Why are you getting rid?

Jillwilson · Post by **Jillwilson** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 10:25 am

Because I want to do a lot of body work to a polo 9n but she's so new and in good condition I'd rather get a written off one and start all over again.

a great example of what cars can do to people

but i see where your coming from.. i get bored with other things very easily and im beginnin to feel that way with my polo, if money allowed i'd change for something more powerful....maybe..just maybe one day!

good luck with selling it if you are its a fantastic looking 9n
looked great at E38

I know its a bit of a surprise but I want to put in a new engine and change the body work and there is no point doing it to a car that has nothing wrong to its bodywork.

Write it off yourself then buy it back off your insurance company.

Im interested in the seats if your splitting, can give you my gti ones to put into the car for sale.

Makes sense though I guess, if you're thinking of a new engine and major bodywork then a not-quite-so-new Polo would be the sensible thing to do...

Good luck with the sale though

Thanks Si.
And yes I might be splitting it up and selling it as bits but am gunna try and sell it as a whole thing first I think.

Best shot at selling it as it is is eBay- will get a better reception on there as most people looking for cars on autotrader are looking for just that- cars, nothing special.

Good luck with the sale though, let us know how you get on.

Yeah i agree, if i where you i would take the rear lights off and remove the install. Then try selling it on ebay. People will then think that its just top of the range with all the leather. Not modified. I found that they go for a top spec car before a modified one.

Modified Polo GTi's only seem to fetch 4,500-5,000 on ebay but totally standard ones seem to get 5,000 - 6,000.

Yeah good idea will have a think tonight about it not too sure about ebay thats all might end up selling my car for a Â£1 wi my luck lol
