Need to make a bit more of an effort to sell this now.

[_Tom]

That's nice (apart from the dash)..

 

[daveski]

Should have put the original one back in for the photos. Will do that tomorrow.
I do have the original one -

 

[_Tom]

MUCH better.

 

[Mr Burns]

Good photos this time, Dave... None of the seats though!?

 

[daveski]

Took the photo off the advert as it has the red dash in.
Will put the standard dash in and take another one.
Fingers crossed I'll get some interest now.

 

[Mr Burns]

You should do mate, especially with some pics of the seats. Are you still having the car you text me about?

 

[daveski]

I dunno mate. It's mine if I want it but I'm still considering keeping this.
Just wondering if I'm making a rash decision to sell this when I might be able to manage to keep it? This is my favourite out of all the cars I've owned and I really don't want to get rid. Should perhaps wait for the house etc to be sorted out before rushing into selling this.

 

[Mr Burns]

You never keep anything though lol.

 

[daveski]

I've had this for 18 months or so! Think that's longer than all 3 Clios combined.

 

[Mr Burns]

You'll know deep down what you want to do.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Don't sell it! I wish I never sold mine tbh and yours is a fantastic spec.

@Brookie. can vouch for my pain.

I certainly can mate.

I'm keeping the seat warm for you for when you come to buy it back in a better spec, don't worry :wink:

 

[imprezaworks]

Car looks nice. The only thing that gets me is when people don't put the steering wheel straight when taking a photo lol.

But glwts matey

 

[daveski]

Seem to be getting a bit of interest but also the people @Daniel used to moan about. Got the 'best cash price' text last night.

 

[_Tom]

I need to get rid of this golf and get something like this. It seems every time I sell a car and have cash waiting the market goes dry..lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Will always get that. Better than people wasting time getting there and having a figure in mind what they want to spend

 

[Brookie.]

It's a brilliant price for a facelift in that spec tbh. I can't believe it hasn't already sold!

 

[ForceIndia]

Bar the springs, same spec as mine. Love mine, glwts.

 

[daveski]

From some of the conversations I've had with people I think the modifications are putting some off.
If it hasn't gone in a week i'll put all the standard stuff on and try my luck. Shame the standard wheels have crap tyres on otherwise I'd sell these.

Bar the springs, same spec as mine. Love mine, glwts.

Mind me asking how much you gave for yours?

 

[ForceIndia]

I bought mine standard, and on lower miles (60k), paid just over 4k. Personally think yours is priced well. Like any modified one it's just a question of the right buyer.

 

[daveski]

Yep I think you're right. I'm surprised no one on MT has taken an interest.

 

[Sir_Dave]

At £3250 its a bargain tbh, especially with the spec.
If you really want to get rid of it, unbolt any mods you can, put standard wheels on it & just sell it as "standard".
My grey one went like that, so my mates wife is currently driving around with R56 brakes, JCW exhaust, Facelift xenons, braided lines & a 15% pulley without even realising. He knows though
My blue one must be worth about 10p lol.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

@daveski fancy a Fiesta ST for a year on lease and £750 on top?

 

[daveski]

Gone

 

[Mr Burns]

What's the replacement now then?

 

[daveski]

Focus

 

[Mr Burns]

Oh god lol... What type?

 

[daveski]

It's cheap, cheerful, drives well and can fit a bike in it. It's a 53 plate 2.0 Zetec. Picking it up tomorrow.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Prepare yourself for some regret @daveski :tired:

To a member on here I see?

 

[daveski]

Yeah it's gone to a member on here. I can always buy another one I guess.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

I certainly can mate.

I'm keeping the seat warm for you for when you come to buy it back in a better spec, don't worry :wink:

Yes! Don't you dare sell it without giving me dibs!
