Selling a recently purchased car

Next week here.
But I suggest you follow the link in post #2. Much more there on numerous subjects.0 -
Have now sold it to We Buy Any Car. Got a few hundred pounds less than originally paid but that's the price of convienience. Did manage to find more space to park in my area but it was very llimited (about 5 spaces at most) and because I had black box insurance i couldn't just park where I felt like. Immediate family are fuming but it's a massive weight off my shoulders. Will wait until I've got a better job and somewhere bigger to live with more room to park before I do that again!0

I am the OP - not sure why I'm all of a sudden DanS1.
Not giving figures but it was a few hundred less than what I paid for it.-1 -
So - do you guys think I've done the right thing??0

Thanks. My insurance would most likely have been cancelled to due to having to park here there and everywhere nearly every night and having a black box would have meant I'd have got caught. And once your insurance is cancelled its very difficult to get insurance elsewhere. As I say it was a lovely car and the family are disappointed but I had no choice. I was stuffed either way. I was good at driving but the stress of parking knocked my confidence. That's why I had to sell it.
If I'd kept it for a few months I'd have got even less and be more stressed with it!0 -
OP has different user name to the "OP" that is replying...seems legit.0
