Well now its done. I moved ....:), Frs and fj gone. Options

[njccmd2002]

made bad choices in life, and good choices that need come to an end. LOL.

looking for a bigger car, more room and same engine. I already have something in mind.

2 cars will become 1, and an used car will be put for sale shortly. need to focus on a few things, and stop the car nonsense.

And no, not the Celi... that bastard is deep in my heart.

Fj - Cruiser, and FRS will be traded soon

78 Corolla will be for sale (maybe)....

You ask why, because too many. While the FRS is a good solid car, plentyful fun. I am more inclined for J Tin... this weekend will be the possible event. Im still debating

Because I'm nice.

Y U HAZ SOOO MANY CARZ THEN U SELLZ THEM AND LOOZE MONEH CAUZ U NO THINKZ AHED OF TIMEZ!?

Is that better? Boring Toyota you say... Sooo, Camry? Or are we going into SUV territory?

[njccmd2002]

the new car will be a surprise...

the frs was a fun buy, figure id loose some money, and the fj will break even. i drive 5 to 6 miles to work, so dont put that many miles in them..., insurance for 2 cars, and no time to enjoy, either get rid of my old cars or this.... I will regret it in the long run, maybe, but it was fun while it lasted.

FRS has 3300 miles in one year, can you believe that?

So... Prius?

I think you're making the right choice in keeping the old cars and getting rid of the new cars. For the time being there will always be more of the FR-S and FJ being made, and if you ever want either one back you'll be able to get them back for less. Where as the Celica and Corolla will continue to become more rare, and it seems now the the Celica especially is starting to pick up in value.

I can believe it, I only drive a few thousand miles a year. 90% of it doing 55 mph in a straight line... Anyhow...

I wasnt asking for celi....

now.

[njccmd2002]

the only one reason i would even consider putting the TRD bumper for sale, is a full curren clip, for a conversion. seeing those are...


well hmm

[Box]

He can buy a Curren front clip and trade you then.

[cheela]

You better not be trading that cell or the j-tin.

I agree with your decision.

[kurt95gt]

sounds like a semi smart move. might as well keep the celicas since theyre both paid off. not to mention the vert has ton of new parts so you know its good for awhile.

im starting to get into a similiar problem myself. i love my celicas......but with as much driving as i do ( i put 3000 on my car every 2.5 month roughly) i really need to buy a new daily driver or do a full an total rebuild on every part of the coupe soon

[njccmd2002]

i could sell the frs and pay off the fj and have no car payment, wee, but not really sure about that. because the car still being financed. and its a hassle to sell it to a individual. I do have a carmax here... ill have to see... but altough im pretty sure i dont have to pay taxes that will be a bummer.

[Box]

FJ's are ugly though, don't you want pretty things? You already have a sports car with the Celica vert, and you have some project cars with the vintage Celica and 'Rollas. So what is it that you're wanting in a daily driver?

Also you could give eBay a shot before going through Car Max or another dealer to sell them.

[richee3]

I'll be curious to see what you get. I'd take that FR-S off your hands if I didn't my heart set on something else at the moment.

[Box]

63,000 miles in a year? Damn...

[Keiri]

I am going to assume either a 4Runner or a Camry SE.

[azian_advanced]

i don't think i could ever let go of my FR-S...
i'm curious to find out what you're getting next.

[njccmd2002]

id give ebay a try, if it wasnt because i dont know how to sell a car thats being financed. everyone wants tittle in hand for the sale. So i dont know if that would work.

fjs are not ugly, they are ok. Well i have the trail teams, for 2010 and it holds its value pretty good. It would be a paid off car with 100,000 mile warranty ( i paid for that)


If i cant sell the FRS like that, not getting anything sporty, will trade for a boring car, lol..


what i have is more than enough, my old cars are my bitches, lol. Ill keep you guys updated n what I do...

The FRS is a great car, but I love J-tin...

I've seen people sell cars being financed before, then of course you have dealers selling cars all of the time that most of the time are doing financing on them. Just have to get things arranged with whoever you're financing with for prospective buyers.

They are fugly, not Aztek fugly but more like xA or xB fugly.

Why would you want a boring car for, that's so boring. If you insist you should get the comfiest luxury cruiser you can find, really make that 5 mile drive to work more enjoyable.

Since I'm in the market for another car as well, we can pick out a car for each other based on a list of criteria.

Extremely easy to sell a financed car.

