right i am reaching a point where i have to consider cutting one of my cars out.
currently i am trying to sell the saff (which i dont want to do, but feel i have to) and keeping my fiesta runaround.
as my housemate is off travelling mid november, i'm having to move out (back in with folks temporarily) so i wanna cut down to one car. now i use the car for commuting etc and at the weekends.
its proving really hard to sell the saff (maybe i am asking too much for it) now the decision is this, do i:
a) sell the saff (maybe much cheaper as need it sold by end october) and use the shitbox runaround
b) keep the saff (sell the fiesta) and try and get over the paranoia (car parks, leaving overnight etc, and just swallow the bigger bills that come with it?
advice please as i dont know what to do?

i think its a fair price for a 4 owner car with 12 months MOT but maybe i am deluded

sell the good bits off the saph seperately (return as close to stock as possible) and that will make it easier to shift.
I wouldnt want to turn a good car into an average car with car park dings etc.

break the car if it aint selling - i have already more than what i wanted for mine as a whole and I still have a garage full of parts
![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Or do as Andy said and return it as close to standard, sell the bling bits and reduce the overall price of the car and it will sell.
I have a std header tank, power steering pot and std turbo damper if you want em.

the only removeable parts are the rondells, (will need wheels) and everything else has been replaced (ecu, inj, breather, zorst, coilovers) and arent worth taking back to standard

the fiesta would make a nice nest egg for if the cos breaks, or maybe cover the fuel it uses for a few months

well i have advertised it on here for weeks now, and had a few PM's but no real interest
will stick it in the trader for 2 weeks, and if it doesnt go by the end of that, i'll sell the donkey and keep the saff for the meantime.

i'm assuming you would have to use car parks for work, cant you work somewhere else that has better parking? i always make a point of checking that when i get a new job. the one time i didnt and took the risk, my door got stoved in ![Sad](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
and for the likes of tesco just park at far end of car park!
as for overnight worries, you could put a pager and security film on the car etc.
