Sell or break?

[MR2 Rich]

There's nothing wrong with the cars you break, I'd understand if they were damaged or broken. Do you actually enjoy the cars before you break them or is it all business?

[jasongtr]

i enjoy them but get bored, and far be it from explaining myself but why should i sell a car that i buy for lets say £2k for £2k when i can break it for more?

and lets not forget the cars i break help keep others on the road, but i guess you have never bought any used parts for your car

[MR2 Rich]

Get bored or keep them whole long enough to avoid being classed as a trader?

[jasongtr]

what are you the imoc police? - i dont sell hardly any parts on here for that pathetic attitude.

whats exactly is your problem

[mr2mk2dotcom]

Another way of looking it is for every one that you break keeps some others going on the cheap. I'm still undecided what to do though.

[MR2 Rich]

I have no problem, I've got 2 of them so I'm happy.

[jasongtr]

ill say this once more as im a little tired of explaining it.


I used to break lots of rev3 NA's, they were always offered for sale either here or ebay, so in a place where anyone else can buy them - nobody else did, so i pay for them with my own money and as such i can do what i want with them.

The only 2x rev3 turbos i have bought ive broken, the 1st one i bought for £2k and spent £2k on it - does that sound like someone who bought it to break it, i even spent money having the geometry and corner weights done - kept it for 3 weeks after that, broke it. The next rev3 turbo i kept for 2 months and its being broken now, whatever pulls me back to mr2s isnt strong enough to make me keep them. Will i buy another, most definitely, will i break it - again most definitely.

I have also bought and broken 2x mk4 R32's and they cost me around £7k each, i dont get attached to cars but that does not mean i dont like them.

Its my money ill spend it on what i want and break what ever car i like - end of.

Sorry to the OP as this seems to have gone off track, but if you like a car so much dont sell it as the next owner might end up breaking it. If you could sell a car for 2 or 3 times what its worth you would do it even if it means selling it piece by piece

[jasongtr]

I have no problem, I've got 2 of them so I'm happy.

one of which you are trying to sell or break

[MR2 Rich]

I tried for weeks to sell it whole but nobody wanted it, that's a lot different to buying decent Mr2's just to break.

[jasongtr]

my money my choice, i tell you what, the next time im going to buy a rev3 turbo that ill drive around for a bit until i get bored again and eventually break, ill let you know 1st so you can save it from the scrapyard. Then you can do what you like with it.

[MR2 Rich]

Can't believe you've got so worked up about this.

[jasongtr]

equally i cant believe you care to comment full stop about me breaking cars, im a bit bored of the numpty comments about how a car is too good to break.

No car is too good to break when its worth more in parts, getting precious over someone else's near 20 year old 2 grand car is a bit pathetic really

[MR2 Rich]

I was playing with you and you bit...

[jasongtr]

of course you were, and if by some amazing thing you were, maybe you need to have more than you love of cars to amuse you

[MR2 Rich]

Got plenty of things to amuse me.

Night Jason hope to have another chat tomorrow.

[jasongtr]

cant wait for more dribble

[MR2 Rich]

Think you meant drivel...

[TheBaker]

They'll be none left when Jason's finished, sell it and let someone else have some fun with it.

This.

Agree with MR2_Rich throughout this thread.

If there's someone willing to buy it first give them a chance, these cars aren't being made anymore.

Don't need anymore good 2's being dismantled for monetary gain, don't understand why people can't just take a loss and let these cars live.

+2

If the shell is rotten then I get scrapping it and recyclying the parts to keep others alive, but turning perfectly decent MR2's into scrap as a matter of course is a real shame...as enthusiasts for the marque we should be trying to save not irradicate them

[jasongtr]

then you should all club together and buy them to save them, my 1st rev3 turbo was up for sale here for quite a while and nobody bought it - quite funny how you are all getting precious over 20 year old toyotas.

Watch out as im sure ill buy another rev3 turbo to break sometime after i have driven it around for a few months
