Dilemma advice ??? Opinions please ?

Postby Boostjunky on Sat Apr 05, 2014 6:46 pm

Hi I have a bit of a dilemma and after second opinions/advice from outsiders looking in so to say

Here's my dilemma , I have a frst which is totally std low owner and mileage just recently put it on the road after being dry stored for 4 years :o

I'm currently using the car on the odd weekend and also as a second car if you like ,now I did have the frst up for sale @ 3.7k which I feel is about right for the car only interest I've had so far is from the original owner who wishes to buy it back of me .....

Now here's were I'm in a quandary I'm in no rush to sell and don't really need the money either ,although to be fair would help with restoring both my s1 non customs ...

What I'm asking is if that the original owner doesn't buy my frst back do you think I should just dry store the car again for another 4 yrs or so and in that time let it appreciate in value which being std low owner/mileage it should do .
Or should I just sell it and move on and concentrate on the s1,s ????


I have the space to tuck it away again but not sure if it will be worthwhile doing so ???


What you guys think ,just after some impartial advice please
Cheers

Been in the same situation for the last 5 year,and decided to keep.Prices are now rising especially in the last year and more people want standard cars to restore or buy restored.
My rallycar needs some bits so im in two minds wether to sell car and all the new parts(been saying that for a while lol)

Keep it mate, you'll definitely not lose any money on it, and I'm sure it will be worth more in a few years time.

:D
