Default been offered 5 grand for me cossie, do i sell ?

was in traffic and some nutter was looking at me like i was a tv or somink and then started points to me wheels and bonnet, i naurally jimped out me car to see if jim midas touch has rubbed off on me car and the car asks me is the car for sale

anyway, i relax and hug the car for a bit and the gay said hes been looking for a new car and wouild i sell it, i said not sure and he offered 5 grand as he likes it

do i sell it


i know its not a great deal, is my saph worth 5 grand either way or should i rip hios arm off and sell out

all the worry that goes with the saoh they dont tell ya about ( perminant loss of sleep, big stereo turned off to hear incase somthing breaks)


what ya think, he owns a dodgy back street garage so not sure, hes not asked about the car either, just offered me 5 grand


what ya think, whats the pros and cons

well im not greedy, and ive spent a few more quid on me car since on and the 230 mile drive to get it

its not im in 2 minds just never thought id have a car that sooooo many people wnanna throw money towards me

did ya know ive had the car 2 months roughly and i had about 10 pms about me wheels and get loads of conversations in petrols station about the car and also when im at work ive had people talk to me about it

i even had a guy come up to me at work and tell me im selling me car, he wants it


now anyone whos seen me car will be just as confused

i think its the wheels tbh as itsb a dirty white sierra thats never been washed in 2 months

do all cossie owners have this

paid 4500 for it, needed wheel repaired, 2 new tyres, the petrol bill so far ( ok cant include that, shame really as its fooking pricey)


also have ya looked for saffs around, i had a look at a few and fook me there some dreamers out there

i dont think i will get the spec fpr the price i payed but then for a joe publis i payed alot for it . hard pne hence why im asking

well sorry to say this but i dont like the wheel's thay look better in silver see if there is another cossie that you like for sale, i got my rs turbo 3 & half year ago i was offerd £3,500 for it but i said no way 6 months down the line it had to have an engine rebuild and loads more doing to it now it's just left wasting away .

if you have been offerd more for it than what you paid get rid

After reading how poorly set up your car is, I would have sold it on the spot for that .

Sell it before it costs you a load of money as most cheap saffs do...

Save up and get an NICE R32 if whats you really want!

You hardly use the car from what I have read anyway mate
