I have recently been thinking about selling mine for a MK2 Renault Sport but like Freebone am having difficulties commiting to either keeping or selling.
Due to getting older I think my tastes have changed and now desire a very low maintenace and quiet car for the commute to work and back. Although, when I do have time on a sunday or social time I really enjoy a good drive instead of a mandatory commutte.
However, I have several problems. The first being my car has always been reliable and have just got a yrs mot with no faults (so why sell?). The second is after an oil change and Reanult oil filter I now pull 3 bar @ 3k rpm and 4.5/5 bar(!) when hot and pushing it. This is a very good result indicating to me the engine is in good condition, a big risk I take when buying although newer Mk2 RS is i get a car with a more worn engine. To maintain my engine I also never drive directly from cold, also let it stand for a few mins both in the morning and at night, something I wouldnt prob do in a newer car which is probably what helps the pressure. And i know no-one would do this for my replacement. This is also a bit of a pain in the ass at night on the way home.
The other issue is my car has no renault service history as the book was lost by the previous owner and I only have a wad of invoices due to the previous owner being a mechanic and maintaing the car himself. However I still would hope to get 3k for mine and put a couple of extra k and getting an RS because i know its in good condition (91k miles, sure most of you know my car).
However if i did overcome the above issues and got a RS are they as special? You get a sense of occassion when driving the Williams and a lot of fun something and im not sure if a RS would be.
And alternativley I could make the williams even rawer and just get a cheap 2nd car for the extra cash required if i sold the Williams. But realistically I dont actually need one and not sure if i would just see this as a waste of money. Sort of thing i wouldnt know if it was right or wrong until i did it.
What do you all think. Seems there are an infinite amount of options.
