V 8 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 As my circumstances will be dramatically changing at the end of next year, I am offering my car for sale. I intend to continue to compete in the car next year, and as such, it will need to be sold quickly at the end of next season in order to comply with the plans I have made. At this point in time I am looking to gauge interest with a view to a definite commitment to buy at the end of next season. This could take the form of a cash deposit to secure the deal with a commitment to buy next year or a shared drive during the season, with a 50% payment upfront, the balance paid at season end.