They get money, you and them sign an agreement WITH A LAWYER that upon receipt of funds from buyer, you have 14 days to procure title from whoever, otherwise all monies to be returned to the buyer. Most finance companies allow wire transfers (same day payoff), and will express the title (for additional $$). If you can't do it in 14 days, you're a knuck.

Bought 4 cars this way, all 4 times, it was just fine. The signed agreement protects everyone.

[njccmd2002]

Lol... We'll not really a boring car but a daily driver... V6...

The frs is too common car, plus I don't like the forums, lol.. Plus I found my dream car, but it's like a unicorn. Hard to find...

Te61 sprinter trueno... Only a few left...

Sounds suspiciously Camry like. You should look into a G37 or CTS Coupe, still fun but with some luxury amenities.

Nothing worse than having a car that everyone else has, and having a good forum for the car is important as well.

I say go for it and find the TE61. After selling the FR-S and FJ you should have more than enough to pick one of them up and a late model daily. You only live once, so might as well have the things you want while you can.

[njccmd2002]

The car i want has to be ordered, traded or wait to be built. Haha thats the last clue.... No i wont have money left. I still owe on both. Basically consolidating car credit, and only 1 car insurance...

I only prefer toyota....

[Keiri]

It's an Avalon.

I bet it's a Tundra. He has a space shuttle to haul.

[Box]

Get a Lexus IS 250 with the 6-speed!!

[njccmd2002]

Lol keeping fingers crossed.

[block]

Im in the same boat. Im looking to possibly sell or look for someone to take over payment so I can get a 2007+ Tundra or FJ Cruiser. Car payment sucks when you owe on a 2012 and 2013!

Why I will never buy a new car, lose your ass on them... Anyhow, get the Tundra. It looks better and the name sounds cooler.

[block]

Money is no issue. Lease? Dont want to. I test drove it 5 minutes and ordered a brand new frs haha. Ive probably wasted more money on cars than anything else (20+ cars). I dont mind keeping but at the same time love the 2007+ Tundras. Im also considering the Lexus Gx470 as i love the style.

[njccmd2002]

nothing better than new car smell...

actually went to dealer today, and they are looking for my car, who knows, its not going to be easy..

[Box]

nothing better than new car smell...

Old car smell is 100x better than new car smell.

[njccmd2002]

lol.

no...

btw its been 4 days and dealer cant find my car.... this sucks, that and im going out of the country for 4 days during the weekend. Just when you get the balls to do something, nothing like some impatient time to make you have second toughts.

[richee3]

You know where I stand in my car shopping. At least you know you'll have a much better time finding what you want and much sooner than I'll get mine.

[Box]

What a convincing counter argument.

It's a special kind of old car smell though...

It really depends on the car though...some old cars smell better than others

[njccmd2002]

Box likes Yogurt stains and Bear sweat smells.

[Box]

I like the smell of 40 year old mildew, no old car is complete without it either.

[njccmd2002]

lol, u funny. BTW dealer cannot find my car still... how diffucult should it be

[Box]

Use more dealers.

[njccmd2002]

Lol. Most dealers wont do what mine is doing. There are only few cars in the southeast. May get it on january

[Box]

That's like forever.

[njccmd2002]

car starts production in japan today??? so they tell me...

[Box]

That certainly narrows it down.

[njccmd2002]

That certainly narrows it down.

u dying to know right? Its a special version of a car/truck/suv/minivan/econobox....

Im dying to know if ill even get it, lol, since i did not put a deposit down, they can sell it anytime.

[Box]

It intrigues me. Not many cars are still made in Japan, if I wanted to sit down and spend an hour of my time I could figure it out.

[njccmd2002]

you could. and why would it had to be ordered, instead of just getting it at the dealer right?

LOL, nothing special, but if im going to trade, it has to be what i want, and not the dealers inventory right?

[Box]

If I were to buy a new car it'd be EXACTLY how I want it to be, shouldn't have to compromise when you're buying a new car unless money is an issue. That or the car is a limited run, or what have you.

[njccmd2002]

car is a limited run? almost there!!!

2014 tC Scion Series?

2014 tC Scion Series?

[Box]

Limited run and from Toyota, yes? New FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Ultimate Edition?

[njccmd2002]

lol, time came in and went, and after 6 weeks, im definetely not in the good mood. I really wanted a 4runner trails premium, it still shows its on its way, or not, i really dont know or care. 6 weeks makes you think, and ive done that too much. I need a fun car too, and the 4runner is not fun, well, i dont off road...

But really now i got another itch...

Looking at a fun subaru.. The 4 runner, seems like another boring suv, and i need to have fun, cargo and awd.

