You reckon you'll get many takers on the VX boards?
#227: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: ChinaB, Location: TynesidePosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:22 am ---- Well I'm looking forward to the next project thread mate I've found this one fascinating, mainly because I have as little to do with the "scary lid" as possible on my motor!

Most of them have said between 12 and 14 grand, so start at 14, go from there really. And considering there are only about 30 S/C'd cars worldwide I'm confident it will sell in about a week or two if I put it up.
I'm going to sell this, buy a proper crapper at a couple hundred quid, insure it for peanuts, and buy another N/A VX when a good model comes up that I like. Then things will go from there I hope!
I already have a Europa Blue N/A I could buy if I wanted to.
At least that might be the plan at the moment. We shall see. If I get a taker she'll be gone fairly quick.
#229: Re: Seb's VX Project Author: GazRG, Location: Bournemouth/CardiffPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:49 am ---- Why sell yours after all the effort and time you've put into it though only to buy another one?
#230: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:56 am ---- Because a standard N/A will cost me about 8k, and a shed would be no more than 1.5k to buy and insure, hopefully less, so I'd be about 4k up realistically. And that's what I'll have to help me live off. Can't afford to keep the VX maintained, costs about £180 a month for insurance/tax/MOT/oil/wear and tear.
A shed would cost nowhere near that, and if it did I'd probably just get rid of it tbh.

#232: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 12:06 pm ---- Hmm.. I want! but like you face a long trip too and from work it's worth every penny big power on a budget and such a good example too.
#233: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 12:19 pm ---- What happened to the Golf, Seb?
Obviously I'm gutted you're selling-up, after such great fun at Kemble.
Must been heartwrenching to sell it
#234: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 1:52 pm ---- The Golf belongs to my girlfriend's dad, I could in theory either use the polo, or buy a car with my brother and share that, and just take the VX off the road until I can afford it again.
#235: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Jonno, Location: Boston/Spalding LincsPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 1:55 pm ---- that option sounds much better
#236: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:02 pm ---- I hope it works out financially as well though!
#237: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 7:00 pm ---- Get yourself a real car like a 205 or a 309 and supercharge a gti-6 engine in one of them instead?
Running costs will be high in this, but surely in the long run keeping this or putting it back to standard and keeping the s/c kit to put on your next car will be more cost effective?
#238: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:17 am ---- I'll give you 7 used postage stamps and a bag of mouldy bananas for it?
#239: Re: Seb's VX Project (Up for sale soon) Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 12:03 pm ---- Psht. Useless.
I will keep it if I can.
Took 1 out of the 3 camber shims out of the front wheels for now, will see how it performs during the first few sessions, then possibly take another out on the day and see what difference it makes.

I will match that and raise it by adding a new shiny paper clip!
I can see the reasons behind selling it Seb, atleast getting a banger should be easier to find with the scrapage scheme gone.
