State of the SB

I had my stitches taken out today. I am stitch free. I also did karate and I was rubbish because I haven't done proper training for weeks. But the main issue at the minute is that I have to sell the car. And I need to ask your advice about that.

For various reasons I owe my dad £640, and he needs it back ASAP (within the next two weeks). To obtain that money, I can sell Kaligula (I can cycle to work, and it will be fine to be carless). Kaligula's tax and MOT have run out. If I MOT and tax him I will PROBABLY get much more money for him, but I can't afford to do that. So do I borrow more money and then gamble that I will get £640 + whatever it costs to tax and MOT the car, or do I just stick it on eBay untaxed and untested?

Tell me, oh internet. Give me your wisdom.

You can use the old AQA trick and check completed listings on eBay Motors for accurate and current wholesale prices. You may also be able to gauge the price difference between 'with MOT & tax' and 'without' that way. Private sale is probably an extra £100-200 over that, depending on the local market.

It's a Ford Ka, yeah? I'm guessing there are quite a few out there in eBay land.

Hope that helps. :-/
