i had a plan, sell tvr tamora, pay off loan, pay off a card and spend life with just my ford ka and cash flow.

that life seems boring tho.

so now im thinking MK indy smile

what i want to know tho is what if the girlfriend has a crazy urge and goes and wants a new house or baby !!!! and 6 month or 12 month down the line the plan is sell MK indy, pay off loan blah blah blah

how easy/hard is this type of car to sell ? and will it lose much of its value ?

If the resale value is an issue, then buy one that has already been built, and on which the builder has taken the financial hit on the difference between what it costs to build one, and what they can be sold for.

Now would be a good time to buy, there are planty of MKs and similar cars out there that the owners would love to be able to sell. Six months from now the high season will be approaching, and (aside from recession) values will be at their highest.

As above not going to loose too much in a year or two. The only thing that devalues Kit cars a lot is if new engines come out, see Westfields with Pintos V Westfields with more modern Duratec engines. Buy an MK with a modern engine and you can't go wrong.

PS Your correct you can't live life with just a ford Ka, you would go insane.
