I am waiting a year, year and a half myself too. We're not anywhere near the upturn of this economy, from all the readings, writings and reserach I've looked into, I'd say we're going to be in the same state we're in now in about a year, assuming we hit our low somehwere in between then, and slowly start to climb back up. If we rebound a little faster, then it works out either way 'cause financial institutions are going to be willing to provide credit for people even more so...

+ the cars will be one year older=lowered price

Good luck selling it. There isn't a market for any car other then a civic or camry right now.

dj,

I'll take your wheels/rims if you decide to sell & throw the stockers back on there.

PM me if you decide to go that route.

Good luck either way in your decision.


Josh

yeah i really dont need to sell it, and to buy something else and keep this in the garage is no good idea for me.
i would hate to drive some POS and have nice car in garage, i drive it right, and will not get anything worse that this, i was never a fan of driving a nice car 1 day of the week and ********************ty car 6 days a week, i worked hard and paid cash for it and i will damn enjoy it.
i dont really think i can loose money on it, since the price that i got it for is ridiculous, even at this time and that many miles and this economy, im just not sure what it really is worth.

i honestly dont want to make more payments, thats the thing, ever since i got it its been payments free since i paid cash for it.

so....1998, 80k, and some mods...whats it worht? anyone? or maybe, what would YOU pay for it?
