Why??

The old story trying to buy a house need a deposit

And I didn't realise how long and how much it would cost to build it I am in well over 25k and it would be nice to have some money in the bank again instead of spending it all on the mini it is taxed and motd on the road I want 15k for it

Have you got it advertised anywhere yet? The killer wi building anything is you want the best of everything and this comes at a price . Sad to say you will never get your money back. They are built to be enjoyed and not for financial gain.You have my best wishes wi the sale fae somebody who has tried tae sell a z cars kit .

Yeah I know what you mean about the financial side of things I am torn on whether to sell it or not I haven't advertised it yet I was just seeing if I got any interest in it

Spoke to Chris Allanson regarding the sale of my own kit and his advice was to hang on till z-cars get up and running again.He reckons that this will hopefully stabilise prices.It's heartbreaking shelling out all that cash then end up almost giving the car away.My advice is keep it if you can.Good luck whatever you decide.

I think I am going to run it for a year I think I was making a hasty decision to sell it had a good think about it and it seems a shame to spend 3 years building the car and to just get rid I have hopefully got a magazine shoot coming up in the mini mag will see how that goes

Its a long hard road that requires patience. I speak from experience, my zcar has spent more time off the road and in workshops than it has at home since last summer. Also would be silly to spend £25k and try and sell for £15k - such a loss!

[bengreen55]

I know what you mean it would be a big loss but if the right person comes along with a handful of cash I would seriously consider letting it go.
