Before you act all shocked, I'm considering selling the FD to provide means to buy a home. What does everyone think? I figure I'll just put an ad out for $19k, and if someone snatches it then all the better, and if not, then I can't say I didn't try! (Trust me, I've seen a few FD's and this one is WORTH the 19k.)
Opinions? No flames please! |
I'll give you $300 right now..

You can hopefully always go buy another toy.. but owning a home is one of those things a 'responsible and financially secure' person does. Ya know when they grow up and stuff.. you always have your mid life chrisis(sp?) to buy another FD https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Yeah, even if you feel bad about it.. a Home is a great investment.. and then you will have somewhere to store your next project FD.. in the future..

to get a house is a valid excuse in my book https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Can we turn your new house into a frat house?
|
Ask more than 19k since people always try to low ball the seller anyway..

Just remember you can't drive your house but you can live in your car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
Its all about priorities... |
Do you have another car to fall back on, or is the FD your only means of transportation? Cause if you have 2 cars then it is justifiable, otherwise its pretty much pointless to sell it only to downgrade.

Lets see, keep a car that is only going to lose value, or get a house that will gain in value and move out of the parents house or stop paying rent, tough choice? |

When will your 7 get to the point where it wont lose anymore value. I read when I bought my car that an Rx-7 is the only car rated by NADA that actually appreciates 3.7% a year(something like that). I would think so since their are only a handful left and getting harder to find everyday. Back on topic I would definatly buy the house instead of the car. I support your desicion! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif |

sold my fd along with other toys for this very exact reason years ago..
needless to say...one of my better decisions..replaced the loss thereafter.. although i might add the the fd sold is still sorely missed .. |
only 16k fd's made in america the price goes up each time someone crashes, and each time a fast and the furious movie is released.
hell the mkiv supras are at 25-30k right now for a semi-sucky one. kevin. |
I say that's a great idea... but...
why does everyone try to get more money out of their car? Well, depending what year your FD is, doesn'tnecessarily mean you should sell it almost as much as you payed for it.... It's not gonna happen, even if you put in nearly $5k or so in mods... JIMO. |
As mentioned you can always replace the FD.

if I had bought the same house 5 years ago Im buying now it would
have cost me about $80,000 less then it is now. Now if I had that mortgage payment instead of the $2000 payment Im going to have now, I could be driving any new car I want and been paying my mortgage and still be spending the $2000 a month. Get the house now, ge another car later. |
