The breaking of a 854 Gul??

[merc85]

Ok Let me stress, this is not a sale of parts BUT what do you guys/girls think

My extremely Good Condition Manual 854 Gul may be getting broken.

Dont Wanna do this at all BUT she fails to gauge serious interest as whole so thought id gauge the response in breaking her.

Totally MINT not one mark , 5 Titan Wheels with NEW Toyo Prox's
Extremly good Leather interior best ive seen for a long time
Gearbox 100% Perfect
Engine Sweet uses no oil or water covered approx 5k since rebuild
All electric's works inc abs windows etc etc
Door cards un marked.
All panels accept nsf wing pritty perfect

Any questions just pm

I dont want offers just view's/opinons of the above, as this thread may get deleted or moved what would you do?

She drives and looks 100% spot on

but you wont get anymore for it than a tatty old olive green one in parts, stop being ridiculous, i'll shoot you myself, what do you want for it?

[M-R-P]

its a rare thing but I'm with Frankie.
Please don't Gav.

[martybelfastt5]

mate seems extreme...tho if you want to shift it maybe a swap plus cash with a car you could break with some mods ect....to break a gul seems wrong think this is the first time ive noticed its had a rebiuld? not sure if your other ads stated this,,maybe a more detailed ad showing all the cars good points and bad like listed here take it somwhere for some fancy photos

[Santa]

Also a rare sight, I also agree with Frankie

Rent yourself a garage and put the car in it.
In time the value of this car will go up and it will be a classic.
There are only 15-28 T5R`s still on the road in 2012.

Dont do it mate, If I had the money I would have it, but with a upcoming wedding etc.. I just cant afford it

The car has NO mods, Not 1. Engine rebuild i learnt of through a very kind previous owner who saw my ebay add, and kindly contacted my saying what he had done 5years ago.

Brand new suspension and engine rebuild which i can see by the BLOCK its as new. But i've stupidly lost the email thats why i havent mentiond it before.

Also she had new brakes alround which i have bills for, and bills for rear main etc etc and pcv totaling £1,500.

I dont want offer's just a geunine expresion of what i should do with a car like this. I forget i have it half of the time, i cant use it due to having so many kidds so my estate gets to do all the work.

Trust ME i would keep this car if i could, but it seems the market dictates what happens to cars like this so i reckon it will get broke.

what if i could MAYBE get a swap with a Gull estate, if you want an estate? Its an Auto

let me know if you do and i will ask. Oh, and i wouldnt break it, you wont get a grand in parts i doubt (if its all standard)

Cheers

After my last auto i dont want another, nor do i want to convert one. cant be arsed really and havent got the time either.

As for 1K i broke my previous 855 t5 auto i got £1,500 easy, And that was Red with hardly any mods, all she had mod wise was 17" wheels.

Please dont read this wrong, i know you break Volvo's all day long, i'm just going on my previous experiance.

I must stress although you read it all the time this Car is Far to good to "break", but it's sitting somewhere it will have to be moved from soon and a cant be arsed with storage much longer.

[volvo]

hmmm....in that case, breaking might be your only option but it would be a sad day.....

unless someone comes in and buys it.....heres hoping they do....if you cant store it much longer, you will be running out of options soon enough

hope you get something sorted and as i say, i will ask around for intrest in it

Didnt say i cant store it, just said it's got to be moved again soon. its just hassle.

[daza-b]

its worst than breaking an 855 t5 lol

[dalhousie2008]

Sent you a pm buddy, but i can fully understand where you are coming from. The car i sold to ayden would have broke for over £2000 easily. In fact i had reservations upto £1500 no probs but it was a bit modified.

[V70 Graham]

There must be some way to keep this car in 1 piece, would be a real shame, If I had the money I'd snap it up.

[M-R-P]

group buy?
the VPC gul - for displays?

just a thought.

.....not the worst idea you've ever had

Spray it silver, you won't feel guilty breaking it then. lol

You mean he wouldn't feel gul-ty

If there is no market for these cars, then there should be nothing wrong with Breaking it, it seems that no one wants to spend money in these cars, but then we pay out or all the bits, sometimes the logic doesn't make sense.
If Emlyn struggled to get £500 for his then there really isn't a market out there and you have to take what is there.

I think there is 3-4 cars in the adverts at the moment that haven't been sold
I do wonder if actually breaking these cars will ever put the prices back up, or will these gradually disappear into oblivion..??
