May sell my car :(

[josh-hocking]

Hi guys,
been thinking really and as much as i love my car i keep thinking of selling her

reason is that there is so many cheap cars out there!! you can pick up a e46 for £3500 and audi tt for £4500, now i know my car aint worth that but i have a few quid saved up aswell.

i carnt even drive yet lol but i keep thinking one of the above cars is going to get more wows from me mates lmao,

Please guys put me back on track

please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Josh

your more likely to insure a 316i at 17 than a TT mate!
If I was you I'd keep it make sure it stays solid then shove an s50 in when the time is right.. or sell it for an //M3 like I did

edit - new cars don't talk to you like e30's they aren't the greatest car in the world but they are so much better on an a road than sat on a motorway or carpark

What cars are your mates realistically likely to own to start off with? And does it really matter what they think?

Although the 46 & the TT both have far safer handling than your E30, the mixture of inexperience and a fast car will have you in trouble and I don't just mean speeding offences. Plus you'll probably pay for the car twice with the insurance quotes you'll get for the above.

You've put a lot of effort into your car, be a shame not to be able to properly appreciate it.

When they see you going sideways on a wet day, then you get a 'Wow'

And fuck your mates.. It's your car.

if he gets a fwd TT then he'll be in the shit! they aren't safe no FWD is safe.

If you can afford to lose your savings go ahead Josh. Virtually every penny of depreciation has gone already from your car. Buy an Audi TT or an e46 and watch your savings disappear down a big black hole. Then theres insurance. You have half a chance of insuring yours. Audi tt?????

And if your friends don't appreciate the e30 as the classic quality icon it is? Ditch 'em.

i know - its killing me not being able to drive i dont want to sell it but i keep thinking of other cars that i could afford and my mind wonders

im hoping you guys can sort me out

[josh-hocking]

[ImysE30]

Nice to own but got to look at the bigger picture especially with insurance.

E30's are way cooler

look at that, a hell of a lot of car for the money, if i got £1500 for my e30 its not a lot more

ive been really tempted

[Bob_S]

alex, your car, that engine.. get busy.

[Alex]

alex, your car, that engine.. get busy.

my car = that engine = perfect e30

[josh-hocking]

alex - i know. i'd like to think i could get 2000 for mine (if not as one breaking it ) and im half way too a very nice car!

i love my e30 and every thime i look at it i smile lol

i think you guys have convinced me

That is lovely! I really like them wheels! Theres a car that looks exactly like that on pistonheads but its dark green and it got me sorely tempted!

[ImysE30]

Keep it real, keep it E30

[Alex]

i think you guys have convinced me

yours is a lovely e30, you might not find one in as good condition and you have spent loads on it, getting the top end rebuilt etc

with a proper engine you will be very happy

i supprised a new merc today in mine while overtaking cars he tried to keep up but never got past

why not keep that for weekends sell the tech 2 and get a nice e46 that way you still have an e30 and a stunning one at that

[ImysE30]

And how old are you? Lucky guy

[GrindCulture]

Keep it! Your car is gorgeous and you've put a lot of time and effort into it. Not many cars have the character and charm of an E30 IMO.

[josh-hocking]

im 15 lol i know i really should keep it

[ImysE30]

I wish i had parents like you, Keep it

[josh-hocking]

[josh-hocking]

[josh-hocking]

[ImysE30]

Looks posh to me, 3 E30's at 15, nice big house

[Alex]

i aint posh lol other wise i woundnt have choosen to go to the worst school in the area whilst my brothers and sisters went to a really posh private one lmao

if you drive an e30 your not posh

your parents have just done well for themselves

good on them no doubt i will always be skint all my life and drive some sort of used bmw

[Blitz]

By time you start driving your E30's would have increased in value.
