Sell my LHD W210 ESTATE CDI220 or bring back to UK

[cellarmerc]

Hi , I don't know if I should sell my white W210 cdi 220 lhd in Spain or bring it back it back with me to UK/N.Ireland if I do return later this month. I guess I might get 3500euro-4500euro in Spain but its also difficult to sell anything here right now. A trader offered me 3k euro but he will sell it for 5500k . It's got a perfect cloth interior, no rust,fsh, but need to paint bumbers & front wings for scratchs & remove door dents for the 2nd time . I actually have got used to it , its a 6 speed and feels quite quick for its size. (maybe I have forgotten what quick is) but I know I can pick up a rhd in UK for so little in comparison with European prices . You can buy so much for your pounds in rhd with no dents ! Sickening for lhd buyers.

Would I even get that much in UK for it , tidied before sale .

ps. I am also a bit worried that if I change my mind and want to return to Spain in less than a year I may be wiser keep it and drive it in the UK selling it later.

cheers

Sell it there, a left hand drive, manual?, imported W210 is going to be worth peanuts here.

Or just store it somewhere dry if you think you'll return

There is a market for second hand LHD cars here and they do seem to sell, not sure if you would get the same money or not.
Why not just bring it back to the UK and keep it?,having the steering wheel on the wrong side isn't that bad.

Why want to come back to UK from Spain??
Stay, enjoy sun and relax

Loads of hassle for Brits to buy Spanish reg. cars and get them changed to a British registration. A British buyer has to have a Spanish fiscal Nr. etc.

French cars are similar; not quite as bad I believe

Didn't think it would be complicated but I must phone them and find out . I would like to stay in Valencia but I cannot earn a living here and its so difficult to make this decision to quit and return . I am too young to retire and need to earn money .
