Default Selling in the off season?

Has anyone sold an S towards the winter period?

Think I might keep mine for a wee bit longer as long as the market doesn't completely die in the rainy season! Its one of those cars you take a second look at and think - cant sell it!

I imagine it just takes a bit longer to sell?

Mine was from Gatwick

Dan, I love it to bits but I chop and change quite a lot. Id like to have a long list of stuff that ive owned

I do sometimes miss the grunt of turbo cars (which ive always had) and its a bit frustrating in the wet. No way is it slow - really impressed with the pace compared to the Teg R I had.

One other thing is that im really into tuning and fiddling, I used to all sorts with the scoobs I owned and do miss all that. The S is so well setup that really only a blower would significantly change it - which I have thought about

Best looking car around though IMO, and I really really struggle to fault it other than the 2 points above.

Still not 100% if I move on or not but might hang on a bit longer.

You are getting confused with MikeS2000's that went to Bluenomad

Winter months selling is a unless you are desperate!

Buy in the winter

Sell in the late spring as the weather gets good and everyone thinks
"oohh a soft top for the good weather "

Its strange but I always feel like I've been used and abused when someone does this, like they're a fraud
