cars you've regretted selling?

[nicknameless]

Hi All,

In a real quandry. Just taken a deposit on our (3rd car) - balance due at the weekend. Reality has hit home and I (and the missus) really love this car. Finances say sell but the heart says keep.

Who's been in the same position and regretted greatly down the line?

Car is a perfectly modded little lupo gti which we've had for 3 years. Got a 200 just over a month ago, and have another diesel for motorway work.

Really don't know whether I will regret this big time. We can afford to keep just, but financially it is not the wisest decision.

???????????????

My Saxo VTS - Suki Saxo, I miss that car so much, I loved that car more than I love any car I have owned since, and I wish I could still have her

But, as with the 197, money has to come first in terms of cars - but in a bitter twist, we would be far better off if we'd have kept Suki rather than sold her

My Sierra Ghia it was the best car I ever had it cost me £5000 years ago and in 5 years it didn't cost me a penny on MOTs and nothing ever went wrong with it
And it was quick for then

I feel your pain mike I sold my vtr, with a vts conversion a while back, worst thing was I sold it to one of my mates, who whilst he has owned has removed the vts engine(cammed and ported and polished head) and put the old vtr engine back in, he has also destroyed the rear axle and also it now idles like a bag of s**t!

I miss that car sooooo much, I know people say saxos are chavy but they are so much more if you modify them properly. :'( I let it go for £1300, it was worth alot more to me than that :/
