Selling a car you have owned for over 10 years

you sold a tidy E30 for ONLY £900? you sir are a mad man. You haven't seen the 'seriously overpriced cars' thread have you? these things could easily be sold for £2k upwards. maybe double that if you pay someone £50 quid to take photos with a DSLR.
I agree that I didn't play this one that well. In my defence, the photos are quite kind and the lack of interior photos worked well for the ad.....I would be gutted if it is resold for a profit!

Dammit! Definitely couldn't have parted with that!!Sorry. I'm not helping am I?
k sake OP, I would have bitten your hand off if I'd known!You did the right thing; as much as it's been part of your life, it's your past life and that time is done. It would only bug you if you held onto it.
Did the same thing with my old 456. Owned that for over 10 years, the longest I've owned anything apart from my teeth! Swore I'd never sell it as it was my first Ferrari. But it was the same deal, it just wasn't getting enough use and the costs were still there so it had to go. It would be worth far more now than when I sold it ( a manual M), but no question it was the right thing to do and I don't regret it. A few years on all that I really miss is the smell of the interior, which was absolutely sensational. I doubt you'll miss the smell of your car's cabin though..

Much appreciated! I think that I have missed every car I have ever owned in one way or another!Did the same thing with my old 456.
