Getting rid of the 350i 2+2 ...

[PieterLOL]

A couple of weeks ago I had an accident in my Fiesta ST, a not-so-sharp pensioner decided to cross the road without watching and it was too late to avoid him, punched the brake pedal into the floor, but I was doing 70 kph and only had 10m. Daughter, wife & myself are ok and will have no lasting injuries, however the car is total loss. So have been thinking this over for a while, and TVR ownership doesn't really make sense anymore, and this event kind of was the last drop. I'll have to buy a new daily driver anyway and would like to go for a C-segment hot hatch, so budget would be welcome.

Although I love the rawness of the 350i, my dream car always was a Tuscan, and I believe I could part with TVR ownership for now. Simply don't have the time to spend on the car between work and family, I also appreciate the comfort and reliability from a modern fast car for an occasional spirited drive, from January onwards my home is in a low-emission zone and I can't park the car anymore, ... Basically all rational arguments are telling me it's time to move on.

I'm open to feedback on why not to do it.
I'm also open to feedback on what this car might be worth:

Sorry, valuations are not allowed as per the rule of posting no.4.

why not to do it? Same incident in the wedge (10m, 43mph, warm tyres) you would have stopped with 5m to spare.

So use the wedge as your daily driver.

Wedges scare the crap out of old people so you will be okay in future...

Sorry, was not aware valuations were not allowed ... I just click agree without reading when the terms pop up like everyone else :-)

Pedal feel in the ST is a lot worse, but it brakes hard ... Quite happy that I was in the Fiesta to be honest. Wedge as daily is not an option - oldtimer taxation in Belgium doesn't allow you to use it for work/school runs, and I'm also scared to death to put my daughter in the back without seatbelts :-) Even in her fancy Recaro seat.
