Thumbs up advise needed on selling my car...

ive been looking at the same car as mine to see what they are selling for and found this..........http://www.autoweb.co.uk/car_detail....hire&cdID=8593

mine is the same age as the one above with nearly the same mileage and i was wondering if mine would sell better as it is now or with the original kit on or is the first car over priced?

mine..........

Not sure whether your looking for a hug or not, but I would leave it as is, and sell the rest of your origanal bits on ebay. Your motor looks good and quite unique in yellow with that bonnet on it.
Leave as is!!

was worried that it might look too chavy so making the sale market smaller. i spose i could give the buyer the option of having the original parts as well. dont know what to ask for it though.........any ideas?

sara
the sport advertised is a bit over the top on price, so not a good comparision really.
yes the mileage is similar and would make some diffrence on the price, but not that much. especially when you get slightly higher milegae turbos at similar prices...

ohh and as for an idea what to get next, how about the boat/bus that does the Frog Tours around london, they come in a lovely fetching shade of yellow

What about a bugeye WRX. Now with the right body mods (bumpers, lights, spoiler skirts) Alloys, lowering they can look really nice. As V5 MAN said as his location: Bugeyes are the new classic.

If you still have the original bits, put in the advert that it could be put back to standard if required, or that the original parts could be included in the sale for £xxx.

Sara, are you keeping that plate of yours? I hope so.

Oh, so I notice, well actually my dad did this afternoon, that you have changed your spacing for the rear plate.
