my time may have come

[darrenjoe90]

just to find out what people think but the time may have come for me to sell the one i love ( for those that dont know me i am not on about the mrs )
i think i may be due for an upgrade but i will have to see how much money i can muster.

I would like to know how much i will get for my s8. some of you have seen her over the past few years and most of you have heard about her and some of you lucky ones have driven her
i just dont know whether to sell her or keep her for longer. please give me some advise ? and most of all tell me how much she is worth ?

I assume the upgrade you're looking at is a D3? I'd stick with the D2 for a bit longer

I'm new on here so could you please post up the spec of the car with some more pics?

The upgrade i am looking at may well not happen so at the moment i can not say but if i do get it then i will be very happy with but its very expensive
