Question

I`m trying to sell my Terzo at the moment. Sometimes I can`t wait to get rid of it & other times I`d rather keep it. Its done 31k miles, FSSH, Scoobysport box & PIAA lamps. Its in great condition. The only reason I want to sell it is all the money I have tied up in it, its paid for by the way. Its reliable, looks smart sounds great & its the newest car I`ve owned.
So.....should I sell it?
If so, why?
If not, why?
Please help me it`s driving me up the wall
The only complaint is that the bloody back seat doesn`t fold down at least I dont think it does.

If you can honestly say your only complaint is the back seat, you're laughing. Sit in the front where you belong and the problem is gone.

Lee you've been considering selling it for ages mate. If you haven't made your mind up yet, you obviously can't want to sell it. Enjoy....

Cheers,

you'll sell it, take a caning in depreciation, buy something that will be dissappointing, then buy another scooby, you'll miss your terzo, and wish you'd never sold it in the first place

is it the money, or is there something else bugging u about the car?

I just traded in my Landy for a Scooby (sounds weird) and lost about £2500, also the insurance people are *******s and steal a ton off you too. If you really think you can handle the loss, trade it in for a new one!

My Terzo back seat p'd me off, too. Apparently you can't fold it, only remove it. Wits may laugh, but I was renovating a house at the time, and it ain't funny when you've no income to hire another car, or nearby friend with an estate to nip out for second-hand furniture. I sold it, and lost 10 grand in 14 months. But my sale was a must - I was moving from UK to Portugal.

Can you perhaps swap it for a 5-door to someone who wanted a 4-door but only managed to get a 5-door at the time? (2 yrs ago, when I bought mine, there were less 4-doors around).

Good luck

If you're really considering getting rid of it, may I suggest you try driving some alternatives first - what are you thinking of trading it in for?? Mine went into the repairers today, and they've given me a Clio as a courtesy car. Try one of those for a couple of days (minutes even...)....soon change your mind...

You`re right Robs, I`ve got access to a few cars ,dads, g/f`s in laws etc & they`re all crap It`s just all the cash sitting in it that I`m bothered about cos unlike some people who are used to new expensiveish cars I`m not. The most I spent on one before this was £4500 so after seeing all my savings in it I`m getting cold feet but never mind at least I can just about afford to run it

Hows about seeing if you can get the rear seat bits from a scrapper to do the folding thing?

Mick, why did you never suggest that to me a year ago?

I'm no expert, I would think that any 4-seat MY98 seats, normally folding, should fit.

Only problem is the covering. The Terzo's got Alcantara, which I though was excellent. Can you successfully transfer it to, or recover in a matching way, the new ones?
