should I sell ?
I've come to a cross roads with my car and money I owe which is close to 35 gran just bought a house and some of that money went to that
now I got my 81 targa mint condition best car I've ever had but my common sense is its gonna prob take me a good 5 years to pay this off or sell the car for around 22 gran here in Canada and take most of this debt off my mind I got the car last year for 17000 as a great deal I'm torn on what to do I'm a car guy so if I sell it I'll prob get an old subaru to work on etc but I really don't wanna sell it but my mind is telling me it's the make sense thing to do should I keep it |
Sell it. Nothing compares to the peace of mind that comes with being debt free. Pay off your obligations and then pay cash for another.

I'm at the same crossroads as you . As much as I love my 930, I have come to the realization that selling it , clears off all my debt, and I am off the hamster wheel, at the ripe age of 45. I go back and forth daily ... It is a tough call, if the market keeps going like it is, you , and I may never get another.

Once upon a time I sold my 968 to get together the money for a down payment on my house. Do I miss that car? Hell yes I do! But I know that I made the smart decision for my family. It's paid off in spades. There are always other cars. You can't put a price on solvency.
|
ya I think its the right thing to do I've told myself that if I don't get at least 22000 I won't let it go and just keep paying down my debt Slowly I guess who know what the value of these cars will be in 5 years but oh well
|
you owe 35 g for the car?
you have a picture of the car? mint 911SC are not that easy to find..man..i might keep it. |
not part of it was to buy the car but the rest was for other things like I said just bought a house and had to spend some on that
|
I did something similar 10 years ago. I am back in a Porsche now for 2 months. It was definitely worth it for me, but you sound like you are in a better position than I was at the time.
|
Like I tell my kids ... 'It's stuff...work for it, enjoy it, but don't think you can't live without it. It can always be replaced or upgraded.'
|
keep the car, you bought it for a reason.
stop living in the past and start living. |
if you're riding the ragged edge..buying the 911 was the wrong decision..but now that you have it..keep it. dont make two mistakes :)
|
One way to look at it....if you had 22k in your pockey, would you buy a 32 year old pcar toy or would you pay down your debt to a reasonable level? There's your answer.
|
it's a tough call I think if I can get 22000 out of it I could let it go then take a year to be debt free
there is no good sc 911 in ontario right now and the 86 and up people are asking close to 30 gran I will keep it until I get what I want if not then I think it's worth keeping |

Pfffffft! Wine out nose.

You're not going to get $22,000 for a 32 year old SC......it will probably yield enough to pay off half your debt load of your lucky. $12000-16000 would be a reasonable figure.

I disagree the market is what it is but if that's the case I guess I'll keep it |

Decent SCs have been trading hands in the 20s for a while now. Some exceeding 30. $12-16k was two years ago. |
