LE 38.... Weighing up my options #973710

Hi all

I have been the proud owner of LE38 for approx 5 years now and love the car, however, despite only doing only approx 2k miles per year (cycle towork), it's begining to look a little tired on the outside and in need of some tlc. Unfortunately my new job doesn't give me the spare time the car desrves and whilst the car is lovely to drive and the interior is in lovely condition the outside really could do with a respray, certainly the front and the roof, therefore, may as well do the whole car.

Considering my love for fiat coupes (this is our 3rd and favourite) and my lack of spare time to get a respray and other minor jobs sorted, I am thinking of other options such as:

1 sell the LE as it is and let someone with the time bring it back to life with a respray then add some capital to the sale and buy another when the right car comes along.

2 swap / px my LE with someone on the forum who has a very good condition coupe who craves true LE status.

3. Sell up and just remember the coupe days and go and buy something else.

What dyou reckon, if you can think of any other options let me have your thoughts.

Andrew

i say sell it to Mario!!

he is craving LE satus, wants to give a lot of love to an LE and wants to make one his own!

also, with the money you get from it, buy a normal coupe to keep your days alive and still be able to enjoy it!

Keep it and give it to a garage to tidy it up for you laugh
If your working so much let someone else make it nice for you, it will be money well spent and you get to keep a lovely car wink
