...have resold their cars to previous owners?
I had an email from the guy who bought the car I now own in 1996 and owned it until 2004. He wants to buy the car back so I was curious as to how many Zoners have sold their cars to previous owners, or, have bought back a car they previously owned.
How many Zoners...

Thanks again for your time.

The fella I bought my car from reluctantly sold it in the first place but then called a couple of times trying to buy it back. Felt for him in a way, and he was very polite but I was content to keep it!

I bought my Sport back after selling about six or seven years previously, it hadn't been at all well looked after especially considering the owner was a mechanic
Its funny how the niggly little things you remembered when you first owned the car are still on the 'to do' list. I'd actually spent a few years looking for one similar but they're rare here in Jersey so I though balls to it and tracked down my old one and bought it back, that was in 2008.
Its still a project and I can go months and months without touching it but I would like to be able to one day have it mint, that would be a really nice ambition to realise, I have done alot of mechanical work to it like fit a lower mileage engine and box etc so the next big thing will be the bodywork...eventually...I hope.
Would I sell it? theres times when I get fed up with it and its gone beyond the money pit stage but I think I might regret parting with it, I think if I bought another the same all minty it wouldn't have the same emotional attachment.

how much were you being offered?f4stjay wrote:...have resold their cars to previous owners?

there is nearly always a price for most things.
i am pretty sure you could be persuaded if the price was right.
The car is for sale at the moment so I'd be very happy to see the car go to a previous owner...pony wrote:how much were you being offered?f4stjay wrote:...have resold their cars to previous owners?
