Might Be Selling... Need you're advice people!

[Mish_16V]

In the next few months I may sell my valver... :(

it's being used too much for what it is and not driven enough for pleasure, i'm after something newer (obviously not as fun) but maybe going to look at a newer 106 Gti from a dealer or similar that I can get with a warranty. I don't want to keep racking up miles on such a classic car which is mint at the moment.

I've just been talking through with my dad and i'm in a comfortable financial position to get a nice low mileage Gti or similar even on finance with a warranty, that will hopefully be less trouble than the valver and less to worry about whilst using it everyday.

Those of you who know me by now and have seen pictures etc will understand how much the car has changed since I got it and how much I absolutely love the car to bits...but i'd rather it was bought by an enthusiast and used more at weekends than used as a daily drive by me racking up the miles, with not so much pleasure involved.

A Gti won't be as much fun, and i'll probably get shot down for making this post lol...but sometimes I guess you have to put you're head over you're heart.

What do you guys reckon- in the most unbiased way possible? lol

you gotta do what you gotta do i'm afraid mish, do whatever is the most practical option to suit you.












but KEEP THE VALVER :P

lmfao...I just need the elusive lottery win and i'm laughing lol.

I'm 'comfortable' not bloody loaded

keep the valver and get a cheap oil burner for during the week, old 306 maybe.

I can't afford to run/insure to cars...i'm only 19 so it's difficult at the moment, or yes that would be an option

[Scott-16v!]

:P
if i were to be completely honest mish i would keep the valver, mines also in very good nick as is yours, but i still see it as an everyday car because its a car to be driven rather than a show piece to be used at weekends. plus i don't think mine would take kindly to only being used at the weekends, she prefers a bit of abuse each day

[Mish_16V]

It's not the mileage thing, its more the fact that as much as we all love them so much things do go wrong with them and i thought something newer with a warranty or similar might be the sensible bet.

With situations etc changing this year i want my money to be put into other things other than a lifetimes membership to the towing company

I still love it though

106 gti's are great cars!

[Dancliovalver]

the missus has just bought a 106, and she loves it, but havin sed that i do to, if i had to sell the valver id probably get a black one of these with throttle bodies, they look and go the nakers

[TriO`]

clio for me. Allllllllllllllllllllll day long


IMO mich if you can afford to keep throwing money at the valver you should deffo keep it! if not get the gti. they're are nice little cars.

you'll probably regret it though :P
