hey there,
well its over for...itsovr. Been full 12 months and its time for a new car,
for those that know the car, should i return the car to standard, talking about only the springs and rear boot and spoiler, or advertise it as is??

vehicle had a full service today, and is all prepped and ready to go market

what do you guys think? also for those in vic where is the best place to sell?

thanks

i belive if you sell a car in its standard condition it appeals to a larger market, an elderly person will not buy a car with mods hanging off it but a younger person will buy a stockie & mod it themself

Kodar whats the next toy going to be

Advertise it as is and then if people ring ask how they want it.

yeah i guess thats a very valid point

i am interested in an AMG C32, but will return to ford grounds after thats done its 12 months in my hand if i get one. BY then may be in the market for a DJR or a typhoon

You could have advantages in both way's,
Standard, you will have better luck off loading it to someone that isn't after something that draw's attention,like the older generation,
Modded,as is. you will attract the younger market that think, WOW that thing is wicked, I would try your luck as it is.

Why do mods to a car you only keep for 12 months? Why only keep a car for 12 months? I don't know about other people, but I get attatched to a car and just don't want to get rid of it, especially if it hasn't given you any dramas.

ITSOVR - XR8 · 08-02-2004, 04:23

yeah thats a point as well,

its just a psychological thing i got, i mean the car has only given me one problem at the start and that was when they forgot the assembly pin in the differential, besides that it has brought many smiles to my face.

To be perfectly honest this is the hardest one to sell, my audi and holden and other previous cars were a breeze to sell, this one has a special place which is why ill return to the ford oval! however the longest i have had a car in my 4 years of driving is 16months so ill just have to stick to that track record

do you own a house? if not it sounds like you could afford one so maybe keep the car and get a house instead. if you do already own one then enjoy your new merc!!! i know i would!
try unique cars magazine or just trade it straight in to save the hassles.

lowered supsension
Standard Falcon bootlid - no rear spoiler
