I feel gutted about selling cars I dont even like!
The feeling when you get a new car more than makes up for it though.

ProjectBobcat

I normally just hope that whatever i bodged together doesnt fall apart before the buyer gets a safe distance away.

mikelomax

yep, guy drove my ferrari 360 away felt like i had lost a family member. also when i sold my saff which i spent most of my life finishing my little girl was heartbroken she cried for a good couple of hours.

i cried when i sold my s1 hated hearing it go off up the road
also cried when i sold my old orion but i think that was case i was preg at the time

Ginge !

that wasnt sold to you,,, you borrowed it till you sorted another car and the tax ran out on it when you wanted to give it back,,, 6 months later but im sure you earned on that car too !!!

matts1

depends what it is and how hard it has been to sell, for me it was a gutter when I sold..

My FRST - wasn't 100% about selling and was gutted to see it go
My first S1, looked awesome as it drove off and loved it.
My second S1 - sold it due to lack of use and it looked stunning as it dissapeared around the corner with the new owner smiling ear to ear.

But had a host of others cars that i didn't bat an eyelid over as there was i was taking a step up on the next car or already had the next car.

We did a part x on the BMW mate, I paid £250 for it from memory and I lost money on that cab as it was fucked when I sold it to Bamo as it had that small wheel bearing problem

Ginge !

my little girl cried when she seen the scooby after i crashed it,,, infact when it snowed back in december she called me at work and told me to park up "izzy" and get a bus home so i dont crash another car the cheeky fooker !!!




brought her to tears,,, couldnt belive how upset she got !!!

smirnoff

happens to me every time ive sold one of my cars,i never let anyone drive my cars and its when i see them being driven away then see them from the outside,i always think "what am i doin"

when i sold my saff was the only time i've been gutted; mainly because i put so much time & effort into it

the bloke who bought it drove it back to Norway; he wanted me to show him to the motorway junction so i drove my other car and he followed me; when he knew where he was you hammered past me like i was stood still - it sounded awesome on full chat! i missed it instantly!!!!

Ginge !

hey that car was MINT when i got it !!!

it never broke down apart from running out of fuel,,,,,, hey you even got the mondeo rims off my tennis cabrio with that,,, 90 spec recaro seats,, power roof, heated screen and spax suspension ( though ill admit it could have done with a set of top mounts)

there was a starter motor issue,, just needed some threadlock

ok ill confess,,,,, i killed that car but at the time i was earning 9k a year working at halfords running a cossie and a escort cabrio,,,,, what fucking chance did it have !!!

Was this a different car to the one you sold me?
It had totally fucked Gmax shocks and a manual roof. Still got the passenger 90 spec in my mk1 though

Worse car I ever owned, happy to see that scrapped.

Yea sort of rushed into it. A friend of a friend really wanted it, and offered me good money. so let it go. Spose will still see it about.
And I still have the Fezzy



Sorry mate The money I got offered I knew you would never be willing to pay. In a good way mind.

James

yeah i was sad when i sold my sierra, and well gutted when i sold my mk1 fiesta. buut as you say going out the next day and buying something new makes up for it.

Oranoco

Was gutted to watch my Fiesta RS Turbo drive off up the road with the new owner. The bitch talked me into selling up and I was hoping I would get a chance to get out of it while the advert was up but the first guy that came and looked took her away. In hindsight I should have kept the car and sold the woman instead. Car turned out to be far more faithfull to me

poormansporsche

i had a old corrado once, it was slow, leaked oil and water, drank juice but the bodywork was absolutely mint and i paid virtually bugger all for it and for some reason that i cant put my finger on i loved it, i used to get chufties every day with it, its the only car ive ever enjoyed cleaning and polishing. I wasnt even selling it but was offered a stupid amount of money by some bloke in the street and couldnt turn it down. When the bloke came to pick it up he brought his 17 year old younger brother with him as he was buying it for him. As it turned out he had already written off one corrado and the younger brothers first comments were "yeah man lick wicked, will look ace once slammed and kitted" and i was like nooooooo ! Nearly did cry as he wheel spun up the road !

Matt_16v

As highlighted above i think a lot also depends on who buys it! Have to say ive been lucky there, all of the cars ive sold have gone to people im happy to sell. Saying that, most of the cars ive sold ive only done so as they are broken! But you still get that horrible feeling and think of all the good times you had with them as you see them driven, well, trailered, away!

regretted selling my M5 but one of the highest profits ive ever made in a car.

was genuinely gutted though and since then not really sold anything other than my escos.

Yeah i was gutted when i sold my S2. I couldnt look at it going up the road on back of a trailer. I would defo sell my motor now and buy it back in a flash too if it comes up again. Was in a sorry state when she left mine but she was my sorry state just didnt get to do what i wanted to do with her cause i was ill.

rabmc

I did when i sold the 2wd saff and my focus rs. other than that glad to see the back of them at the time
