Getting bored

Does anyone ever think about flogging their car?

The last few months I have been thinking about whether or not I'm bored of the rover

It's not my main car and I have no reason to sell, maybe just a phase

Anyone ever think sod it and sell up or start thinking about it?

On a serious note as iv always found with all my rovers that 2 maybe 3 weeks after they have gone I always regret it and as they are becoming rare I would think twice before commiting to selling it

Mines still in bits and nearly everyday i think, while its in bits might as well break it!

BUT

I keep thinking about selling my old coupe and how i missed it so im determined to keep this one- though i may need a fix it day to get it back on the road..........................and about £2k to sort the body work

Recently, when I was sort of toying with the idea of selling mine, I wrote out a potential ad for it. It made me realise how much money I've spent on it in the 5 years I've had it. Thousands. The most I could probably sell it for would be 700 quid. I'd feel like I was giving it away, and all my time and money had been wasted. (Scottish, you see.)

I'll be hanging on to mine for a bit yet, I think...

Ill go with an evo bug but can't stand scoobys. Can certainly see why you would rather have your evo but I would pick a coupe turbo over pretty much all scoobys barring an sti all day long

id consider selling mine for a good price but the price that i would want i very much doubt someone would pay.

i think what you find with your car is that its worth a lot more to you than it is to other people.

iv done it many times so this time im after a 220 gsi hatch pref in grey

and it will be a no expense spared show car it will take time but want it acid dipped fully stripped and full inside and out side respray

i got rid of my gsi last weekend and havent looked back just a money pit spent just over £5500 in a year on it and glad its away and wont look back.
if i ever buy another one i will be buying one like ry220s,blackshadows,ghall or vinnys so i can just jump in it and drive it and enjoy it without having to spend anything on it apart from servicing etc.

It is hard to not spend money on them and your rite will never get it back but it seems worth it at the time

I've thought about it quite a few times.

Don't drive the coupe at the mo as I can't justify the expense of running a car that I found myself driving less than once a month. So my thinking for a while has been to get a more practical and usable performance car. Problem then is what to do with the coupe.

The coupe isn't really worth a lot and could do with some work to bring it back to its former glory. Selling it would yield a forgettable amount of capital, and would inevitably end up with me enduring it being broken on the forum. Breaking it myself would be heartbreaking but from a practical point of view I'd still be lumbered with bits of car everywhere. Ultimately it's unlikely that I will part with it.

Could be buried in it?

I think if your using your car as a toy/ weekend car then I think their worth keeping as I don't think you can get a cheaper car to run that is as quick (insurance wise) as they are classed as classic now - well mine is.

I've been thinking of going down the ZR conversion route but to do it properly (register,insurance etc) is gonna cost a lot more than running the coupé.

Some parts are getting used to get hold of or are damn expensive (engine mounts anyone?) But some parts arestill cheap as chips.

Ive got bored and felt like selling many a time. Something new is always better. Much like a woman.
Problem is when you look at the hassle of changing and the fact that ultimately the replacement might not perform half as well as what you have...

Incidentally, I would seriously rather find a new girlfriend/wife than sell my GTi.

I've grown up with this car.

Never, ever thought of selling it, I'm it's only private owner (it was a dealer registered car, with delivery miles only) and I know it inside out.

I'm currently saving my pocket money for a Coupe, as a stablemate for the GTi.
