Considering selling my LE #672318

I'm considering selling my LE. Just had a baby, and that's rendered it pretty inpractical. I'm not sure what to do though. I'd always wanted one, and I'm concerned that if I let it go I'll regret it. But it's a second car, and my main drive is faster, more comfortable, and four doors - so more practical.

It's red, and done just over 50k miles. At some point in it's life it's had a bit of a bang in the back, but apart from that it's in great condition.

I guess it depends what I'm likely to get for it. It's not like I really need the money - but it might be nice to have it in the bank rather than sitting on the drive not getting used. So.....what do you think it's worth? Or is now really not the right time to sell?

Around £4k perhaps and no, now is not the right time to sell (and you may wait a while to shift it).

However, IMO it is very unlikely to ever be worth more than now unfortunately ...so I'd say to sell now if you wish / need to \:\)

Keep it if you know it's good car with no issues. Getting harder to find all the time should you regret it and want a replacement.

A lot of people on here have sold their coupes over the past year, regretted it and are now back in the fold.

the point is though that anytime in the next 12-24 months is going to be a bad time to sell. If its just stuck on your drive and isn't being used (at all) then its time to sell.

Of course, kid grow up and before you know it they can climb into the back of cars without the aid of a parent. The only thing I miss with the coupe is having something big to lug stuff around in, but I think a multipla will sort that issue out.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Looks like you think it would be better to keep....I think I'll mull it over for a little while. Perhaps getting it out on the road for a drive might help me make up my mind.

Thanks again
