Does this snow mean my tintop is worth more

During the petrol increase this looked like it was worthless.

Now I'm glad Ive still got it, and it's fitted with Subaru's VDC.

Yup

It'll be worth more for exactly as long as the snow lasts. Then when you have to tax it or put fuel in it, it'll be back down to it's previous value!

by the time you get to selling it the snow will have gone, use it as a donor for a 7

Inc the 4wd system? That would be one cool seven

I've been driving my donor Sierra around today.
It's been great not having to worry if I bend it in all this snow...

Thinking of giving it to my wife to drive,
She loves bending cars.....
Could be cheaper in the long run..

Quick search on Ebay and found this one

linky

Very simular to mine but it's manual.

Just make sure every thing works
Expensive like most newish cars to repair.
Although Subaru's like most Jap cars are genreally reliable.

How do you drive a donor vehicle when you've just put your 7 on the road.... couldn't of been much of a donor lol
