...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.

I had the guy i bought mine from practically harass me for the car back.

NO SALE MATEY

Good luck with the sale mate, it'll solve your cashflow situation.

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?

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...
