I just can't do it!!!!!!!!!!
Mr Whippy - 21/3/12 at 08:43 AM

I can't

Been trying to sell the Bluebird but just keep deleting the adverts before anyone has had time to even read them!!

I panic and then think OMG NO!! I'm making a mistake and will regret it, delete delete!!

Surely it's stupid to sell a car like? this even though I certainly have no use for it right now, at all and could do with the money for the house. No one I know regards it as a good idea to sell and are suprised I'd even consider doing so.

50k miles, fsh, solid as a rock...what the hell am I thinking!?!?

Never thought it would be so hard to let go

hide it in a shed. I still miss my mk1 Golf GTi that I sold because it was taking up space.

Advertise it for a price that you could not possibly KEEP it at.

Retrorides would be a good place to sell should you decide to.

It's awesome


tomgregory2000 - 21/3/12 at 09:21 AM

whats with the wheels though


rost - 21/3/12 at 09:26 AM

I'll have it!

What have you done to that beautiful car, I remember when it had style and sophistaction.



I say keep it.

Yeah keep it, looks in fantastic condition.

Either that or price it as such... I'd be tempted to ask for £3k+ if it runs as good as it looks

Here's the only other one I've found

Best suggestion EVER.
Dont ever take it out - EVER.

yeah the above mods were just a bit of fun that those with zero sence of humour and big ego's took too seriously

totally back too standard now, even the orginal steel wheels with trims are back on

Just a nice clean example of normal 90's british built/jap car

Funny isn't it - I just can't appreciate that car - I'd sell it in a split second, but when you've put time and effort into something that last thing you want to do is flog it to an unknown home who may abuse it. Can't imagine it's nice to drive though, which would seal the deal for me.

You wont get anything like what it's worth to you as the market for Nissan Bluebirds (even mint ones) must be rather limited to say the least (nostalgic asian mini cab drivers?!?) - so I'd say you'll almost certainly end up regretting selling it.

I had one while I was at University for the 2nd time - it was free (inherited from my grandfather) and it never broke down - those are really the only memories I have of it, they're certainly not an overlooked gem...... but we all know how much you love it!

Make a nice minicab........I'll get my coat

That's actually why I bought one... Up the road from where I worked about 11 years ago was a company called Rainbow Taxi's, their entire fleet were all Bluebirds and at the time I was looking for a cheap car I could rely on, so I thought well they'd not use a crap car for their fleet so I got one (this is my second one, first one I over 80k on it, cost me all of £250! and not once did it fail an MOT or brake down) so I got another again never failed me

Put it up for sale here

sounds too good to sell.

My dad had one the same age about 11 years ago as a tempery car after someone wrote his car off and he reckons that he'd still have it now had he not thought he needed a new car back then. He reckons it was far better than any of the brand new cars he's had since.

Keep it. Noone else will pay what it's worth to you.

I love japanese cars, and especially retro ones.

But even I wouldn't keep one of these, sorry. If it was a RWD model, fair enough, but I don't see many plus points on this one other than it being bomb proof, but there are other reliable alternatives which are probably a tad more exciting?

Put it up for an inflated price, you never know someone might bite! Then you won't feel bad and will have enough money for a replacement
