Default Sell the Cossie for wedding or not??? (Updated!!)

I've had my 4x4 for 2 years now and its the best car I've ever owned. I have been very lucky with it and had practicaly nothing go wrong with it.

However I am getting married in July and I think I am about 2 grand short or our target for our honeymoon. So should I sell the Cos and pay for the honeymoon, or keep it and get some finance for the honeymoon???

I have advertsied it and people are intersted but my arese keeps telling me no!!!

**** A local guy has just knoacked my door, looked around the car and offered me £4k for it, now my head is proper fucked!!!****

My best mate did the exact same thing earlier in the year, sold his 2wd, although he is very happy to be married, it doesnt stop him regretting selling it .

Are you kidding? 9 months away and 2 grand short.......sure you can use your imagination to russle up 200 quid a month till then....overtime, sell some shit....You WILL regret selling it, you've even said its the best car you've ever owned!

At least my missus knows the score, once my project is finished or all parts needed are purchased then I'll discuss marrying her that way she lets me buy shit

Sell it? Fuck no.

I found it all a bit of a come-down when we got back from our honeymoon as we had been looking forward to it for ages. If I was then faced with not having my favorite toy, it would have been much worse.

That would not get married life off to a good start

kkeep it, get a part time bar job, or anything, £50 a week and there you go, especially coming up to xmas, you will make a load doing temp jobs. If you sell it you will regret it, and it will drive a wedge between you and your mrs if anything goes wrong

if you sell your car now, a car you know is spot on and then go to buy one in a few months can imagine that would be a bit of a headache, trying to find the right car that was as trusty as your old one for the same money. I'd hold onto it mate, you will regret it and probably end up buying a car that turns into a problem car
