I have been thinking long and hard about the best way of going about selling my car ie break it,sell as is,back to stage 3 etc...and i can't decide which would be best I have already started to remove stuff like the Nos,als,WI,Deffi's,carbon seats etc...and have replaced the original seats! I have also had a few PM's asking about buying it as stage3/4.
I am now thinking that what i may just do is remove the engine and box,intercooler,rad etc... and sell it like that ie anyone who has ropey saff with good mechanicals could very easily put it back on the road!
If i were to do the latter i would need about 5k for it and all it would need to put it back on the road is for someone to buy a cheap rusty/pranged saff for circa 2k and they would have all the bits required to finish it!!
What do you guys think?
Cheers Spadge...

 

think you should break it :P

sell me the seats

 

Just keep it you muppet, as as soon as it goes we will be reading "I fancy a nice 3dr" posts.

 

spadge buy another personal plate for it, pretend its a different car and u wont be bored anymore m8

Id just do whatever makes u the most money m8, but then you no that anyway

 

Its already gone in my head Sean so there is no turning back mate!
Its replacement is already lined-up also

 

LOL, cool man

 

Lol or i could just remove mine and have it back on its standard plate

Of course i want to do what makes the most money back but for someone to buy it complete minus the engine and box and a few other select items inc the plate would be less work for me and whoever wants it

 

& whats that Spadge

 

nova

 

howabout a lotus elise, as that is glued together and you would be able to brake it

 

then theres the small part of being able to actually get in it and drive it

As jp said, whatever makes the most ŁŁ

 

true

 

u should keep it my m8 saw u at ten of the best and said u did well in your beast so y do u want too sell such a good cossie r u mad

 

spadge i think its sensible if you sell it as a stage3 or similar , at least then you get some of the money back that youve spent and then someone else gets to enjoy the car as well rather than it go to cossie heaven as i heard its getting rather busy up there

 

I think you should get some theropy roflol

 

5k for a 3 dr without running gear...fooking hell your have a giraffe ..then 2k for a knackered Saff I dont think for 2k youd get something with a running engine..well not for long anyway!

You cant sell it as it was as its just too much money....

You can only break it mate..as a Stage 3 3dr cant be worth more than 6k!!!

 

I just cant belive you are breaking it!!

lol fookin head shot!

 

Phil you know fook all so please do not try and teach me how to suck eggs

I know where there are 2 Saffs right now for 2k both with mot and tax and both good runners

As for mine it has done a genuine 87k with history and has never been pranged thus has all its original panels and paint! Don't forget also it is a 4x4 and would come with everything minus engine,box,wheels and a few shiny bits

 

sell it as stage 3 running
take off the extra goodies and sell em
imo unless someone offers you the right cash as it is, not everything needs to be broken to make good money, advertise it and see

 

buy it jb

 

lol

 

I would say sell it as a st.3.

What's wrong with leaving the engine in the car,too good of an engine to leave in.

Unless Spadge you need the engine for your next project.

Advertise the car and see what peeps offer you.

Can only try.


Dave.

 

Ohhhhh Spadge you do my head in...... Why the hell do you wan't to sell it. Never seen it in real life but it looks a minter, and with the 4 x 4 conversion has got to be one of the ultimate 3drs (Assuming your not a stick in the mud originalist), but what you gonna get to replace it. ????

 

Put it all back together as it was at Engine Advantages with the big engine and box and do a deal on mine.

 

Guys thanks for your comments
Sometimes even i don't know what i'm doing lol
Over the last 3 days i have stripped out the Nos,als,WI,Deffi's and a few other bits and bobs and have replaced the rear seat,parcel shelf,under carpet lagging stuff and carpet and i'm starting to like it again Maybe i just went a bit far with it and like my creature comforts after all i am knocking on 40
The RL7's are going tonight approx 3 weeks after i bought them as they are the wrong colour for my new project

 

Come on Spadge,

Do one of two things........ Sort your life out and get it sorted out and back on the road.

Do me a deal

 

Spadge

Use it at totb first.... have alittle play then get rid of it

 

I'm open to offers of deals Jim
The engine is as was at EA nothing has been removed that was helping it make power there! Ihope you have plenty of cash though Jim especialy if you want the g/box

 

Not interested even slightly in totb this year anymore Marco!
Must have caught the lack of intrest from others i think?
Not even going to watch!

 

What box is in er ????

Jim

 

Pete Doughty straight cut 2nd,3rd,4th + input shaft with uprated everything

 

 

SPADGE.

Got to go back onboard ship very soon as we sail in about an hour and a half.

I'll e-mail you from ship, (full blown sat coms, so we can chat via e-mail). so don't ditch any e-mails that come from a strange address (didseco1@princess.com)

Just tried to find some of the pics you put up when you were restoring/building her, but they don't seem to come up. Any chance of forwarding them to my e-mail onboard ship (didseco1@princess.com)

E-mail you soon (Next Couple of Hours)

Jim

It is a bit mate the words piss up and brewery spring to mind when it comes to the organising of the cossie team this year

 

Will do Jim
It isn't mint but is honest and has never had a shunt or any panels!
Your Saph could fit nicely into my plans should a deal be worth my while but please remember there is a gulf between 3 door and saph prices/desireablity

 

Not between mine there isn't.

Have Pics that i'll send when I get back onboard.

Underneath is as good as the topside is.

But then you forgot the quaife diff, Ap 4 Pots, T4 Suspension, and of course the full service history and 41,000 miles from new As close to a concourse as you can get, but fully sorted.

 

Spadge

you have done alot to this car it would be a shame to bail out now from finishing it ... you have got some decent bits on it all you have to stay with it and dont get fed up .... the amount of times that my car had probs i could have torched it ...but i stayed with it and the only coulpe of things thats lets my car down is power and a decent gearbox apart form that is nearly sorted ...but i stay with it although cars can get me down sometimes

stay with it a make it a proper weapon why start all over again and waste even more money ;( likwe i said you have the basis of a very good car

marco

 

 

Marco it is a proper weapon now mate and it isn't getting me down i just want a change man

 

Jim i'm sure its a nice car mate but all the parts you just listed are just that "parts"! And i have all of them on mine also As for the mileage etc...it means nothing to me chap as to look at saphs just don't float my boat (no pun intended lol)
