    Default To sell or not?

    well, i need your help guys.

    my car is a 9/90. 525i m50. it has 251k km (155k miles) on it, lpg installed. 17",shortshifter, all clears, complete Mtech inside.


    the car so far cost me around $7500, and i just got an offer, that same amount of money.

    should i sell it or not? i'm thinkin that an e36 coupe 328i with LSD would satisfy me, or maybe an e30 m3....


    i don't know what to do. please vote.


    TIA

    $7500 is a very generous offer for a '91

    Indeed, you might not find another offer that high.

    Two issues here...

    1. your car is working fine, you know it well, and it is maintainable, AND it's the way you like it
    --- you will need to start the process over with another car!

    2. this is great offer for a 91... lots of money
    --- will this money be enough to get you back into the 'satisfied' state you are now?

    it's not my decision.

    WHY do you wnat to change, is it for the sake of change? or to upgrade?

    Have you Found another vehicle you want already?

    This is pretty easy. Assuming that you didn't mean you had $7500 total into your car over the past 5 yrs. And assuming that you did a lot of work on your car too. $7500 did not include your labor. So if you didn't think your car is worth more than $7500, why did you put that much into it plus labor? So you yourself must think your car is worth more than $7500 to spend that much money plus time into it.

    I had to go with sell it.
    I think you did a fine job on your ride.
    Time to do another. The market today is soft for our model and you could pick up something with a lot of potential at a very good price with cash left over.
    I will have to insist that you send the wheels to me before selling. What are they, 17 inch style 5's? Staggered? Mmmm.
