Hi all, the time has come to sell my beloved vRS.

 

It has served me well for the past 5 years, but my job and what my job will require, will want me to have a more "professional look". Also price wise I have been able to buy a newer mk 2 FL for a very decent price (couldn't leave the vRS alone!).

 

So now the conundrum starts. Does one keep it as it is, or do I reset it back to standard?

 

Over the years I have collected a lot of expensive items, which I know I will never see the value back from, but the parts could easily be stripped off and sold off.

 

As it standards:

 

Black Magic, 180k on the clock.

Factory: sunroof, computer, anthracite interior, aircon.

Extras: Allard FMIC, CAI, TT front wishbones, TT Subframe, TT hubs, TT FARB, TT quick rack, All vac lines deleted and SAI removed, poly dog bone, poly wishbones (spare), Decat, miltek exhaust, Pioneer headunit with reverse camera, uprated speakers, including sub, boost gauge, dynamatted doors and boot, colour coded plastics and front grille, painted wheels, tinted windows (rear 70%), RTech Remap, white line ARB, Coilovers, SFS wide TIP, Single mass Sach cluth. 

 

Now I was looking for £2k, is that asking the earth? Also, does the above put people off? or am I better stripping the easily removed parts, taking less and selling the car  and parts separately? I don't need a quick sale, but will it sell?

My personal opinion is that I stay away from modded cars because my insurance costs a bomb (plus my current insurer won't allow it) and generally I'm not a fan of visual modifications.

If I was in the market for a modded car to that spec- then £2k sounds reasonable. However modding is very personal and not everything suits everyone. You may get a quicker sale if you strip the parts and sell separate and you may realise more value.

I'd stick it up for sale at the £2k and see what happens first then make a decision if your not in a rush to sell.

The downside then would be if it doesn't sell then a month later it returns as standard for cheaper. Would it put you off?

Standard wise, mileage will put some people off they always seem to have a phobia of anything over 100k. Advertise it as is and see if you get any bites.

£2k for a 180k miles on std trim you will never get mate tbh. I sold mine with mods and got my asking price purely because the new owner wanted it as it was and knowing the car. So as mentioned £2k will be about right for the right buyer. Thinner market than std but will fetch more to the right person . std ones are now under £1k for high mileage ones these days .
