing you to do it it ain't worth sticking arround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Last time I was in a position like this I just took the car off the road and got a cheap runabout until things recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I can't tell you a price, but I can tell you that all you need to advertise for the purpose of trying to MAKE a sale is : Minimum : 1995/Reg Twin Turbo Six speed 69,500 miles Tax/MOT Optional but should help make it more appropriately appealing: Fully Serviced UK front brakes Full respray Genuine side skirts and spats (a.k.a. OEM?) 18 inch wheels HKS exhaust Anything else is optional but not necessary, and depending on the type of buyer, might be something you want to stress less and only mention for the purposes of being honest. I.e. talk about them later, don't try and carry on about a HKS air filter, that doesn't impress. Remember too many modifications can be a turn off. Don't drag it out and risk losing a sale because you feel it's 'worth more.' I've built and worked on cars that coulda shoulda woulda sold for 100k but we ended up only getting half that money. Sometimes that's how it goes with custom and performance vehicles - you'll rarely get back what you put into it. If you really need the money, take the bulk value and walk away.

She is going up for sale tonight Gutted for you mate. I had a similar issue last year. My business went a bit 'tits up'. Put the car on the drive, SORN, laid up insurance £28 per month. Re-insured her this week. Will be out and about on Tuesday after MOT and Tax. Don't sell, you'll regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not good mate. Before you buy another check you can afford it first, I doubt petrol will be going down in price so it will be even more expensive to run these machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
