I know it's not your choice man, but once it's gone, you'll always regret letting it go.

What a honey that is! I fear you may struggle to find a buyer, most V300 enthusiasts aren't prepared to spend that much on one. That's not to say it's overpriced, looks like it's worth every penny. Just that the market's depressed right now, nothing seems to be selling for much.

I really like this too... top money but you could spend less on a car that then needs £100 worth of work easily... horses for courses!

I really like this too, and hope someone spends the money on it.
Thing is, woodoos 1.6million hp valver just sold for about this money.
Theres 2 340s on ebay with an ask of over a grand, but stuff seems to be actually selling for peanuts.

Im so confused as to how high your insurance is
Have you looked at the prices of newer cars... i need something with cheap insurance... and both volvo and fiesta... both are pretty much as cheap as i can find

I've personally found a similar sitution with my Volvo this renewal, I can insure newer cars with bigger engines for the same price i can insure my 1.4 340. It almost seems like they're trying to force the youngsters out the retros

c*nts! It's just aswell that I don't like new cars, nor do I want a bigger engine
