I'll pay my Z off next year and I have a Toyota Celica (been paid off for 3 years) as a DD. I store the Z in winter but I can't help and think about selling.

My 2004 350z Touring has 45K on it and my celica has 94K. Both vehicles are stick, and fun to drive. I love them both

If I sold my sights would be onto a WRX but they can be such a headache.

Sell both my cars:










NEW WRX either 2012 or 2013:

 

sell the celica and pick up a cheaper wrx as a DD.

 

Not really practical. The only ones I can find have either high miles or have been modded.

I could only get $6,000 for the celica if that.

 

are you saying sell both or just one..?

 

Sell the celica and buy a 300zx

 

I thought the same exact thing with my Z and the '13 WRX. I honestly can't let go of the Z. If I sit inside of any other car, whether it is a WRX or BMW or w/e, I don't get the same feeling I do in a Z.

I love the WRX with a passion, but I don't know... I guess I didn't answer your question and instead made it worse. Good luck lol.

 

hahah thats what I thought exactly! I love the look and feel of my Z. But I see what the new WRX has to offer. But after you pay tax on the price and do financing you have a $35-40K car that's worth much less.

And i've researched the stock map from Subaru is shitty just so the car has good emissions.

I think my best bet is to hang onto my Z because it's got low miles, fun to drive and nothing like it.

And the poll was to sell both vehicles.

 

They wanted $28k out the door, not even the most basic model. I guess I really want one because I never had a turbo charged car.

 

That's a good price for sure. I've always wanted a turbo car as well. The thing is you see a lot of WRX's and not many 350z's at least in my area.

IDk how i would feel driving a brand new car in winter My celica is a beast 2zz engine, snow tires and leather.

 

Keep the Z since it'll be paid off. Enjoy not having car payments. Maybe trade the celica fot something similar , just for a change. Mines about to be paid off at the end of this month!

 

its a good feeling to pay a car off and not owe the bank! GAH!

I actually owned a Impreza 2.5RS and sold that instead of the celica. I've owned the celica 6 years- can't seem to let it go because I bought it from my father before he became very sick. Has more sentimental value then I thought.

I guess I was pondering the idea of selling both and getting a new WRX.

 

sell celica, buy an unmolested/stock evo vii, viii or ix

 

I say keep Z and wait patiently until you find a nice used WRX.

 

Stock Evo's are hard to find and I don't want another car payment.

Best option I guess is pay off the z and have no payment at all lol

 

The best vehicle is a paid off one. I've had my Z paid off for years, and it's my DD. I have been contemplating an 2010 a5 or 2011 335i coupe for months, but have successfully been able to fight the temptation, as it would just eat my savings or put me in debt. In today's econcomy it adds great solace to know I am debt free. Be happy with what you have, which is more than the rest of the world does.

 

+1

I've done the same thing. (Contemplate buying Audi / BMW because I've recently paid off the car.) In the end, I shake it off because I find it much more satisfying knowing I'm debt free of a car payment now.

 

Yes I love the day you make the last payment and it really is a relief.

I worked hard for it, and the 350z is my attainable dream car. Can't wait to pay it off. I have maybe 4K left.

 

pics and specs on the Z?

 

It's all stock minus bumper tuck, K&N filter and agency power catback.

In very good condition, leather, heated seats and bose, clean title. I've taken care of it and always stored in winter.
