Contemplating selling
Re: Contemplating selling
Had a chat with the boss and she said no... Probably because I did her head in when buying one saying this was the car I'd keep for a long time after selling a r34 gtr.
So it's staying with me.. until my midlife crisis

Re: Contemplating selling
Bear in mind the car had a new engine at 60k miles, that makes it less that 60k miles car. I think engine in these cars is the most expensive thing if it comes to replace/repair due to high mileage. Also the new box with ACE TC is something that should prevent big repair bills in the future.Mr Footlong wrote:You probably won't be selling then as I still reckon it isn't going fto fetch much/anything over that. You just don't get money back for mods or upkeep unless you are very lucky. A lot of you won;t have this problem but for me at least, I would never contemplate buying a car that had rolled over 100k for example, for anything other than silly money as a cheap runaround.
Or maybe I am wrong, I dunno...

Re: Contemplating selling
That absolutely does not make it a 60k mile car, the bodywork has passed through 6 figures of air/weather, the unmentioned turbos have had over 6 figures run through them unless replaced with the engine, a hell of a lot of supporting parts have passed through 6 figures of use. You cannot say it is a 60k mile car because that simply isn't the case. Try what Sid said but good luck with that, you never know. I will probably never sell this one and will just buy another to add to the stable when conditions/finances allow.imacool wrote:Bear in mind the car had a new engine at 60k miles, that makes it less that 60k miles car.
