Just for those that are looking for an Alpine... My A610 is available.. More so now..
As some of you know, I care for my disabled mother, I have been doing this for 20 years, but more so in the last year, so saving the Government a HUGE amount of money.
We live in a council disability bungalow, where you have to be over a certain age to live there. Ever since I moved in, I have been waiting to become of this age, to be able to be added, as a joint tenant on the rent book, enabling me to have a home after my mothers’ death.
I am now at this age, and I have applied to be added to the tenancy. This was refused! (long story as to the reason, but this rant is long enough)
So when my mother dies, I will be classified as homeless…!!!
The waiting list is a good five years and I cannot be added to it, as I am not yet homeless, despite the fact that it is the council that will be forcing me out of my home. (Go figure that one out!!)
After much searching on the web and asking for help and guidance, I have uncovered that I am not the only one! There are hundreds of carers that have been put into this situation. I am lucky that I found out before my mum dies, so can now do something about it, before I am homeless.
Many never realise until it was upon them. It’s just unreal and horrific, after you have been caring for your loved one, and then find yourself on the streets, and trying to morn the loss of them as well…
So why have I posted this here you ask…??
Well I wanted you all to know why I have to sell my beloved A610. I need the money to be able to purchase a home, so that I am not on the streets upon my Mother’s death. Again, the cost of purchasing a house in the UK is way out of my reach, but I am looking at making a home in France. As at least there I can afford to buy one.
I find renting privately a total waste of money, you are just paying someone else’s mortgage. The rents are so high, it’s cheaper to buy, but getting on the ladder is out of my reach.
My A610 is well known in the club, and my website shows the story of its rebuild and my love of the car. Just look at the site and hopefully it will let any buyer know what work has been done to it. (http://www.vsantini.uk)
I am not being stupid on the price. There is the Red one on Ebay at 56K if you want madness… Obviously I need the sale for my future home, as you cannot live in a car! Not at my age!!
So my asking price is 39K BUT I am open to discussion on this… I do not need to sell it in a rush, as my mother is not terminal of going to kick the bucket tomorrow, but if I can make a start and get my new home set up before I have to face her death and all the emotional tears and clearing a house etc. then this will be one less thing to have to endure.
The one thing that really Pisses me off about all this, is that the council has just let one of these bungalows to a “Foreign” tenant of some 23 years old, and the police are there all the time. Music blaring and cars coming and going all hours of the night. A total nightmare, but yet my 20 years of paying tax and caring for not just my Mother but the community, gets me homeless. Where is the logic in that…?
I have been so depressed about this, I even felt like shooting myself or something just so I don’t have to deal with it. God help us all when we get old!
I truly felt that the A610 was going to be with me for the rest of my days, as it took me so long to get it, and I will never find another in this condition again. I am gutted, truly gutted.
I just hope that the new owner cares for this car as much as I love it.
