35. Alpine DD Drive Speakers Front and Rear
36. Alpine V12 Amps x2
37. Alpine Power Cap
38. Gear Box Multi T Lock

The reason why i am considering letting the car go is because the Insurance is very high, and also i need a car i can use on a daily basics. The car is welcome to any inspection and has no outstanding moneies owed. I brought the car in July this Year for £16.5 k and have spent a further 4 k on it. So for someone it will be a bargin

Hope to hear from People..

Hi Fella,

Cover is off and is yours, Got to wait for Martin to send it.
Under pressure from the Partner to sell my baby as she wants a st3 so we can get the kids in and so she can drive.

Not a happy fella.

Hi Gareth,its a shame your hand is forced to sell the cozzie
just remember them st's value will drop and drop
and the cozzie will still do good money regardless.
can you not get her a nice cheapish runabout and keep it

Default ST3

Hi Fella

I brought her a golf, but she is not happy, she drove the Focus and really enjoyed it so i have no option really.

Sad but i have to keep the other half happy.

ooo mate what can i say to make you change your mind..... first off look how long you waited for this car and what you went through to get it.... an st3 focus will lose money like a lead balloon.... if your girlie has a golf she should be glad to have a car.... what i think you should do is buy a runabout that ye can use put the cossie back in the shed and leave it their till you can insure it cos in time you will be able to and then what will happen is you will go looking to buy another one..... any after loosing a ball of loot from the focus you will have to spend more and may not be in as good of nick as the one you had that had 1 previous owner and low miles.... your gonna do what your gonna do any its very easy for me to throw in my 2 pence worth but at the end of the day id say you will look back and say I SHOULD OF KEPT IT...

if that was me it would be bye bye mrs. She has a car but doesnt like it she should count herself lucky.

Mate dont take this the wrong way but you couldnt sell that car after all you and your dad went through with it, surely she should understand that?
