the truth is if you sell it and bu something a bit more modern if that breaks down it wont be a cheap fix like a ford / my mate had a series 2 running 190bhp everyday for work etc was perfect the gearbox let go he paid 80quid and put in a ib5 gearbox[ bit better ] drove it for 3 years and after giving up on it because it was heavy on fuel he sold it and bought a bmw he said its boring but its nice to drive so took that work 6months and now its in a garage for a gearbox and costing him 1250quid!!!!! another problem he had was the turbo failing i didnt even ask how much that cost to repair etc your car will turn heads, cheap to fix and cheap on parts most things you could do your self ... other cars will drive better but if that breaks down your gonna tink what was the point of selling the xr3 lol
