looks like I might be selling, just horrible Options

[Batman722]

I am getting divorced (A very good thing) I have been seperated for about 6 months. My soon to be ex-wife took the new Jetta when she left and said she wanted it. Now she doesn't want the Jetta and wants the Celica. After all the work and time and love I have put into the Celica I don't want to give it up. We had a meeting with my attorney today and the likely course is if we can't agree on the cars, they will both be sold and the debt/profit would be split. Both cars are in my name and I have a loan for the Jetta (I owe about 8K) and the Celica is paid off. She doesn't want the car payment.

I am at a loss for words. I don't know what to do...

[OSIRIS]

Oh man that sucks sooo much

well if the cars are in your name, dont you by law get the executive descision on what happens?

[dstrbcelica]

that sucks man...and those power folding mirrors ::sigh:: sucks man.

-dstrb

[Coomer]

That sucks man...I'm sorry to hear that.

Hopefully it works out though.

[Gilbert_619]

wow that suck bad...

ill that the power folding mirrors hhaha jk

fight for your right to keep it

[Batman722]

I might sell it and buy it back after the mess is officially over (like to my sister) or just strip it down and sell it. I don't know. I will know more as the time comes...

[Consynx]

does your sister have the $ to buy it back?
btw i dont think you would win.
it's like a girl fighting for condoms in court

sure she can use them, but their ultimately yours and for you

[RedSunCelica]

report the car stolen . take it to a shop, chop it, strip it dump it in a field split the insurance money and with the remainder of the money buy a new 6gen and add the parts back on it

or we can make your ex disappear

Sell both cars, just sell the celica to someone you know, then buy it back from them, when everything is done with.

[DamDirtyApes]

just buy it urself..... if u have the money i think u can buy it.. then that money gets split between u and the bitch i mean ex lol

[playr158]

yo batman
i'll buy your celica
for 100$
and sell it back to you after a month
i wont evendrive it
i'll leave it up there
in a lot by your hoouse

[saleeka]

yeah do somthing like that with a family member she dosent know too well. sell it for cheap to them and sign the title over (assuming her name isnt on the title). that way your ex-wife cannot get her hands on it. once the divorce is finalized and done in court- buy the car back and have the title signed back over. Its shady as hell but it dosent break the law as far as i'm aware.

[Batman722]

I would have to sell the Celica for the private party value (about $3500) if I sold it and she would get half. And we would sell the Jetta and split the debt/profit. I owe 8K on the car, If I sell it for 6K then we split the 2K debt. Either way, we break even with no cars.

I am thinking of stripping the Celica down, reversing everything I have done to it (starter, lights, gauges, new front and rear bumpers, strut bars, JDM folding mirrors, alarm, trunk popper, CD player, new floormats, speakers, GT wheels, ect...) and signing it over to her.

I would get a (my) 99 Jetta III GLS with 71K miles, fully loaded, all power options, leather, heated seats, keyless entry, ect... and 3 years of car payments.

I need to think about this for a few days... I have believed from the start, anything is better than being with her.

PS : everything I take off from the Celica, I would sell to you guys at great prices

[trdevelopment]

dibs on the mirrors lol

Batman722,

I hope you well in the proceedings as I am sure this is a difficult time for you. Although I can't help you at all, I do however want to add my small 2 cent comment.

From my understanding of the situation, I was wondering if you knew why she wants your Celica?

Maybe she wants the Celica not because she wants to drive it but she knows you would feel very bad at having to sell something she knows you love. In other words, it is her way of "payback" during this divorce proceedings.

This is because I fail to see why she wants the Celica when she can have the Jetta (assuming they are of the similar value). It would seem to be that it is not a money question relating to the Celica.

If this is the case, there may be a way to discuss with her (via her attorneys) to keep the Celica with you.

Obviously, the above is coming from a person who does not know you or your situation or all the facts. The above can be only one of many conclusions. For all I know, she may be a Celica nut like the rest of us.

You are the best judge of the situation.

Good luck.

[QUOTE]or we can make your ex disappear

im with him

im sry to hear about all this...hope everythig works out...but yeah..i've got some connections in the irish mob...give me or redsun a call...will how you say..do buisness

[CelicaQT]

I don't get it...? If the cars are both under your name, especially the celica and it's paid off then WHY does or do you both have to decide who get's what? It's in your name....so you own it. She shouldn't have any say right?

I don't get the legality of divorce earnings?! lol

But yeah I think she just wants to hurt you and take away the one thing that makes you happy.

Good luck with everything Bat!

[dstrbcelica]

wow...the reader was here.

[Supersprynt]

put sand in the gas tank and then give it to her.

[Ricky]

Dude, just take it easy.

Sell both cars. Split the money and save yourself some grief. With the money (if you have any left) buy yourself another car and begin your project.

Even when the car is under your name she is legally entitled to 1/2 of everything.

Think about this.. once this is over... well is over!

She can ask for everything she wants but just because she asks for it that does not mean she will get it.

Try to make the divorce as fast as posible... then move on.

[celicarocker]

[dabbill]

Yea I say sell it to some one and buy it back. When you get divorced the woman can take any where from 0 to half of everything no matter who's name its in.

[blackbullet]

if its register under your name should all the property be yours already??.. and she should have nothing to do with it unless her name is in it too... dont know if im right but that's what i've been seeing so far... well sell it to a friend and buy it back...or insurance fraud it and keep the parts for another 6gc...well good luck man..

[thedevilmaycrie]

WHOA dude dont sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here is the law a guy i work with JUST went through this....... if the car was bought before the marriage your in luck its your as long as you have been married for less then 10 yrs then its communty property ......... i will buy it from you for cheap and sale it back to you for cheap .......

[playr158]

read what he said he has to sell at least 3500$ and she gets half.....but i guess you can lose 1250$ to the wife then pay the member who bought your car back the 1250$>?

[Chrobis]

well, if you wernt in the middle of the divorce then you would be able to just sell the car, to say your sister, still continue to drive the car but have it registered in your sisters name. But, I guess you cant do that because your in the middle of the divorce, otherwise that would be all fine and dandy. Ask your attorney though if that would be legal before shooting yourself in the foot.

[OrbitalGT95]

I still say we make the EX disappear
