As the title suggests, I am considering selling my 8
The reasons are mainly due to me not driving it anymore, and that I have gone as far as ever wanted playing around with it - ie modding it. I know it's mad, and half of me wants to keep it, but the other half (of my brain, not the wife) says that I should sell. I now know how others feel about their 8er when the brain starts saying it's time to sell..... and I retract all my comments made at those times
I still like the look and the way it drives, but it's just sitting there on my drive looking pretty.... and getting wet. I dont have a garage big enough to keep it in either. Maybe I could SORN it, but dont know how to go about that.
I think that I'd have to refit all the original equipment prior to selling, well the stereo at least. If someone wanted to buy it with the pc in in then all well and good, but I seriously doubt it would be an open market for that. I even think I might have made the damn thing impossible to sell for anything above nominal trade-in value. But as I dont want or need another car, I wont be trading it in.....
Plus it's probably only worth six grand or so if I'm lucky, in the current economic mess the country appears to be in. Now that alone should tell me to keep it, since in 3 years of ownership I've spent around £5K on it after the £10K purchase price, not including servicing/insurance/tax etc. Not exactly an investment eh ??
So, what I'm essentially saying that if anyone is reading this, and wants to give me £6K for it, they can have it.... !! But that price would be without the PC )or the Hartge Steering wheel) but would include:
HIDs
Bilsteins
Eibachs springs/spacers
Geniune M6 19s
CSI roll bar front
Camber plates
3.91 diff
drilled/grooved discs
New suspension arms practically all round.
probably missed something off that lot.
Mileage is 101K.
** Now I've just typed all that lot, I'm thinking I shouldnt even bother hitting 'Post' cos it just seems daft to sell it. I just dont neeeed it anymore....
