How often do you guys think about selling your cars for something else?

[GOULET]

Personally, it enters my mind every now and then. Recently, Ive been thinking about getting an sc300. My problem is I like too many cars. Don't get me wrong I love my 240, I guess too much since Ive never really taken the giant leap of putting it up for sale, except one time. Sometimes I try to convince myself into taking out a loan for something out of my budget but the idea gets trashed way too fast when I think about insurance, payments, and all the other crap I want to do with my money.

[Cutlass372]

I think about selling my 72 cutlass every once in a while. I don't really drive it very much anymore (can't remember the last time actually..) and it just kinda sits around. I guess my tastes just have changed and now that I have this 240z, its all that I can think about. I like the cutlass going straight, but anything other then that is awful. I wanna make this 240z into a track/daily so I have something that handles like crazy as well as the rest of the good stuff.

[eurotrashed]

I think about it daily

Another car I cant get outta my head. I still want a Z so bad, that was the main reason I put up the 240sx for sale last time lol.

[Cutlass372]

Lol, they are SO much fun, but the 240sx is too. Its kinda just a preferance, do you prefer the new car feel or something that makes you drive it? Even stock they are fun to drive, I can't wait to get some sort of suspension on it and some better wheels/tires. I think i'll be keeping the L24 for awhile, but at some point I would like to swap in an L28ET from the 280zx turbo.

[The Captain]

Constantly. I'm always looking for my next car.

[Supraru]

Never. My dad thought when I bought the car I'd get rid of it in a few years. Almost 8 years later still have it and will never part with it. Plus were only around 12k made so why buy something not as rare.

[Ender81]

With previous cars I would think about it alot. With the wrx though I can say only a couple times in the 2 1/2 years since I bought it. I was thinking about trading it in when I found out my trans was going to go at some point. At that time I was thinking of an EVO. Then back in Feb I almost traded it in on a BMW 135 but I was having second thoughts when my tranny did die. I dropped in enough money then that now I just save up for a new engine block and parts because I decided to keep it for as long as I can.

Come on, you know you want one.. (dont mind the ****ty paint.. needs a little body work too.

[SovXietday]

The thought, in all honesty, has never passed my mind in reguards to the Civic. 3 year long relationship and the only thing I want to do with it is make it faster. I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

[ItsStetch]

all the time, its just i am always changing my mind with which car I would like, now I am car-less I just need a car period.

[TurboTagTeam]

I'v been thinking about getting rid of the 240 lately. I'm getting tired of cars.

[TROLL]

weekly, but only for the daily driver which i'd love to swap out for something super economical on gas.
the toys... nah. i've said i'd sell the subie if someone was really interested in paying a lot for it, but i doubt that will happen. otherwise, i'm good. sick of cars too but i'm hoping to be somewhat home free soon enough then i can just chill and enjoy what i've got without spending too much time wrenching.

[MuddyREX]

I've never thought of selling my car until recently. She's got 130K, and I'm ready for a change.

[VTeg85]

All the time, love my Teg but after 3 FWD cars (Civ Hatch, MX-6, Teg) Im bored to tears. It's especially tough with so many clean Evos and WRXs around, nevermind the RX-7s that I see creeping around during the summer. It's enough to drive a man crazy!

[PhillySVT]

every 9 months....it's a sickness!

[Cardriverx]

not really, I just wanna make my car faster and faster. Not to mention selling my car would be a hugely bad finacial move, i would get liek half what I put into it haha.

[05suby]

i think about it if i could find an sti and still have the same monthly payments lol.

[turbo4g63]

Pretty much every day. I've had my car for 4 1/2 years and i'm just getting tired of it. I'm at the point now where i just want something economical and easy to drive. I'm almost positive my next car will be an acura TL automatic. I drive stick everyday at work and i'm pretty much sick of it and ready for something different

[Buster]

i think about it if i could find an sti and still have the same monthly payments lol.


Same here, Its not that I dont like my car because I love my car but if I'm going to spend the money to beef up the transmission I would rather just get an STi.

[TGilb2007]

All the time. But, since I cannot afford another car, im stuck with what I have,.

[DocEwww]

Selling the TA or GTO and making a downpayment on a 06' zo6 is so tempting.

