Moving the car becomes an issue if you sell the wheels/tyres on day one, and I have no "leave it here "space...
Advise from those who have been through this process would be most appreciated. The car has lots of under 2yr old bits tyres/brakes/ driveshaft and turbo.
What I want for the car I suspect is a lot more than people would be prepared to pay, but I would also appreciate comments valuation too. I see cars on ebay/autotrader of £300-800 then see a set of 18" Pegasus wheels of £ 800....
Cheers

If you like the car I would repair it ..
Otherwise sell it as it is for a reasonable price assuming it needs a new engine ...
