JDMGirl Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I regret to say, I am thinking of selling my MB.I cannot afford to fix her at the moment, and she is just sat on my drive collecting cobwebs and rust - so I want her to go to a good home.She has a few problems, but they are fixable. I was just wondering what price I would get for her as she is. - Battery replaced and fitted. Just needs a charge as I have not been able to start her for a while.- Sump and sump gasket replaced due to old one having a hole in.- Rust cleaned up from underneath.- I have a back box exhaust gasket, rocker cover gasket for the car, just needs fitting.- I have done a full service on her, and she runs sweet as a nut. There are a few issues that I still have not fixed.- The brake pistons are siezed, but can easily be freed.- There is a little bit of rust on the rear drivers side arch.- The car "hunts" when gets to half warm. Will be fixing this soon. The car is SORN, but I am planning on getting her back on the road.What price do you think I would get for her the way she is now?Thank you,Kate. (I can upload more recent photo's if people are wanting them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakey135 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Just stumbled across this thread, was getting excited to see how she turned out, wheels woulda been lush so its a shame your having to sell.... Are you thinking of getting another M which needs less work or going for something completely different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMGirl Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thank you.I was looking forward to seeing how she turned out to, but with having no money and just being sat on my driveway - I don't think it's right. I would only sell her to someone who would look after her. I feel bad because I can't at the moment. I don't know what I will be getting after if I do sell. I might get a 1.4 if there's one for sale due to it being cheaper insurance. I will let you all know what's going on, and if I will be keeping her or not.

JDMGirl Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I just thought I should update with this... With much sadness and regret, I have sold my MB. She was just sat on my driveway collecting, so thought it was better for her to be sold on. Luckily, my friend was wanting a project - so it's gone to him .I have recommended the site to him.. You haven't seen the last of Rhonda yet, sorry! (Yes, she was named Rhonda. Not my decision, I promise) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
