Would you ever buy an old car back?
Discussion
Basically I may have an opportunity in buying back my old car which I sold almost 5 years ago.
The car in question is an S1 Elise & I sold it purely because of the amount of miles I was racking up & wanted to sell it whilst it was still worth decent money. I sold it with approx 67k on the clock & the guy who bought it from me has only done approx 10k in that time & has has changed a few things on the car for the better. I am not sure how much he wants for it yet, but he always promised me first refusal. The car is immaculate & I do miss it but would what would you do?

If you can afford it, then do it.The car in question is an S1 Elise & I sold it purely because of the amount of miles I was racking up & wanted to sell it whilst it was still worth decent money.

Iv wanted my Dads Mk1 Mondeo 1.8TD back for a few years, but I can't find it.
definitely. I have improved every car Ive owned and usually taken them back (visually) to full original spec so would have any of them back in a heart beat if the money was right..and the obvious proviso that it had not been abused/crashed/written off in the meantime!..
having said that have seen a few of my ex steers advertised on PH, but haven't been sufficiently keen to buy one back yet..

Doubt if i would... Sold it once, why buy it back? Plenty of motors and choice about.
Good point to make. I did sell it due to it being my only car & the amount of miles I was doing.If I were to buy it back, it would be my only car again & I would have to use the mountain bike alot more.
I found my old ST170 up for a sale a while back and wanted to buy it again, but I didn't know where it had been since I got rid of it and would be pissed off if it started costing me lots.
It sounds like your old Elise has been cared for by someone who respects cars so it could be worth going back.

He has kept in touch since buying it & also informed me of any repaires/mods.It sounds like your old Elise has been cared for by someone who respects cars so it could be worth going back.
I asked him to give me first refusal which he has done, so no concerns over the condition etc it's just wether or not & I can afford another one.
