my OLD SHO... should i buy it back? (Serious posts only... for now)

[syP]

Long story short... bought my SHO back in 2005 for $3k.... had 79k miles on it..


I drove it all summer and winter without a problem.

Sold it along with my GTP to get my Cobalt... the SHO had 91k on it.


traded it in to the dealer for $2500 (not bad since i raced it alot and dealer only gave me $500 less than i paid for it)

Someone on here found that it was for sale again.

Apparently the guy has had nothing but constant clutch problems. The front bumper is a little wrecked.

Currently has 107k miles on it and the engine is still flawless.

He now wants $800 for it since he wants it gone.

Should i get it back?

For $800, go for it. Was this your first car? I regret selling my first car, and if I found it for sale I would jump all over it, especially if it was $800. Considering the dealership only gave me $500 for it as a trade in.

[syP]

This was the first car that i paid for 100% up front. (not a lot of money) but a lot of work has gone into it, and it was just simply fun to drive

and those are hella low miles for that year

$3k for 79k as a 95... hell yea

If you've got the money, do it. Or sell something off the Cobalt. Rims?

i pay $1000 a month for my car payment, insurance, and gas (not anymore lol)

i also go out to eat almost everyday and buy my GF anything she wants. its well over $1500 a month. Im rarely home

I now pay for school since im not full time in school, supplies, and books, and membership to X-sport

this is why i work 50 hours a week.


and i have to pay off my lawyer.. still dont know how much he is going to charge me.

 

[Burtonrider10022]

wat do u pay insurance on i thought u had no lisence

 

[Dasfinc]

wat do u pay insurance on i thought u had no lisence

He has to have 'storage insurance' because the car has a lien on the title, but that doesn't cost very much at all. He is making double payments on his car however IIRC.

 

[PANDA]

wat do u pay insurance on i thought u had no lisence

storage insurance. Or maybe he is forced to pay full coverage all the time because the car is financed?

 

[Burtonrider10022]

not usually with financeing... but def if its a lease... which i doubt it is...

 

[syP]

Full covereage.. Panda hit the nail on the head

still has the loan on it...

And i dont wanna fuck with my insurance because i will be sr22.... and if i dont make a change or take away this car on the payment until the court thing blows over... chances are my insurance company will not notice it and my rates wont go to 6k a year


Just praying that doesnt happen, thats why i still pay $2300 a year for insurance
