As you guys know, I bought it in 2002 from my aunt. So I am the second owner. The car has only 41000 original miles and has never been in anaccident. What I'm saying is that the car is pretty unique, and it also has a lot of sentimental value to me. The thing is that now that I got out of the Army last year, my priorities changed. So now, I want to get another house, because my neighbors keep pushing me to get another house, and mod it how I want it. You know how females are...they love houses and decorating them. So now I want a new house, and leave my father and sister in this one. I'm thinking, "I have to spend at least $10,000 more to get the Celica where I want it with the bodywork, paint, and the rest of the things to make it pretty". The cars as it is right now, all ****ed up, turns heads, and it's unique in the island. There are only a few more, and are in worse condition and high mileage. But the problem is that I also want a new bike...an '07 Triumph Daytona 675. I have an addiction with bikes, and that would be my third one. I'll eventually get rid of the Ninja. Anyway, the car has been down for so long, I learned to cope without it. I now ride even if it's raining hard. I'm used to it. So the car is occupying space, and not doing a damn thing, which is bad as we all know. So I was thinking of pulling off all the turbo stuff, and sell it NA, and sell the turbo stuff here, or just part it out for you guys, and suck up the hard feelings. I have a knot in my throat right now, and I'm a guy that hasn't cried in almost three years. I love the car, but I came to realize that my future doesn't involve him. Too much money to spend, when I could buy the bike, and not even miss it. But I know I will miss it. Yeah, this is a sad story. I cannot believe that after all these years saying that I would never sell it, I'm finally selling it.
Should I keep it, and work on it little by little as a project car, or should I pass it off to someone else? I really don't want to get rid of it, but just to think that I have to spend thousands to get it where I want it, right now I don't feel like investing in something that will depreciate. HELP. ![]() -------------------- |

That's another reason why I don't want to get rid of it. I paid for it cash, and it looks current. Doesn't look old compared to new cars. But whatever...I know I'll get over it. I just wish I was in the continental US to sell it to somebody from the forums, and not some average joe in the island that would sell it or not take care of it.
