ez_101 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Right well over the last few months iv contemplated selling my car, mainly for the reason that to get it up to my standard it will cost quite abit of money, i would want a re-spray new suspension all round and some engine work doing. Plus i have always wanted a highline... so i dont no weather or not to save my money that id spend on this one or spend it on a new car getting that to how i want....I would pretty much sell an organ to have either highline or Porsche 928....Some advice/opinions would be much appreciated.Cheers,Elliot Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 There will be faults with anything you buy including new. Why not get your car to the standard you want and be chuffed to nuts that you got it that way? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have never been a fan of all this highline non highline business myself. Just get a car looking good and how you are happy with it. Mine hass a higher spec interior than a highline as I dont like leather, Recaros were an optional extra across the range as was clamte control....only thing that stops mine being a highline is on the logbook as even the colour is highline colour.You will never be happy with how your car looks as you know its bad points.People love my car and would want it but I think its way short of the standards of other peoples cars on here, but im happy with my car as its a ongoing thing with me. Really do need to get rust bubbles sorted along with arches folding flat so R888s dont catch when on track etc tecI could go on and on about my car but not worth it as they are only small things really, it runs day to day and has never let me down once....apart from when i crashed it 3 or so yrs ago Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Purely for the fact that i want a black highline lol Plus mine has just hit 150k and was thinking of getting something just under 100k... Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Mines on 153k ish and I charged it just before 150k Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Also remember 2nd hand car prices are falling so you wont get a massive amount for any 2nd hand car, let alone a modified one. Unless thats what someone wants. You've tried before and not had much look. But its upto you at end of day.better the devil you know than the devil you dont .....so they say Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 i know i know, and i know that its only just run in, but it purely in my head im scared of something serious going wrong with it, not that iv had any problems what so ever to date...i just think if i could get a younger chasis/body then it takes half my problems away instantly...i have slight rust issues underside! lol Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I understand that completely, but low mileage doesnt always mean more reliable.Do what makes you feel good, im looking for a 2nd car now as i wanna take risks away from the VR Link to post Share on other sites
ez_101 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yea thats my other option, buy a dailey driver to conserve the mileage of the VR... these are the decisions i face....lol Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Before I get flamed, I know it's not VAG. But I bought a new ST3 just over a year ago and was never really happy with it. I could find fault and floors all over the car, but looking back that was because my expectations were so high. You'll find fault with whatever you buy.Here's my previous.

craggsy 91 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 But Igive abuse out but can also take it.....if its gonna prolong the life of my VR then so be it. Nothing in the VAG group takes my fancy unless paying out £10k plus and dont fancy that either Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Knew it would get a reaction, but unless you've had different cars how do you know what's good and what's not. I have 2 VAG cars at the moment and have always gone back to German build quality after trying others. You'll be telling me you don't like Supra's next. Link to post Share on other sites
