    Selling up

    As the title suggests I'm thinking of selling my beloved Betty, Im 22 and having only owned the car a year I think it may be time. I have just recently split with my girlfriend of 3 years and it is now more likely ill be going out more often giving very little time, attention and funds to my pride and joy, so it would only be fair to pass it over to somone who would appreciate it more.
    I absolutley love this car and every time I drive it, it puts a smile on my face and if I was to sell it I'd definatley be back when hopefully a little older, wiser and abit more money to maintain such a great car, what should I do.

    Re: Selling up

    Just keep the car ffs

    you don't need to spend £80 every Saturday night, going out getting drunk and hoping you might bump into a megan fox look alike!

    Just use plentyoffish.com it's free and spend all the money you save on mods for betty

    Re: Selling up

    I know I would regret it, its a big decision equally as big as the decision of my relationship. On one hand I would then on the other I wouldnt.
    I dont know what would be worse seeing someone else in my car or seeing somone else with my misses.

    Re: Selling up

    rule number 1, never compare the mrs to a car.. trust me :P


    Id personally keep it , however you cant let things get stale, it costs a lot now days to store a car, and keeping it outdoors is just a bad idea.

    Obviously im going to say keep it however your 22 (same age as me) and probably would like to try a few other cars, and then come back to the r5 :P

    Re: Selling up

    i got out of 5s for about 7 years always wanted to get back into them but price and misses stood in the way i regret doing it as the car was in mint condition. now im loving it again and still smile everythime i get in it. if you come back in a few years think about how much a 5 will cost!!! they wont be cheap.

    my advice is keep it you will end up regretting it.

    Re: Selling up

    hi mate,

    surely being single now means you can spend more time and money on the 5?

    Surely once a guy becomes single it's the opportunity to buy cars not get rid?!

    Re: Selling up

    what would you replace the car with?

    I'm assuming you would buy another car?
