    855 t5 manual keep or move on?

    Hi what do you guys think I've got an 855 t5 in manual with genuine miles reading 107000 sporting an 850r front bumper and v70r comet wheels and front disc conversion and Rica mapped ecu she starts and runs perfect but she is pretty rough around the edges needing wings and rear bumper mounts and various other things
    She has been off the road a few months now and have since bought a new car but I just don't want to let her go as she is probably one of the lowest miles t5s out there and now becoming a bit of a rare beast so do I put some cash into her and save her or listen to the wife and move her on ?

    Save it. Your hardly going to lose money in it in the long run.
    854 T5 - The new project.

    850 tdi - sorely missed.

    I've got a similar issue, I don't need to sell a car but want to buy more, it's the space that's the issue.

    I'm going to in future use the sonic and the s60r on alternate years.

    Ironically I've just found a 1994 t5 manual on genuine 103k which id also like to keep.

    Thanks for your opinions lads
    And as it's not costing me anything sitting on my drive I'm thinking I will just keep her for a while and when the light nights come give her a little tlc maybe some upgrades��
