Default Unwanted Corrado VR6

I am in an unenviable position. I own a '93k' Corrado VR6, fsh, 110k miles, few mods, decent condition. It's been unused for approx 18 months now, which is when I bought the Subaru. I'd like to keep it, but circumstances have forced my hand, and I can't. Because of space limitations, and the expectations of others, I'll take 3k for it. I have every bill, invoice, and receipt for it for the last 5 years, plus some from the previous owner. I've only done 20k in it in the 5 years I've owned it. I'm becoming extremely depressed by its existance in my life because I want to use it, but don't, because of the hours I work, and the difficulties involved in owning two cars which are expensive to insure. Someone, somewhere must realise that this is a cheap car. It's into me for 11k in mods and maintenance, and, as my other half repeats whenever there's an audience, is maintained regardless of common sense! Anyone interested?

shame you didn't post a month ago, a mate of mine just paid £4000 for basically the car you described, but with a few scratches and dents.

Been on here a few times with this, never really had the heart to sound like I wanted to sell though. And I don't, tbh. Really like the car, it's better than the scoob in some respects, but I've promised garage space to my father-in-laws 350z, the sweetener being that I get to use it when I want, on his insurance. What would you do?

Hi, hopeless with pics, I'm afraid. The car's manual, flash red, mods include new 'rotordiscs' and pagid pads, braided lines, enlarged throttle body, Magnex stainless exhaust, Ramair filter, fvwsh, very tidy. Also have many, many spares for sale, inc. engine, big valve head, alloys, panels, mirrors, the list just goes on. Had full, and bloody expensive engine rebuild, cos it did the vr6 'thing' of glazing no.6 cylinder....just after I'd bought it, typically. When it was stripped, I had the standard head rebuilt, replaced the clutch, oil pump, timing chains and tensioners, rings, and every other moving part I could think of, on the grounds that I never wanted to have to take it to bits again! Before it was re-assembled, the engine builder was instructed to hone the bores, and, as it turns out, this is the 'fix' for this problem. Unfortunately, only found this out subsequently....could have saved myself a small fortune had I known sooner. Still have all the invoices/ receipts for this little lot! Probably about 2k all in to have that done. Car has done approx 15k since.
