Havnt got any pics to throw up BUT, I own 1 blueprint xr6 st in auto 220xxxkm
And I am picking up a black xr6 st in manual with 210xxxkm... As much as I love the blueprint, it's auto.... Paint has faded badly and diff is on its way out. Payed good money for it but it's gonna need a few $$$$ to get her in nice shape. Now, the black st, it's manual! Good condition for its age, doesn't require any repairs. Still looks good but it's not blueprint! Am I starting to get abit ****? Now the question. Should I keep both cars? I'm going to keep the black st for a while... Should I hold onto the blue st, or should I sell up as is and hope to god I find one in blueprint manual in years to come? Rare cars with only 125 made.... On the plus side if I do sell the blue one, the money will be well used to go towards a house

I would say on face value to keep both because of the rarity of ST's but considering you want to buy a house maybe sell the blue one. Though the only thing is down the track, you'll end up paying a bit more for a manual ST depending when your in the market to buy another one. If your fine with that go for it. Good luck!
cheer's, Maka

Well you do have an ST either way. I know what you mean about colours, I loved the Monsoon Blue AUII I had but the colour was on the way out. Unless you mothball the Blue print and wait till u have $$$ to send on it (and sounds like you will need $$$) I'd sell it. You can swap out what ever into your Black ST and end up with the 'best' parts car. My misses would ummm ..."advise' me to sell one for sure.
UK It is always hard to let go of a ride that has become more than just a car to you.
