YOu'll probably end up doing the same again with the next car, so just bite the bullet and keep the thing......

i am more than willing to do this as im a lazy bastard at heart and this may well be the easy way out for both of us?Originally Posted by purplepower
Or, Why not buy the car with yours as a part ex?
Jolly could break your car & make up the extra that way?
Just a thought
free bump
if i had £12k floating round i buy it, mines cost me bout 5k in tuning so far and i aint even close

Hi mr jolly, please dont get me wrong, its not highly priced at all considering what you have spent on it and will out perform the late M5. Im not having a dig at you, the car is nice but im sure you and most people in the world know, you will never get near your money back what you've spent. Early s14a's can be picked up for just under 3k to the late s14a's at about 6K. s15s going for about 9-10. Im just saying that you'd probably get more money by breaking it. If you dont fancy the task of breaking, so be it. but with a 12k budget for a car, you'd be spoilt for choice. One sure way to minimise your losses is to keep it. Your car is damn hard to put back to standard. Good Luck with the sale, and free bumpThe car is far too gone to turn back to normal. The chassis and breaks alone would be a mare to put back to standard. I have just had it mot'd, my insurance runs out early april so if i still have it by then i will think about breaking it. I have had loads of interest in parts but really don't want to look at this until i have to...
SimonMan - i don't think it is too high priced at all, for someone to turn their stage 1-2 S14 into my spec will cost them more than my car is going for. I do think its a very specialist car and few will come up for sale to this level. It's had everything done to perform awsomely and last. Its got an excellent known history and a UK car.
Everyone else - thanks for the kind comments, i really wish i could carry on with it, everytime i drive it, its like i'm getting into it again for the first time, its such a crazy car. It's an attention whore too and i know i will look back and regret ever having to sell it. I can't see myself bettering it either

Justin, those wheels look really good on that car mate
Simon - its the same old thing, people want lots for little price. People on here spend more than the price of my car and it is no where near my spec. I've never seen a good S14a sold for £3K but £5-£6K yes. I'm pretty sure it will end up in bits but if someone is going down the route my car is at then its worth looking at selling theres and buying mine to save a load of money. At least you know where you are with my car than some import or stranger from another forum!? AP tuning can clarify, if my car needed anything, it got it, and the best parts. But cheers anyway, i know what many think of the price but i'm not giving it away.
I may have even dropped the price to a genuine seller but no one has come up with anything other than a 9K offer.
James - hope your well mate. They do look much better than the mo's don't they
And to the top again...
i feel so badsuch a great car becoming a legend. i would give my left knacker to be around 4 years older right now
Bump
Another bump...
2 months left now

so now im skint
my 200sx has been sold as well now to raise funds.
very sad day for me but at least the zafira should be a better car for the misses than the cavalier!
good luck with the sale mate
Keep it and get a nice OS Giken kit for itAnother bump...

the man is talking sense......Keep it and get a nice OS Giken kit for it
or a z32 box
The box is fine. It will need changing at somepoint as anyone over 350bhp will really. Just a matter of time.
I can't keep it with having to run an everyday car for work travelling and having the bike. Also this house buying lark is so expensive, especially first time buyers and i'm buying on my own. Basingstoke is far from cheap aswell.
I did think about selling the bike but its not worth as much (£4500), tax is £33, insurance is a few hundered quid, will do 35-40 mpg and is as much fun (albeit different) as the 200.
Also i can leave the bike as is and its just needs servicing once a year.
I spend all my time looking after the car, servicing it, tweeking things, buying things. Can't leave it alone...
Been serious about doing this since i put it up for sale in september.
If i had loads of money it keep it forever, but i haven't, i have too many other expensive interests and i just can't leave the thing as it is...
Thats why mine went too.
Bump
saw it at a show in devon,and its stunning!!!
why has know one brought this!!!!!!!
free bump
Can't believe she's still up for grabs! If I was still in the country I'd seriously consider snapping this car up..........c'mon someone, don't let her be broken!!
