Losing a bit of heart with the coupe because it has given me one niggle too many recently. I'm really thinking of getting rid but I'm not sure if it is worth selling as a whole or breaking.
Everything was fine at Christmas so I had the cambelt done for £450. Shortly after that a load of unrelated problems have appeared:
* Clutch judder in 1st gear.
* Leak in my Proalloy water radiator.
* Airbag light sometimes flickers.
* Small oil leak.
* At least 2 tyres will need replacing soon.
So probably needs £1k spending on it having just spent £450
It is also a bit untidy in places, wheels need reconditioning, there are several dents, cracked front Zender bumper, marks on the leather seats. Also, for the last 40,000 miles there has always been a single puff of smoke as it is warming up. It doesn't do it cold, or once warm, and has never got worse in 40k miles so I have never worried about it but it might put off some buyers.
Not sure what it's worth with these problems. It still drives fine, has really good oil pressure and has a load of uprated parts:
* ported hybrid turbo,
* engine completely rebuilt 60k miles ago
* proalloy fmic with SIP,
* flea mapped ECU,
* Koni SSK adjustable shocks,
* loweing springs,
* stainless exhaust,
* ported exhaust manifold,
* uprated fuel system (pump, mod, FPR),
* Greddy boost controller,
* Infinity component audio system,
* barnacle widget
* Complete spares package from another coupe!
I reckon I could probably clear £2.5k if I broke it and as I did my brother's I am not too worried about doing it. That said, if it was worth that as a whole I'd probably just sell it. Any idea of the value?
