wrong time of year? over priced? too modified?

slowly putting back to standard but its so hard to do that when i have to get the standard parts first!!

Id say wrong time of year and too modified, I dont like the front end (bumper, lights) or the wheels, thats just my opinion though mate.

People are surprised cars aren't worth what they were last month or the month before.

I'm looking at saabs at todays prices and people are still trying to sell them at yesterdays, which means I need to wait until they get realistic before I can get one

I took a small hit on my clio because it wasn't worth being stuck with it for the sake of a couple of hundred quid.

thought about trying to part ex it on your next car? will get more money back that way probably, best bet is always to strip the aftermarket bits and sell separately anyway as you make your £££

8 owners in 7 years is a bit of a put off to me to be honest, also in the ebay ad you've specified that parts shown are no longer on the car, scrap that and just put up pics of how it sits now.

still a bargain in my eyes.

Your's isn't a standard C and interest doesn't equal cash in your pocket unfortunately.
