What do I do - i'm soooo confused!

[john180]

Ok guys,

Here's the story...

I have black MK2 180 which has done just over 80k. In some ways worth more to me that anyone else - prob 2k at best to sell it. I have done a few small mods to this car including dual exit nice stereo etc...

A few months ago i came across a twilight 180 on ebay - i had to have it. It's done just over 45k miles and a great spec too - full leather, the MG sat nav, tin of paint etc etc...

Now i am at a cross roads - i really like my black 180 as i have made it my own but i'm not sure i want to pay out for the 2 with road tax - insurance etc...

So.... do i...

A. sell the 180 black 180 and make the twilight my own, i'm not sure on this as i think its such a rare car it should be kept standard.

B. Sell the black 180 and keep the twilight standard.

C. Sell the twilight and stick with my black one.

D. Keep them both and incure the cost - I can afford it its just a lot of money (?219 a month insurance on admiral multicar!!!)

E. Sell them both...

or any other alternatives if you have any.

I just cant make up my mind on what to do. What would you do guys?

Help me lol!!!

Typical Tim, lol

John,

Keep both, use the black car as everyday and tax/insure the twilight for summer use only.

I thought cars had to be insured all year round now no matter what they were used for, sorn or on the road. is that right?

If the case is that i don't have to pay out silly money for storing the twilight - Kev - you may have my answer.

Yeah, Sorn the twilight that way it doesnt need insured, when you want to use tax/insure for the period of use,

You must declare SORN if your vehicle is:

taxed and uninsured - you must insure your vehicle or make a refund application with a SORN declaration to DVLA

If you're not insured and haven't made a SORN, you could face a penalty.

Just my opinion BTW

If the car is parked on a road - it has to be insured.

You are the only one who knows exactly what to do.

The fact that you're asking us for advice goes to show that the twilight jobbie was a good idea, but, in actual fact, you prefer your black one or it'd be gone already.

I had a great Mk1 then a Mk2 hatch in red with alcantara came up - and I bought it. When they were parked together I knew that I preferred the black one, but figured that I'd get used to the Red Mk2 and so sold the Black Mk1. Worst decision of my ZS ownership.

Sell the twilight.

i still say sell both and buy something better but thats just me and if i could et what i wanted for my ZS it would be gone tommorow

Hey Dan - both cars are parked on private land when not in use so insurance isn't a problem in that respect.

I really like them both but for different reasons - i suppose that is my dilemma.
