Are almost all Modified Cars for sale?

    Just wondering why almost every modified car (in dublin anyway) seems to be for sale? And not just the normal A4 page stuck in the window. It's always a professional signwriting job, or something that someone took a bit of time over.

    There's many many reasons for the professional signwriting job.
    Suffice to say, the cars are not always for sale.


    Not really going further into it for whoever may be reading.

    its to organise races plain and simple. Other people with moded cars ring up the number and organise a race. Nothing to do with selling the car

    Its all about the "other" type of cruising,i.e you phone the number and arrange a man on man hook up!

    I think clio v6 is referring to the often spun myth that its a form of finding a race,thats BS though.

    Its in reality a way for them to receive praise and feel better about themselves....

    "hear bud seen yisser number on yisser civic so i did,shes rapid bud what have yisser done to her,ill give yous 5 grand in anyways for her!"

    I can imagine some of the texts!
    But why put the "for sale" bit on? Just simply put their phone number?

    A little too obvious that it isn't in fact for sale?

    Why pretend it is? I mean if youe phone number is on your car people might think "ohhhh, he's up to no good" and the cops will haress you, but as long as you have the For Sale bit, everything is ok?

    I have to agree with tossy i dont think its to do with racing at all, most of the cars you see it in aren't even capable of reaching 100mph anyway!

    I think its just a case of people getting cars modding them in the looks department and then getting bored and realising they have a crap car and wanting to sell it in

    Funnily enough, that's the most realistic sounding answer! Good idea actually!

    Most of the lads I know with modified cars seem to change cars more often than their underwear. I think it's a side-effect of having an interest in cars that no matter what you own, as soon as something new and shiny goes past you're just thinking : WANT! I'm currently selling mine because I'm bored with it. I have had it almost six years though...

    Thats one of the main reasons alright and the current times too, a lot of people I know with modified cars are also selling because they have either lost their job and are going off to Australia or they just can't afford to run them.
