possibly sell the vt?

[MkyHnly]

hey guys,

i will put this up in the 'cars for sale' section if i make up my mind, but...

being only 17 and on a crappy casual wage, i am finding it extremely difficult to keep hold of my vt, as well as pay off the debt im in, as well as petrol and insurance etc etc

in that case, i have been thinking recently to sell my vt s1 s pack?

anyway, how much do you think i would get for it?

for a roadworthy (only got in april or so, and being a learner i havent driven more than 1,000ks with the new stuff) i got a new windscreen, 4 new tyres on my 17 clubsport wheels, new engine mounts, new handbrake cable, brake light on the spoiler fixed, new steering rack, new standard exhaust with new chrome tip and completely cleaned up the car

she has just passed the 200,000 (approx 207,000), has an aftermarket stereo and 6's in the doors but apart from that, it is completely standard inside

is it worth it? how much am i looking for?

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

2-3k if your lucky, sadly they have no value anymore, the fact you have replaced alot of stuff may help in the sales pitch but doesnt help the price, still worth bugger all

[Macca86]

Yeah mate. Id say prob $3-4k absolute max if its a really tidy car.
Out of curosity, how much did you pay for it a few months ago?

[MkyHnly]

i paid 3,500 as is without roadworthy stuff
to break even and pay off debts, i need about 4,500k for it

cheers

Try n sell on e-bay see what you get for it mate

[DLFHUB666]

put 5 an a half on it an see what happens

[MkyHnly]

do you think its worth selling, or trying - somehow - to stick with it?

it also would come with 12 months rego as of september and new monroe shocks in new strut towers in the front

cheers

honestly the fact is you have spent so much on it to get it in a decent condition. now you may never have to touch it again for awhile. you know its going to be reliable,you know its all legit & road legal so why sell it. you should get your money back,if not a bit more but then what? have a bit of cash in your pocket for awhile until you need to buy another car which you then may have to spend more money on to get it how you want & for whatever repairs may be needed. so in the end you become no better off than before you sold the commodore & that really doesnt make any sense. so keep the car,try to cut costs in other ways & stick with it. this is your best option thats not going to cause you headaches or heartaches

completely agree with this option mate.
clearly you have already put some hard earned dollars into her, you know now that it is a reliable and nice commy.
keep it mate.

yeah i should hold onto it, but i thought if i could just get out of debt by selling it, i could start again, stop stressing about money while going through year 12

worth an ask anyway

cheers
