Default A sad day.

My 4x4 Saph is in a poor state and I'm afraid to say that since some bassa poured paint stripper round it, I've neglected it pretty bad. My heart ain't in it any more so I'm flogging it for a bike. Don't want to break it though - can you guys give me any idea of what sort of price I should be looking for? Any help is much appreciated.

It's a 92 K with 95k on the clock. Engine's solid enough but it needs a full respray, welding under the driver seat, new rear tie bars, a new passenger front side hub assembly and one of the 17's is needing renewed. It's got a full service history though and a load of receipts but it still needs about £1200 - £1400 spending on it.

I'm not happy about letting it get in this state but after it got paint strippered (third time it's been vandalised - got scratched and the windscreen got panned in) it's time to get rid.

Bit out of my league mate!

Really don't want to break the Cossie - I hate seeing them go but I've totally fell out with the motor thanks to jealous ex-boyfriends and their vandal tendencies! Isn't even my bird he's jealous of, it's my old boys!!

Nah, this isn't an advertisement chief. Just needing advice. Looks like I may have to break it which is a shame. Great motor to drive as well.
