Selling Astina, Buying SX4

[project.r.racing]

Hi all,

So some of you are aware that Melissa my partner is having a baby mid October. So I'm growing up and selling the Astina for a more sensible and practical family car. I'm really leaning towards at the Sukuzi SX4. I know it's a little boring, but hey, that's life.

Pics below...







It's safe and has a 4WD system.

The 4wd system handles all surfaces well.

Handles water well.

Great window tint to protect our baby's eyes.

Can take it for nice drives through the mountains.

But still able to have some fun it it, although only a little as it is underpowered.

So what do you guys think? I know I'm selling out and the dreams of all car fans, but life moves on.

i think get some lower rate springs for your astina so the baby doesnt wake up. also if u want the baby seat retainer bolt for the hatch i got one, it came with my car, dont know if it comes with all of them but just puting it out there :)

I think most have missed the joke. I was just taking the p!ss.
I wouldn't dream of selling the Astina, but one day I will.
Maybe I can family up the Astina a little though.

I thought it was a joke...but then when i saw your Swaybar thread i thought you must be serious!

[Putonyourshoes]

lol i wasnt sure of it.. but yeah hahaha pretty sure you got us all considering we were fighting over car parts lol

[project.r.racing]

haha true, i had 3 offers on my coilovers in the past few days.
sorry to all for the confusion.

[RedLineResident]

thats cool man.

i was shocked but stranger things have happened.

i got offered $7.5k on mine 3 weeks ago out of the blue. I almost thought about it too. So yeah, i guess you never know ay.

[project.r.racing]

geez if someone offered me $7.5K for mine, it would be sold now!

[RedLineResident]

i thought about it i can tell ya.

230,000kms - original engine... yeah the thought crossed my mind.

especially as its my 2nd car it was very tempting, but i just couldn't i had just washed and waxed it and it looked too good to let go. :D
