  • What made you sell your last car?

    I was just wondering what prompted people to sell their last cars before they bought F-bodies (or, in my case, W-bodies).

    I sold my 1993 Mercury Cougar XR-7 V6 because I got beat by a Kia. [img]redface.gif[/img]

    I had an 86 Prelude very reliable car but it was getting old and rusty. I got my Maro as a graduation gift for myself when I got my Bachelors. It was also luck... pre-98, 5-speed, and red color was EXACTLY what I wanted and was what I found.

          I sold my last car (96 bird) about 5 months after I bought my 99 TA because I just couldn't afford to keep paying BOTH car payments and insurance payments, even though I only had about 6 more payments left on it...

              A lady ran a red light and totalled the Stratus I was driving. I was kinda glad because it gave me the excuse to buy my Firebird.
              I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

                I traded in my '95 avenger es for the camaro. I went to the dealership because the last time i was there they had a z-28 and I just like to stare at them [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] Well, they had sold it but had my car there. I took it for a test drive, and the salesman gave me a good deal on the avenger ($4,000, which is more than I bought it for), and it had almost every option that I wanted (didn't have leather or t-tops though :( ), but I still loved it. Got a loan from my credit union with a good interest rate (5.51%), and my monthly payments are quite low. I'm extremely happy with my decision, although I wish I still had the avenger instead of my rx-7 now

                        I sold my 94 camaro because well it was 10 years old, hd bald tires, needed pads, rotors, 2nd gear was gone, had been giving me numerous drivetrain problems, and had an short I could not track down from when my car got broken into and the radio stolen. Also had a sagging headliner and 130,000 miles and over 350 passes at the strip so it wasn't a good daily driver.

                              I sold my last car because I had 2 camaros and could afford one.

                              So I picked the 3 year newer one with the LS1, 50k less miles and leather seats [img]redface.gif[/img]
