To sell or not to sell

Am giving serious thought as to whether I should be looking to sell my car. Because of personal circumstances, I have not used it at all this year and only very seldom last summer. As many in the Club will know, it is a late model standard X1/9 in excellent original condition, still with less than 180000 on the clock.
I would be sad to part with it but am also thinking it's a waste just to keep it in storage. Any thoughts or advice from other members would be welcome before I make any decision.

Sorry, should say 18000 miles!

Will you regret it? Serious question….

Hmm..dilemma! Having recently bought one after missing one I sold years ago the X19 bug stays with you! So In your position perhaps edge your bets..
1. Advertise to see if sells
2. If dont get what you want for it keep in storage as investment.
3. My 24yr son loves mine and so will prob leave for him after my time up so if you have younger ones that like it, leave it for them as inheritance!
Hope this helps a bit, but prob doesn't!

Thanks Garry, very helpful. I will give some thought to a price, although this is hard to estimate.
We do have a younger family member who loves the car but he is only 12 so could obviously change his mind!
Going with my head rather than my heart, I would probably prefer to see the car used properly by another enthusiast rather than just being put in storage.

Glad it helped. Have sent you a pm!

Hi Ian,
I understand your predicament and like you, find that over the last couple of years I haven't used mine as much as I would have liked, and due to circumstances I have also considered whether it's time to move it on?
However, I came to the conclusion that it doesn't owe me anything and the times I have driven it have given me great pleasure.
There is nothing like that journey where there is a clear road, roof off and you can push the car abit.

I think what I'm trying to say is don't rush into anything if you don't need to. Your car is a beauty
Finally, if you need to chat, give me a call.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy
Thanks for your sound advice!
Following Garry's comments too, I have more or less decided to hang on to my car, unless someone particularly wanted it and made me an exceptional offer.
As you say, it is a pretty unique example and I wouldn't want it to go to anyone but a true enthusiast. I will just have to start using it more which is not really a hardship!

Hi. Sounds good choice! Hey a white one gone on for sale today on Classic car website. Just resprayed, 42000 miles, asking 7.5k.ono. Just mentioned as a price guide!

Hi Ian, as to whether or not to sell, I made the decision a few weeks ago as we weren't using the car as much as we used to, and I thought it would be nice to go to a club member who would appreciate it. The problem was what is the car worth? The prices on the web vary enormously and I decided to ask £8000 as my car is in pretty good condition I think. However, even though I have had lots of views on here and Gumtree, the only interest has been from a person in Australia.... which I think is a spam!
Obviously, this is a bad time to be selling a csr which will just be a toy for someone, so maybe I'll keep the car for a while yet and try again next year. I suppose that the chances are that it won't depreciate in that time?

Thanks Peter. I'll definitely hang on to mine for a bit longer unless someone who really wants it comes forward.

Hi Ian
Think you and Peter are correct. Nothing appears to be selling at the mo what with petrol and cost of living rises plus possibly another heating bill whammy due October.
Get out and enjoy it!!
