Buying Back An Old Friend

[1Addicted]

Have you ever "bought back" an old car that you sold? Were your memories of it relived or did it disappoint you now that times have changed?

I'm looking for a project car (track), which my previous were so I thought, why not get one back and continue. I had originally planned to buy something early 90's with a turbo but I haven't found anything good, yet.

I'm considering buying back one of three of my previous cars, which I loved to pieces and have hankered for ever since but circumstances forced sale at the time. I have no idea where they are, if they're alive or even for sale but I'll do my best. They may not be considered special to some but to me, they were.

1. Peugeot 106 GTi
2. Honda Civic VTi (EG Hatch)
3. Leon Cupra R (Mk1)

No. I would not consider buying back a previous car, only because I run one car only and like a complete change every time.

That's fair enough. Is there not one that you fell in love with along the way?

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but think about an mr2 turbo. Fast and challenging enough to keep you on your toes. Reliable, easy and cheap to diagnose and maintain. It's all about the quality of the tyres and suspension. And the sound will keep you smiling!

Even cars I seriously miss, I don't think I'd buy back. Bigger & better things and all that.

I'd have another car of the same year/model, but wouldn't necessarily want to go back to mine, even where it was a "close friend".

There's a certain M5 that, if I saw it for sale, I'd have a really hard time not buying back.
