You would probabley get more money in the summer?

Cant you do the insurance on the monthly or is that still far to high.

Shame to come so far with it and selling it.

No idea' what it should be worth,
but looks a really nice motor.

Last word : mmmmm Keep it, till summer.

Sorry to sound like a kiljoy, but modified cars arent worth any more than a tidy, std example - unless you can find someone who specifically wants that type of car, with the mods you have done.

My old S13 for example, I had recipts for £15k+ for the car when I was finished, and it was a very tidy example.

I sold it for £4000 - about £500 more than a std, tidy one frown

I would prolly have been better off stripping it and selling the bits and then the std car.

I have to agree with Stewy Mac here smack

A modified car will not fetch good money unless you can find the right buyer who likes your style of modifying. When we modify cars we all do it to our own individual style to suit our own tastes, your car is nice and i like it allot but it's not everyones cup of tea.

Also Insurance is allways an issue with modified cars, young drivers would typically be interested in your car and a young driver would have the same problem insuring the car especially with all the modifications declared.

When you modify a car you are really limiting the market you can sell it to. Would propably require allot of specialst advertising in all the right places, Max Power, Redline, Auto-Trader, Modified Car Sites to attempt to find the right buyer.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do anyways mate, on a final note i think you are crazy to sell it, its obviously your "Baby"
