I hope this is in the right section. It is regarding selling although i’m initially after advice.
This is a post I thought i’d never write, but I am seriously considering selling my VERY MUCH loved 1992 Mk1 SE. I’ve owned the car for 16 years and I can honestly say it’s like considering selling a family member!!
I’ll not lie and admit that it’s not in the best condition nowadays. The car has succumbed to the dreaded rot which is now at a point where it is beyond me to sort and don’t have the funds to pay someone else. I am still considering keeping the car garaged up until such time that I may be in a position to get the car back on the road, but also really have the realisation that it’ll most likely never happen and it seems such a shame for it to just sit in a garage and rot away.
The car was very well known in the club a good few years ago (pre-kids) where it regularly took part in the rally competitions and did win a couple of trophies (including a couple of 1st places).
The rear arches and sills need replacing along with the offside front wing.
The engine has covered just over 181,000 miles, but still works a treat and (literally) starts on the button every time.
It’s been my daily for 16 years and it’s never broken down on me.
There are a couple of other minor issues that need sorting and these I already have the parts for (offside electric window cable and new indicator stalks).
There are a lot of very good parts on the car including a few upgrades. The roof is in very good condition.
I can list all the existing standard options and all the extra parts i’ve added to the car over the years.
What i’m trying to gauge I suppose is what is it actually worth and whether there’s any interest?
The car is still MOT’d till October so is still currently driveable.
