Got an Itch!! Need Advice!

Got an itch for a different car not 100% sure what yet but it will be alot bigger than the ZS and automatic!

The advice and opinions i'm after is should I try to sell mine as is or put it back to look more standard?

Modified cars don't bother me as I usually don't drive standard cars but not everyone wants them and i'm worried I will be narrowing my market!

Cheers

Brett

normally you get more money if you put back to standard and sell the parts

If you've got all the bits, definitely put it back to standard. Besides you can make even more money by selling the other bits off!!

I would buy the decat...

Agreed with above though, broader market and usually more money if you sell the car as standard, bits seperately.

Yep Auto ... Some of the guys have seen it. Went to Brands ... The coolant issue is sorted by the way guys ! Air block and replaced the bleed valve !

And, got a visit from TegTypeR yesterday and he reckons it's a decent looking motor too.

As for a price to change .... try me !

I'm looking at cars between £2.5-3k as I will probably need a smaller 2nd car for the missus and I'm budgeting on getting somewhere between £2-2.5k for mine thinking nearer the 2k mark though!
