I NEARLY SOLD my Abarth! Why?

I needed to make my mind up with some thoughts I had about my Abarth and my mind was made, I WAS going to sell the car...
I explain what on Earth I was thinking and some future plans for the car!

I’m sooooo glad you’re not getting rid of the Abarth… I love watching your Abarth videos!!

[@Driven247]

Thanks Angie, Abarth hasn’t been on the channel recently really and this is partly why, but now I’ve made my decision, more Abarth videos to come, yay!

[@howell_124spider]

Glad your keeping the Abarth, plus I think as you have k-tec on your side it produces some good content for your channel. I don't use my Abarth 124 a lot but when I do get in it I get a proper buzz as it feels great. Plus going to Abarth group shows and convoys are just so much fun.

[@Driven247]

@@howell_124spider thanks. I loved my 124 but they were so rare at the time and still are really! Yeah, sometimes having a car which you don’t use much, means a lot when you do use it, it’s a nice treat and obviously Abarth meets and convoys are great! Thanks for watching.

Wise choice Amber. A cheap under £11 easy mod you could do,plus recording the process for your channel content, is a rear wiper delete, smoothies the rear end off nicely.

I've owned my 68 reg abarth 595 trofeo (blue also with red details) now approx 2 1/4 years and it would be lucky if it's done 1500 miles in that time. (It's only done 9350 miles from new) Some months I never use it at all but it's wierd I then have thoughts like you and I want to sell it but then I drive it and I then decide i don't want to So just because you haven't used it don't think it's time to sell as inevitably when you do you'll wish you hadn't

[@Driven247]

@@user-ny4fl7st3r ah, you have had the same thoughts as me. Yeah I just see it sitting there and think I’d rather have the money, then I drive it and I don’t want it to go, plus, if I got rid, I’d probably want another one anyways! Yours sounds a nice Abarth, colour combo sounds cool also. On the plus side, keeping miles of any car is sometimes a good thing… Thanks for watching, more Abarth videos to come shortly!

It’s your car Amber! If you want to sell it then go ahead! Don’t keep it because KTEC want you to! Having said that,it’s a lovely wee car that will attract more channel views the more you do to it!! Don’t forget though it is YOUR car👍

[@Driven247]

K-Tec we’re just asking if I defiantly wanted to leave my B.A role and that made me think about everything related to this car really, they didn’t say too much but enough to make me think! Thanks James.

[@SChapps]

Let’s be honest the Ktec deal isn’t worth anything unless they’re giving you a load of parts for free to modify it. Just enjoy the car and make videos showing your ownership, take it on some roadtrips

My nephew worked as a salesman at a Subaru & Fiat dealership & i'm sure he'd have sold a few Abarths, he no longer works at a dealership as he was poached by Subaru U.K direct as a field sales to get dealers to sell more of their cars, he has a brand new Subaru every year & no running costs!

[@chrisoncars4879]

Noooo! You can't sell the Abarth! I think you'd regret it, you're well into the Abarth scene and you're getting known for them again, definitely keep it. I get bored quickly with cars too, but I usually think to myself - would I want to buy this car at the money I'd be able to sell it for? If the answer is yes, then it should be kept for longer.

[@Driven247]

Same, I would defo regret it, like I have the other 4 times I got rid of my other Abarth’s lol! Thanks for your words Chris I do wanna be well known in the Abarth world, that’s the goal if I’m honest, would be nice!

[@chrisoncars4879]

@@Driven247 sounds as though you've made the right decision to keep it. Maybe experiencing some more cheaper cars (like the Proton, I'm enjoying that content too) to keep your interests going.

@@chrisoncars4879 yeah I do always think having a couple of cars does me good lol!

[@Pauljn67]

Assuming its on finance of some sort, you are going to lose thousands paying the balance off because you paid retail money for something you are going to sell at trade or private money. It was always highly risky having an expensive car when you get bored with cars as quickly as you do. If you do sell, keep to the cheapies.

Oh amber please don't base your cars you own on just views numbers on the channel , there's so much more to it than that! You love the brand and the bad Abarth meets along with your own driven24/7, the money on the proton you should have put into the Abarth be it paying a chunk off or further mods. K-tec will be able to help you transform this car massively if you stick with it I'm sure. We buy any car would have given you next to nothing for your car as well. 🫣

[@Driven247]

@@Jamie7ee thanks for the words, your right with the views thing for sure. I tend to post videos I wanna make and if they do well, so be it, but gotta keep the car for me as you say too! Enjoy tinkering with the Proton, but unsure of its future as of yet. Thanks for the words.
