Default Selling or breaking ???

Ive had my series 2 now for 3 years and had 2 series ones before that.

Ive spent an absolute fortune on her and im beginning to think if its worth spending anymore or just taking a step up the ladder to a 2wd cosworth ?

Thing is do i sell as she is and take a megga loss or do i go through the hassle of breaking my pride and joy, for which will get me a lot more to front the cosworth



which ever way i will be gutted

Fuck breaking it!

To many people are doing this and making a quick buck. To me its always seemed REALLY odd to spend years building a car with all the love blood, sweat and cost and then be happy to see it cut up and spread all over the country and gone forever!

Only car I ever did it to was my 3dr but that was a bastard machine from day one and deserved it totally! Bastid fast tho!

Lets say you spend Ł4000 on the car and then spend another Ł8000 on it.

Are you going to get Ł12000 back

You will get Ł4 - 5000 for it.

Break it and make your cash back.

but you never get the money you spend on your cars back, its the price you pay for the enjoyment you get from building and driving them. if you break it, there will be just one more less mk4
when was the last time you saw a rs or xr mk4 in a scrapyard? its been a while since our ones had one! they are all going FAST! Keep it!!!

If it makes you smile, are you going to get another car that makes you smile as much for 2k ?

Do you still like the car ?

if the answers yes... spray it. you loose money at some point if your attempting to minimize that you failed when you bought it, enjoy the car if you like it.

BTW.. if its got parts on it i want, the answers no

wouldnt ever break another car again.

what i would do though is put standard stuff back on it and sell the whole car.

you will get plenty of money for the modded stuff and you can have a little pride in seeing the car live on and someone else enjoying it!!
