I took the same decision in spring 2014. It then took me 5 months to finally advertise it. Had one viewer who was reasonable and offered a bit below my lowest prices. As that was my first viewer and because I was in a rush that day and did not have time to negotiate I turned him down flat. That may have been a mistake.

Sorn last winter then advertised in the spring. Lowest price for it year and milage (late and low) and well below dealer prices. The summer has been a train of tyre kickers and time wasters, Where did they come from? Some seemed to expect a 15 year old car top be the same as new. Others where always interested just as soon as I sell my (insert suitable similar car). The last burke rang and offered significantly lower than my lowest price because apparently he had spoken to a number of dealers and they where all prepared to offer 30% of their ticket prices.

Best of luck if you decide to sell. I am sure the same idiots will visit you as well.

Get a sapphire cosworth as there gonna be the next RS Ford to go for silly money.

Bought an escort cosworth 3 years back to replace my Griff 500 and the escort has nearly double in price and ive used it way more than the Griff haha
Yes Steve. Just spotted your post, but seem to recall you needed the extra seating that the Cossie offered, hence increased use!
Griff going strong and hasn't seen its roof since arriving in Ireland! That
said it only comes out to play on dry days throughout the year.
