Hi All
What's the best way to sell a very extensively modified (*) '5 these days? The 'forum scene' for 5's seems to have shrunk to the point of almost nothing nowadays, I don't do facebook (and when I have ventured on there, it seems full of chavs and idiots), so that leaves autotrader / pistonheads - the former is more for standard family cars, the latter might be the best option I guess? Or even brave the idiots on ebay?
Any other suggestions or leads to someone who may be interested?
I'm still in two minds whether to sell or not - the car has been tucked away since before COVID in the garage, and has probably only been used a few summers out of the last 7 or 8. It could do with a few things doing to it to get an MOT, and a few more to make it 'really nice' (although it's more functional than a minter) - but I just don't have the spare time or the enthusiasm at the moment
And I bought something else rather special as a sort-of-grown-up replacement as well, and could do with putting that in the garage instead!
(*) Mk1 RS-Ltd with some of the original RS bits (1 Recaro!), forged vvt engine, 6 speed box, Ardler E1 turbo kit, megasquirt, FM 3" exhaust, P5 suspension, 300whp/350+fwhp, yadda yadda yadda. Too modded to realistically part it out and put it back to standard.
