been trying to sell mine and it seems u cant even give them away these days looks like ill be getting my tools out this weekend and doing the same as everybody else when they get fed up of them

 

i guess not, you may as well keep hold of it if its financially possible.

I cant see myself getting rid of mine, too much gone into it so it will be staying.


out of interest how does yours handle with the zt (how much was it running?)

cheers

 

I bought one before christmas. It's a project though. Seems to be a few restorations goin on at the moment.

 

The problem is, with a higher spec car, you'll want more money for it, and a lot of people only want to buy them cheap. Or they'll fork out for standard-ish cars and do the modifications themselves.

Selling any type of heavily modified car will always be difficult.

 

If you've any chance selling an RST spare a thought for us with orions! worth less than scrap value by all respects!

Performance cars aren't selling full stop at the moment imo.

 

will be buying one and the end of the month.and i cant wait

 

Dude if it doesnt sell keep it its far to nice to brake

 

mines less than 60 miles from you lol

 

when you can buy an E46 M3 for upwards Ł7200, who in their right mind would spend good money on any S2?

 

*edit concourse money

 

Plenty of people.

A lot of people buy cars for more than just their technical ability. After all, if that were the case; everyone would buy Evos instead of Cossies!

 

Sold mine locally just after new year standard with a few "issues" Ł1300 gutted now but needs must, feels so much better with out a suit on if you get what i mean lol

 

i think the whole car market is suffering at the moment, insurance at an all time high, fuel cost is the highest it's ever been.
i can't even sell a seat ibiza gti with t&t for a little over Ł500, very tough IMO.

 

they sell for more in northern ireland

 

how much are you trying to sell it for, and whats wrong with it?

 

was going to put mine up for sale but they dont seem to fetch much anymore, so many shiters about going cheap it makes genuine cars look overpriced.

might just put it up for swaps see what i get offered

 

just keep ityring someone who wants a genuine decent rst will buy it eventually as people are saying everyone is struggling but itll sell,
dont break it but maybe you could downgrade engine to standard cvh turbo and sell engine and car separate

 

Are you not finishing it then?

 

Ł7200 For starters will get you a dog of an m3, along with high insurance costs and high maintainance costs. I can insure my s2 for under Ł200 a year and chance the oil and filter for around Ł40 like to see you do both of those on an e46 m3 for that. Hence when it sits in the garage for half the year it costs sod all.

 

i was only thinking about what to do with mine the other day and i have not even had it mapped yet lol, do not know if i should keep it sell or brake it, i have only done 700miles in it in the last 7yrs and i am already thinking about getting rid lol (this is what happen when you drive about in your old mans 400bhp sapp with with als + lc to play with lol)

 

i would love to buy one, always love them, had a few rough ones over the years but im looking to buy a nice one, just cant really afford one at the min.

 

get saving pal and buy mine at the end of the year lol

 

done a bit on it today so pulled it off ebay may aswell keep it now the shows are getting closer realistcly i should sell it as the cash is better spent elsewhere argghh i dont know:S

 

was trying to sell it for 4200 nothing wrong with it just had a fresh mot just needed mapping its off ebay now

 

d'oh, hasn't it just come out as well?

 

yes mate i have only done 700 miles in 6months in it, since i finished building it, got it in fast ford mag after going to fordfair, since the shoot for the mag in october its been in the garage

 

enjoy it, drive it, take it to shows!

for alittle while at least

 

know what your saying pal, its not ever had its final map yet

 

I couldn't take my car to your level, I'd be too worried about chips on paintwork etc.

plus it would take me even longer to complete.

 

haha wish i had not gone this far some times mate,but i paint cars for a living so paint work is no trouble and i have done everything else on the car as well.

 

miles better than a fuckin bmw ?

you wanna be a clit or a man ?

 

its a bummer coz i just bought mine last year about 10months ago and if i had known i was gonna be spending this much on it this soon id have bought urs, mine is a nice car but urs definetely has the power advantage over mine!

oh well good luck if u still trying to sell it but i'd keep it man like you say show season is coming up i might see you at a few then i can see ur awesome car in the flesh!

 

ha cheers mate wouldnt call it awesome but i think its a good spec, Thanks tho

 

i agree
shame to break them up though

 

I didnt sell mine as you can see from my sig

 

Mine's sat on the drive at my parents house and I've had 6 people knock on the door asking if it's for sale, and 3 people leave notes on it asking me to ring them and tell them how much it's for sale for. Now with no tax or mot, and probably needing 4 new tyres it's not going to fetch a lot, but it's not for sale

Don't panic tho, It will be at my house next week tucked up in the garage

I think one element is insurance, it's an old car, easy to break into so it needs heafty security, easy to mod, lad at work is 20 and he can't insure a standard one for less then 2k, I paid Ł1200 in 2001 at 21 years 0f age fully comp with 9 points.

 

I saw yours up for sale and tbh if i was looking your would be first on my list but it needs to be mapped.
If you had it mapped with a proven figure and nice running i think you would easily get 4k for it- If i had the money i'd pay that all day long for teh spec of your car
