Default My old 3dr for sale on e bay

Lovely, honest, very solid 3 dr. I sold this just over 2 yrs ago, looks identical and it's done almost zero miles since I sold it.Not used by the looks of things, just stored.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3223035007...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thanks. Lee.

And that's the problem the values now are to much for me to actually enjoy the car and drive it as it should be driven unfortunately.

I totally get that, I would feel the same. It's certainly gonna be way to much money for me now. Sold it for 17k just over 2 yrs ago and I was the one that did ALL the work on the car.I feel sick now.It is a cracker without a shadow of a doubt. Had it stripped pretty much bare for the re paint and lots of other work.
That T38 is a lazy turbo though, I personally would change it for something a bit more lively like a GT3071R or a BW 7064.
Yes James, will be a very good investment I think. However me personally I would want to enjoy the car a bit and not have it stored for a few yrs and sell it on for a healthy profit, having said that each to their own I guess.

Lee I would still imagine it could be used as you would normally use your cars without ever losing money on it.

Indeed, I missed out on keeping hold of it, same happened to me when I owned the 500, prices more than doubled not long after I sold it back in 2008, I'm never lucky like that. Then again that's what you get for changing your cars constantly I guess.

If you can afford that sort of money to sit on for 2 years i suppose theres not much else you'll make 10-12k on for not actually doing anything. As for a 500 doubt id ever let one of those go regardless

Lee, don't beat yourself AND don't do regrets mate, I, as you know owned a E30 M3 Evo sport back in 1998 with just 15k miles on it, today that car is over 110 grand I sold it for 15, but All's relative. I also had a 13k mile 22B, sold it for 24k, today over 70, that's not to mention the Cossies etc, you'd drive yourself barmy.

Luckily I doubled my money selling the Tommi, but I never bought it for that, I was lucky they started to rise in value.

It's quite sad really because it's made quite difficult for your average man to buy, own an RS these days, gone are the days at National Day when the track was flooded with them, we'll not see that ever again

Hey Pete, yes I can see exactly what you mean. Same as you I didn't buy the cars to make money, it was just for the love of them.You know what they say,never go back..lol.
That is 100% true about National Day etc was flooded with cossies but very few in recent years as owners are affraid to use them now due to the large price hikes and as you say it's more and more difficult for the average person to go out and buy an RS and many other 80/90s performance cars, the prices are rising rapidly now,so expensive nowadays.The cars you mentioned of yours above,awesome especially the E30 M3, very speical indeed.

Obviously not a financial shame but a personal shame when people who have these are scared to use them due to the values now. Perhaps I should feel lucky mines a piece of shit so I can drive the ass off it and have fun lol

I'd never own another now, there are so many better cars out there for what folks are selling, buying these for, and before anyone starts with that old crap of, " yeah but modern stuff has no soul, Cossies are awesome bla bla," yes they're a great old car that can be great fun and fast , but 30-40 -60-100k not for me. Lol

I spoke to the lad through txt and he wanted minimum £30k, as said above, the normal guy on the street cant keep up with these prices, getting out of reach.
I sold my Escos last year for £19k, now lad wants £30k, bonkers!!

pity they are so much money now, I would have given 20k for it... but 30k is crazy when you grew up with them. I went to see one around 10 years ago which needed new chassis rails at the rear, could have give 6k and still walked lol. what a plum!

its very nice, but 30k is a strong deposit on a house, love them but if had had 30k in my bank I think I would have to be wiser than to blow it on a car, guess it doesn't matter so much when 30k is loose change for some people mind.

Yeah same here If I had that sort of money it would be mortgage Time. I love mk3 escorts and never used to pay more than a few hundred quid for minters back in the day, now some are priced the same as what my Cossie it worth! Bloody crazy. I could never pay that for a mk3 escort as I know what I used to pay for them and the fun of owning such a car was thrashing the ass off it. I've got no interest in spending all my time polishing and cleaning and worrying about adding mileage, I just want to drive the things!
