hough39 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I've recently found out my mrs is pregnant so at a crossroads what to do with my glanza, keep it, sell it or break it? it's got a really good spec onit running 313bhp at 1.3bar on a hybrid td05 set up! Since I've found out she was pregnant I've started making it baby freindly roll cage out full recaro interior in, loud exhaust off quieter 1 on etc etc u get the idea, I love my car to bits but I'm thinking about moving on to something like an Evo or supra tt something with abit more room for baby seats, prams etc! Was planning on porting and polishing and new race spec inlet to get around 350bhp but now I'm thinking for the money I would have to spend to achieve this is is worth just selling up n going for a bigger jap car?Break it would make about 7-8k on partsWouldn't sell the whole car for less than 5k which no 1 seems to wona pay for a starlet anymoreBut everyone always seems to regret selling there starlet? Don't know what to do?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Think you'll only be another statistic dude and you'll end up coming back! Providing you can afford to keep the car then do so, or even look for another car like a daily which is more child friendly if you can afford that option as well.

akyakapotter Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My girl friend is also pregnant ( congrats dude ) I will not be selling my v I will put a baby seat in the back and get a buggy that folds up to fit in the boot my bltz nurspec is staying my feeling is if they baby it's with it from day one it won't make a difference don't sell the car you love bud 95% of my mates keep telling me to sell mine it its not going to happen my car is my thing so it's staying keep it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hough39 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeh buy a cheap daily would probly be my best option n keep the v as a toy ;-) took me best part of 4-5years getting it to the spec I want n everyone always seems to come back to starlets like an addiction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Keep it mate!!! Get yourself a cheap reliable runaround... Selling your Glanza will be the worst descision after all the hard work you have out into it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I maybe interested in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I am due a little'un in sept, cars staying. It's cheap to run not that bad on insurance and tax. I won't be getting rid! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Congrats akyakapotter and hough39 I became a dad 3 months back and no need to sell the car. Simply buy another family run around. We've got 2 Corsas which we use for dailys so the Glanza isn't going anywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 as many people said buy a daily for the kid. am sure plenty of people will disagree but i wouldnt put my new born in a starlet if anything bad happened the starlet would crumble like a little tin can...

ro55ifumi Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The only way to get what you have invested would be to break it as people are not prepared to pay what it has cost to put together As said get a cheap daily John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BearFaceOfDoom Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'd stick with the starlet With all the baby costs and clothes etc, then trying to feed an evo as well haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hough39 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Old 65yr old mate of mine has now just told me he's selling his r33 gtr 500+bhp very tempted on that now too :-(Starlet = cheap tax, fairly cheap running costs, punches above its weightR33 gtr = expensive to run, insurance, 4wd for winter :-) but if ewt went wrong expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