[chansigril]

i think about trading in or selling the focus at least once a week, just for a daily driver that's a little more fun... and awd for winter. fuel economy and laziness keep me in the focus tho.

you'll have to pry the stealth from my cold, dead hands.

[tcturbo91]

i always have ideas running through my head.... i just dumped alot of money into the Z so i'm going to keep it for a while. i would love to put the money from the sale of the Z down on something newer (and faster haha), but payments would not be a good look for me right now

[CleanNeon98]

Only when I have to fill it up with 93 and still get 21mpg haha other than that, I love it

[Scapegoat]

my truck... no... selling that now would be a failure of epic proportions...

the srt-4... i love the car, but i'm ready for something a bit more "adult"

I've also been thinking of looking for a 97-98 viper

[OPZ]

The elantra I've been having strong thoughts of selling because it's "done", and while it's fun to drive...eh, I want something a bit more sporty, and AWD.

But the fact all I have to pay for its maintenance and insurance, and the 40-50mpg on the highway is so nice...


The 240, I'm pretty much re-building, kinda wanted to sell it to get more camera stuff, but eh...

[DPancoast]

when I first got my car and started dumping money into it, it crossed my mind a lot because I had thought it wasn't worth what I was putting myself through to keep it. but I didn't give up and now I love the car to death. It's my baby and she runs so good and is SO much fun to drive. Plus I get 25MPG in the city which is just as good as some new cars coming out... AND my car looks sexy as hell...not like some of the spaceship bubbles out... I have plans to boost in the spring/summer of next year and with so many other things I want to do, there's no use in selling my car since I'm in way too much money already. The only way I'd sell my car is to just buy another MR2.

[marshallpre1]

I want to buy a new DD, but I know that's dumb because I have more work for the Supra!

[05suby]

Same here, Its not that I dont like my car because I love my car but if I'm going to spend the money to beef up the transmission I would rather just get an STi.

hahaha so true. everytime i look for an sti, i still see 04s going for $28,000 and its ****ing annoying. i dont have that much money and i cant afford $500 a month payments. i have other bills to pay.

[MissDSM]

I think about it everydaaay. Which is probably why i'm 22 and have had 9 cars :( lol

[eurotrashed]

just started parting my car... **** it

[HickRocket1258]

I have lately thought about trading in my daily driver mustang for something like a jetta. I already have a camaro that is fast enough so why try and bother with something like my mustang. I have a feeling though that I will never go through with it until I can just afford a jetta.

[lownslow95]

I usually think about selling my truck, but every time I have done that, I usually get low-balled, and I usually tell the potential buyer how much it actually is worth, and they never call back. As stated from TurboTagTeam, I am kind of getting out of cars and modding them. I'm thinking about driving my truck until it just dies on me one day, hopefully not for a long ass time, and just work my ass off and buy an evo or an sti and do nothing to it.

[PhillySVT]

Honey, your no were near as bad as me! Are you single...cuase my last 3 girlfriends couldn't understand my sickness. LOL

[Supraru]

Honey, your no were near as bad as me! Are you single...cuase my last 3 girlfriends couldn't understand my sickness. LOL

Probably they 57th person on this board to try to pick her up. :lol:

[NOPSTNS]

i never really considered it until i started workin on the lotus elises/ exiges we get here at work....a used one can be had for not too much money, considering their performance.



Probably they 57th person on this board to try to pick her up. :lol:


hey its not his fault, they should have some signal in their name or something stating if they r single or not!!!

[russiankid]

I've had thoughts about selling my Accord when I would start thinking about all the little leaks and stuff it had. Then after fixing them I don't want to let go of the car.

[Vypurr]

I have been having bad thoughts about turbo vettes and challengers lately!

[Nick 95 6sp]

With other cars I've owned this "should I sell/move into something else" question was not uncommon for me. Since I've owned my Supra for the last ~9 years I don't even ask the question and when somebody else brings it up I usually say it will be buried with me...alluding to one of those mythical magical horses that are buried with the honorable warrior when he dies...or my kids will end up fighting over it...since they seem to know that I'm not selling it, once in a while they still say "dad, when you die can we have your Supra?" Having said all this B.S., I can imagine changing my mind under the right circumstances...e.g. lottery hit and purchase of a McLaren F1.

[timp]

i think about it pretty much daily... well, there's about a week or two leeway right after i buy a new car to the point where I get used to it and it's not as thrilling anymore...

