Yup, you heard me correctly, I might have to sell the mx6.
Work has dropped off over the last week or so and I just cant afford to keep it unless it picks up quickly. Its an asset I have money tied up in that would have to be sacrificed. Paul cant afford to take it on right now otherwise he would as he's put a lot of work into it, but the time isnt right.
Want to try and gauge some interest as to what its worth, so feel free to reply. I've put it in the main section rather than it getting lost in the for sale section for now.

Now i'm not going to flower it up and make out that the car is perfect coz it isnt. The main thing that needs doing is the drivers rear 1/4 needs painting as it doesnt match the rest of the car. I have 3/4 of a litre of paint here for it, it just needs doing. Theres also a bit of laquer peel near the rear spoiler, a scuff on the front bumper and various little niggles (front bumper could do with a makeover).
I'm also not going to make out that the car is driven like a vicar on a milkfloat. I enjoy this car, but I dont hammer it, too much work has gone it to be driving it like a lunatic, but I dont hang about either. Having said that, the dyno chart proves the engine has been well cared for. I even have the pics of when the cam covers were off and its golden in there.
The wheels could use a little TLC as the fronts have some kerb marks but overall the wheels and tyres are good, plus I have a pair of nearly new Continental 17" tyres as spares.
Despite servicing the brakes nearly 3 times they still squeek so I think new anti rattle clips are needed.
The suspension came off Gerrys car and is basically lowering springs on standard shocks but this makes the rebound on the car a tad excessive. Its not bad, but it takes a bit of getting used to and isnt a pro set-up. TBH, it makes the car lowered but not a brutally hard ride.
The engine is strong, doesnt smoke and is making good power for its age/mileage. Its been serviced since I got it and is getting a complete cambelt kit, new tensioner and water pump tonight (7th Sept).

More pics available on request (trust me I have hundreds!)
Price wise, I'm gonna put a guideline price of £1300 ono on it as this is what I think its worth, based on the fact its had £300+ spent on it since Friday. I dont want to break it as getting the money in dribs and drabs wont help me and I wouldnt have the heart to.
If anyone is interested let me know. You're welcome to come and view it, drive it etc etc.
