Would I regret sellin my VTS?
Basically im a bit skint at the min, and am payin my loan off which I got for my vts, then on top of that I have to pay insurance, petrol, tax, mot’s and anything else which goes wrong on it.
And today the guy who I bought my car of wants to buy it back of me! I paid £2300 for it and I reckon I could get 3k of him.
Financially I could do with sellin it, but I don’t know what id do without it.
If I was gona sell it I want to get a Quad, because you can get them pretty cheap!

More than likely. But if your that desperate for them noey there is no point in keeping a car tht will make you even more out of pocket

if your needing the money mate your going to have mixed feelings,money/car but the way i see it is,the car has caused you to be financially like this,its not easy selling a car you like,but if its causing you problems,it has to be done.

as McCrunk said...
why not down grade to a Furio/VTR...can still handle well...petrol is no where near as bad on them as a VTS (from what i have read...), tax is lower etc...
me personally, i get 320-350miles out of a full tank of petrol, and that includes some town driving, and casual dual carriage way driving aswell. My petrol lasts me just shot of 2 weeks....ive heard people mention they get 270 out of a full tank on a VTS....

If you really can't afford to keep it sell it, BUT you will regret selling it and will end up buying another one imo.
Everytime i have a different car, i want the saxo back... Hence still got one now!

Dont live for your car. If owning the car puts a strain on your life and stops you from enjoying yourself in other areas whats the point?
Unless driving a saxo is your life? imo if you are living for your car, sell and buy a VTR cheaper to insure, cheaper to run, cheaper to tax and fast enough.. i loved my R

I sold my VTS about a month ago and miss it too.
The sensible 1.8T golf hasnt helped much, either