[Big_Jim]

I think about parting out and trading in my xB daily. As crazy as it is, i want a Cadillac DTS. I dont mind footing the bill for gas. My other car is a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis, and thats a hog on gas. I've always liked big cars, and the Scion doesnt fit my needs anymore.

[PhillySVT]

It's always good to try out something else. I like that fact that I've owned all different types of cars and not just limit myself to one kind.

[probevette]

The bmw....never the other junkers...all the time.

[PhillySVT]

Nevermind...just re-read the post

[howielong]

After tonight's little brakes failing on me driving home, I'd say its time for a new car soon. I wish I had some extra cash, I don't want to wait until Feb to start looking at new cars.

[180sxDrifter]

steve get the 09 spec b...you have the perfect excuse now!

I pretty much want a new car every other day haha

[howielong]

If I had some extra cash lying around to total up to my down payment then tax title and what ever I'd buy one in a heart beat. :)

I think I found out what it was though, so it seems like it would be an easy fix for the mechanic to fix.

[Tatanko]

I used to think about selling my Maxima all the time. It never really made sense though economically at this point in my life. Then I got a really well-paying summer job and bought a 2nd car I really wanted so I didn't have to sell the Maxima anyway. It was a win-win.

[lawdogg]

I always think about it when the car's down for whatever reason. But as soon as I get it back, I stop thinking about it. LOL!

[Proven]

Been debating selling my car for years to get a SUV or Luxory car and building something else on the side (AE86, S13, all motor honda, 240Z)

[Honest_Bob]

Every other day. The reason I want to get rid of it is because I drive it to much. It gets boring driving the same car 60+ miles a day.

I love my car. It was/is my dream car. I've had it since new. I dont think I would actually sell it, or at least I try and convince myself that.

Who would want to buy an 05 with 90k miles on it anyway? :wink:

need a beater, need a beater

[Schepis]

For my daily, all the time. I drive a Neon SRT-4, and the trannies are junk; Hence the reason why I wouldn't mind having another DD. My Z32, never. I've owned 5 (two twin turbos, three non-turbos), and I love them. They are super reliable, and capable of making massive power with little mods (TT).

[PaleDSM]

Only when I see an Exige. I think of selling both of mine to get one.

[crazyrage]

I don't at all. Still got a couple years of payments left on mine lol.

[CarbonIS]

very often, mostly for a house though.

[djb5118]

i plan to drive my accord to the ground. as for the sc300, i dont know. i(m in) love (with) the car, but each time i take it somewhere and i have to wipe off everyones drool, its tempting. i would just be curious to see how much i could get for it, but on the flip side, its my first car thats "mine" so a part of me wants to keep it forever.

[xEJ20x]

I think about other cars daily....

Whether if its just for daily or another project....

[bastid]

I think about selling my car here and there, although I know it would be better to hold off until I own my own house. I'm waiting for the housing market to bottom and I still feel at this point I'd be catching a falling knife for another 10-15% hit over the next 6-9 months. That being said, the only thing that would make me feel otherwise is if someone put out a car that had similar stats to my M3 with 400lbs less weight and not be a domestic or cost upwards of 6 figures. It's a pretty tall order so I think it's safe to say that I'm sticking with what I've got for the near term.

[92dxman]

The thought of another Civic or Metro has passed into my head but the thought of my car being paid off, gets 36 mpg on a daily basis, can haul a ton of stuff and has having Recaros probably brings me back. After my Eibachs and rear sway bar going on, i'm throwing my money into buying a nice road bike.

[Proven]

Proof that guys feel like Cars and girls are the same ^

[alwaysinboost]

I love both my cars to death but still think about trading them from time to time. I think everyone goes threw it.

Recently its been the EVO... I'm on the fence about selling it for an X. actually going this saturday to finally test drive teh MR. unless it totally blows my socks off, which I highly doubt it will, I'm not doing anything.

One thing I can say is that I have no regrets about the cars I've already sold.

[GOULET]

fackk now im really thinkin about gettin a 70s Z. I always wanted one to tear apart and do naughty things to do. Anyone interested in a gold s14? mmmm :mrgreen:

[delspool]

everyday, thats why i just traded in my honda fit for a tacoma :mrgreen:
