The time has come!! (I think anyway)

Well the 180 passed its M.O.T today just needing 2 sidelight bulbs (what a job that is with a hot engine!!!) and an advisory for front tyres soon!

Thing is I always wanted one but I've now had it almost 2 years and am getting the urge for something else but can't see it go for peanuts so is the Parkers price for good private of ?1105 anywhere near right???

The car is the one in my sig with the listed mods has done almost 92K and has FSH!

Any advice welcomed.

Brett

I normally don't have a car much more than 6 months so to have it 2 years is a miracle just wanting something better built that doesn't rattle bang and knock over every imperfection in the road and believe me theres alot round this way!!!

Petrol isn't the problem as I'm thinking about bigger engined cars anyway!

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Depends on your budget.

For 2k there REALLY isn't much/anything else as good or better for the money hence people end up buying another.

If you have more to splash, something with 8 cylinders maybe?

Another couple of grand on what i get for the 180 maybe a little bit more!

But if the Parkers price is near to what I'll get it'll get broke!!

So for argument sake, 5k?

I can't think of anything else for 5k I'd rather have. Lots of cars out there, E36 328i maybe, or a 200sx, a Scooby if you can handle the running costs.