I went through every manufacturer, and the only ones that stand out are the EVO, STI and GTI. Lol really? Of course, not american cars, they have fun cars, but not interested, plus im allergic. and other european cars, well, again not interested bmw and mercedes are overrated, volvos are boring.. mazda does not have anything worthwhile to kick tires, and nissan, right?, the GTR, well lol, cant afford it.

will be test driving the imreza wrx and STI tomorrow, and ill see. My only concern is how good are these engines in response to reliability, since my dealer will be 100 miles away, i heard used imprezas have transmission issues, but that is after all the rough use they received...

wish me luck...

[cardshark525]

Could take a look at an S4 possibly...

Is this going to be for the next few years or a "run it to the ground" car?

Goodluck and have a blast, I love testing new cars.

[njccmd2002]

will pay it off, so it needs to be run till ground car. my boss has an s4 Audi, my neighbor has one, no thanks. that's boring. Im almost 40 but i drive like i stole it sometimes.

unfortunately i may have to reschedule test drive, for another stupid reason, but i wont know until 5pm.

i may need to drive to michigan, are the roads cluttered with snow? i have never driven in the north in winter....

In that case I understand. Didn't realize everyone on the block had one.

[njccmd2002]

lol, not everyone on the block,




but it really is a boring, car its got the girly package, (slushbox)...

[cardshark525]

I do understand wanting to have something different. Why I've been looking at the Hyundai Genesis Coupe for a while now.

My wifes boss is a surgeon and everyone at the office has either a 911 Turbo or an AMG Mercedes.
He went from a 2010 caged M3 (recaro seats, 5 point harness... the works), to now an F-250 and a Maserati Gran Tourismo.

I'm in a college town with a ton of wealthy Asian exchange students who buy a car for a semester basically, so there's now like 6 new Gran Tourismo's rolling around in the last 6 months....

So now he's looking at a Lamborghini because there's only 1 in town... lol.



I'm not sure what else to recommend at this point.. could import an RS4 lol.

I think you'll enjoy the STI though, my friend from work has a really nice one that he's put a ton of money into and it's a really nice ride.
After I sold my original 6gc the wife and I were looking at a WRX but we go back and forth to Jersey to visit family so often we needed something with more trunk space and with a better guarantee than the 5yr60k (if i remember correctly) that the Subaru would give us. Also we tailgate a lot so that kinda sealed the deal.

[njccmd2002]

[Tigawoods]

[njccmd2002]

Lol ....

[njccmd2002]

WRX wagon!!!

Lol. Wrx hatchback!!!



Bought a new 2014 hatch.. Last year made well for now...



Too tired . Drove 120 miles..... Thats the nearest dealer for me...

[richee3]

Boost! I'll have boost soon myself, then Brigette and I need to head down there to check out your STi and take you guys to dinner.

Mostly just check out the STi though.

[Keiri]

:clap:

I approve of this move despite the loss of the FR-S from the family.

Any mod plans or are you going to keep it stock?

[njccmd2002]

This car will be adult driven, not raced, low miles a year lol.... I was able to convince dealer for s sti short shifter and subwoofer plus instalation.

Will i miss the frs, well my insurance on the frs was only 10 dollars cheaper than wrx, yes, i checked. I was told so many times it was a kids car, yes, even my wife, and now im seeing too many riced out. So in the end i was convinced that i needed to grow up.

Frs is a very nice car, affordable, good starting point like the corolla ae86 was, mass produced, yeah, but they are in the business of making money. Its fun, and if i was younger id keep it. But it needed to go.

Fj had its time, i was bored, and too many car payments and insurance. Never did off road it... Sad.

I wont miss them, awd is hella fun, 300hp is also fun, and the car came loaded even with nav. Im happy, i have a man car now, lol.

Still have the celi, yes, and ill keep playing with it for a while.

[njccmd2002]

The celica or the cellicas?

[kloudkicka]

Niice pick up, we have the same cars hehe, i have my 95 toyota celica and also a 2010 subaru sti hatchback, trust me when i say your gonna love it, but the mod bug got me good with the subaru, watch out lol

[Keiri]

The celica or the cellicas?

Well, I prefer the one on its own wheels for now but hopefully Rusty will get some love too.

[Box]

So I was right months ago, shouldn't surprise me. So is it a manual or did you pussy out like some other people?

[njccmd2002]

The hell, where have you been. Its a 6 speed manual, tree killer 17 mpg

GOOD!!!!! I've been in a semi-coma the last two weeks, that's where.
