Thinking of selling my car

[KYMP5]

Alright guys, i hate to sell it but im thinking of selling my car. Im about to buy a house and i have another cars thats paid off to drive. I just dont think i want a house payment and car payment. So my question is, do you all think i can get what i owe for the car? I owe 9000 and some change. I think its worth that but im heavily biased. The car has got some goodies on it and is in great shape and has 45k on the odo.
Buy selling it i can get my house and buy a car i really want in a year or so.
What do you all think?

I would sell it if I had other means of reliable transportation and it was the difference between getting or not getting a house...

you could probably get close to 9k for it if not 9k...

i was thinking with the stuff i got in it, its probably a good deal if you add what ive spent on it to book value. I know that doesnt count for s*** when selling a car, but hey, i need to lose the payment.
Its not the difference between me getting a house or not, just the difference between me getting a house or one that i like.

I can understand that... good luck!

thanks.
btw, kbb.com lists the private party value at 10,400, so i may be able to get 9 for it

i think ill makes some posts about it and put the word out that its for sale but i wont really push it. If it sells it sells, if it doesnt ill just keep paying for it

I would say if it means getting just a house OR the house u really want, sell the car and get the house you really want. In the end the house will be what matters most and like you said in a yr you can maybe get more car.

well, if i get rid of it now, get my house and it squared away, then i can save some money and get me something sweet later. Not to mention i would have someequity from the house and be able to get a loan easier. I dont know, i love the car but in the long run i may be better off

sell it, your house gains value while your car on the other hand will lose value.

good pt, hadnt quite thought of it like that

i say sell ur other cars and save the 1 u love!
remember 5's were pnly made for 2 yrs! they are like rare now!
most house value go up but depending on the econ who knows it might go down!

I think that you should sell your car.

Hell yeah you can get 9k for it. There is a dealership here that has a 02' red p5 with 48k miles on it for like $12,900. If I had 9k I would come and see you this weekend.

ill hold it for you ............jk, but if you know anyone that wants it, let me know

definitely sad to say, but I'd drop my car the moment I realized that it was pretty much house I want or car I like. cars are something that are almost disposable but houses are something that really don't come and go. get the house, make sure it's got a large garage/workspace and devise evil plans for next year or the year after (laugh) (eekdance)

I'm pretty sure i'm the owner of the P5 you once possessed. Which is actually quite cool to know.

Why not just have both? I only clear 32K per year and my wife is a full time college student. We bought our house and HAD two car payments. We luckily paid off the P5 rather fast but still owe 6k on our GA. and the ranger is paid off but a huge money pit. I always need a new toy for it.
