Buying back a car once owned

[Andy665]

Let my Westfield Seight go in late 2018 - too impractical and now replaced with a TVR Tuscan but seen the Westfield up for sale today - only done about 1,000 miles in the last 4 years and tempted to buy it back

Issue is that whilst I loved it the reasons I sold it are still there - simply a very hardcore car (even for a V8 Westie) and not sure I would drive it very much

Anyone offer words of advice - already done the man maths :-)

Realistically... Is it going to lose much value over a year or two of ownership (to re-scratch that itch)?

If not, why ever not?

If the man maths works out and the 'er indoors won't be too mad, I can't see any reason not to.

Its up for £4k more than I sold it for 4 years ago - only improvement made to it is a fibreglass 1/2 tonneau cover

So it would probably depreciate little if at all, or even go up a little in value?

If you want to have it back for a year or two and it's unlikely to hit too hard in the pocket, I can't see why not!!

Went back to an ex girlfriend once and, whilst I loved her, the reasons for it ending were still there, and so it didn't work out...again.

Not sure if the same applies with cars but, possibly better to quit while ahead, with good memories, than regret going in again.
