Exactly! You will never get your money's worth out of an extension. If it costs you 20k to build your house price will not go up by 20k. House prices are just about to go back up if they haven't already so now is the time to move to a bigger place. Think of all the dust, noise, mess and hassle you will have building an extension. Sell the wife so you can fund the car and you will then have more space in your existing house therefore not need an extension, saving you cash and you will also then have more wardrobe space! Everyone's a winner. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

But not to the extent that laying out £10K on a good Sport Evo in 2004 would have. 300% return plus 5 years of enjoyment. These are example figures - I don't know Gary's and wouldn't post if I did, but I "sold" my cecotto for £7500 in 2004 and what a tit I feel now. You know my view, Gary, get it sold while it's at the top of the market - buy a Ferrari and scale down the extension. Sell. Once you've decided to do it, it'll niggle away at you. Making the decision is the most difficult bit. ------------- 1981 E23 735i 1989 E30 325i Motorsport Cabrio 1989 E24 635CSi Motorsport Edition http://www.bavarianretro.com" rel="nofollow - Bavarian Retro Cars |

I agree. I used to get the itch for a change then throw money at modifications, still ended up selling in the end and never got anywhere near the money back I'd spent on new wheels, lowering kits etc. Once you've grown disenchanted with a car and catch yourself thinking about changing it's time to move on.

Christ its only a car. If you can get what you are asking for it, you should snap their arm off! Granted it is a lovely example but it is only a car, a decent roof over your heads is more important.

Its still just a car at the end of the day. Can you really see prices heading much further north than 35k? For me, no car wouldnt get a look in over family stuff. As Gary says an extension to the house with enough left over for a nice toy would be my way too. E28 M5 would be my choice. ------------- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/coupe_king/IMG_1101-1.jpg - My Car - Click Here

Gary...
Look at this way. You're in an enviable position to have owned like someone earlier mentioned motoring heritage. Not many can say they have or will.... I'll stick a limb out and say that your car will be worth more in few years, as there isn't many black SE's kicking about. Rarity, attracts preminum prices. However, speculation isn't the issue right now, prioritisng is. If the extension is required, then do what needs to be. My 2p worth

All the best with the sale Gary. If that value is realistic, I'd be inclined to do the same, pay for the extension and buy an Alpina B10 BiTurbo. Similar LHD looks, rarity and pace but far less cash tied up. And they could be worth £30k in five years time -------------

and money in but your car is in a very unique group in that its appreciated in value, a lot. Use the dough for what's needed now, you'll miss it but it will fade...I'm speaking from experience!
