NEED ADVICE..UPDATE PAGE 3!!

[Garth]

have you found a for sale add for it??

He's probably just thinking of reasons the guy might want rid of it I reckon.

My car is getting services today and they've given me a list of faults that adds up (from VW) to nearly £1k I was almost tempted to sell it on myself with a big "it's got full VWSH" smile

[joesgti]

just spoke to the guy again, its next service is at 39.5k an is oil and filter change. 

they sell for 12k-14k on autotrader?!

Joe,
I would not be entertainging this one, I thought the whole point of selling the car was to release some capital to get a house. Swapping the motor is not going to do this for you. I'd be wary for these straight swap deals too - using a car as finance against another car can go sour.

Just my two pence worth

Yeah, just got to think about what you might then actually be trying to sell on. At least you know the history of your car and know it is not a lemon.

That's if you CAN sell it straight on. Who knows how long this guy's been trying to sell it. When I sold my Impreza, I had to go down from £12k to £8.5k to sell it as there just wasn't any interest.

Don't forget what's on autotrader is not what the cars are selling for... just what the owner wants it to sell for

stay away joe, if it sounds too good to be true.....

Yeah it was just as an example. Id stay clear. Like others have said you know the history of your car and no there will be no lash backs when you do sell it.

i was going to PM you today asking how you were and here you are outa the blue!

Unless ive missed something and youve been back for a while?? 

[Janner_Sy]

id do it if its worth the same.  evo's dont have that chav image like the impreza, and they are awesome to drive.  the mk5 chassis feels  numb in comparison.  but they are totally different cars

[skifast]

garth is spot on.i would also have thought the evo would be much harder to sell on ,much more expensive to run than a golf

[Janner_Sy]

the Evo is a specialist car designed to be the best 4 door point to point car your money can buy. 

the golf is an all rounder, it does everything well. but nmothing excellent.

totally different cars to be fair.
