DoNT ! sell your cabriolet

well not on eViLbaY

as im sure we all do,
ive been watching the prices on ebay..
there is precious little interest in cabriolets at the moment..
thanks to our shambolic weather at the present,there are going to be some sick..or indeed happy folk around ..

I thought this was specifically for me when I read the title. Spooky. I'm on the verge of doing a swap deal…..my cabby…..wait for it……a Frontera Sport !

L.O.L

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I just got your email and replied hoping it was a swap for a tin-top!!!  

There's method in the madness. I still have my beloved tin top, the cabby needs a bit of TLC and the Mrs needs a 4x4 for travelling twice dailly up a farm track to see to her horse. I then get my Jetta back, which she's been using to cart bales of hay etc around. Now it's not all bad news is it ??

A bit controversial tonight aren't we son   :naughty:

Hi Dubpartz

If you get a Frontera, take my advice and check when it last had
the timing belt changed!.
I bought one 2 yrs ago, 50,000 mls good condition never been off
road etcc.. etc.. .
It lasted 8 months, timing belt went ( I didnt check it when I bought it)
So got a bill for ?1000,  8O  had it back 2 weeks and the big end went  8O
Sold it (unrepaired) and bought another VW (Passat).

Ime sure you know all of this anyway!

Best Regards

Dibbler  :wink:

A caddy pickup! :mrgreen:  Get more Bales in it than a frontera! then you can drop a big GTi engine in it and have some fun too!

I think one needs to make their mind up with where your car interests lie. Once you get away from needing to choose a car based on practicality and cost reasons, if its a daily driver, then there are a whole host of options open.

Land Rovers are great - a friend of mine has loads of them and she actively uses them off road too. You can have a lot of fun, especially if you also get into fitting V8s, etc. Hers has an American V8 diesel conversion, and is wonderful to drive.

Campers, splittys and bays especially (but any camper really) are a whole lot of fun, I've personally spend many weeks, months and years tinkering with them (I converted a panel van into one, and before that I had a bay window). They're also very handy for shows.

Big old American V8s can be fun too, in their own wacky way.

The other thing I got into was old Mercedes'. They are a class above VW, and driving one is an experience everyone should have at least once in their life.

But, when it comes down to it, day-to-day I'd still choose a Mk1 Golf, my enthusiasm for these is enduring and it still manages to roll up fun, character and practicality into a highly desirable package. Once both (cabby and GTI) of mine are working, I may even sell the Merc daily driver…

Maybe wrong site mate but its true , i used to sell vauxhalls a few years back and i wouldnt reccomend ANY of them , the worst three are .......3RD the Signum , 2ND the Omega and 1st was the frontera by a long way, yes these three are far worse than even the dreaded 1st vectra , just dont go anywhere near them !!!

Get the wife a Toyota Hilux :wink:
Top Gear have proven that you can't kill them

Keep the horse in the back garden,problem solved!  

Shoot the horse - Problem solved!

Eat the horse - problem solved!

Shoot the Wife

sell the horse

By another MK1 :mrgreen:

Im confused, are cabby's bad, or landrovers good?  :dontknow:  

No. Yes. IMO
