I'm on EBay

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

Well... my car is anyway. I haven't resorted to selling my body just yet

Time to move on ... but selling the car will help me buy a house, so that's a good thing.

I swear here we go again! First Steve then Nightrage! Now you!

Man don't sell that TA. You'll be sorry! I'm telling you. Don't sell something you truly enjoy. Now I know you enjoy that car.

You said you self not long ago that it won't be long till you have it paid for then you can buy yourself a house.

Keep the TA and enjoy it and life! You will be miserable. You better listen to me before you make a big mistake. I know I have been there and done that already.

I'm not trying to make you mad! and I hope you don't feel that way!

Have a goodone, Lee!

Lee, it is just it's time...

If you have to sell to buy a house, thats the smart thing to do. Its much harder to get ahead if youre renting. Then, after that first big tax return go put a down payment on another one!

Agreed. Selling the car to buy a house is a good idea.

In 1998 I sold my 1995 Ultra-Z to build a duplex. I owed $9,000 on it at the time and needed to eliminate the debt so I would qualify for the construction loan. I used some leftover cash from the deal to buy a 1988 Iroc. Now I had no more car loan, and an older less expensive car.

I lived there, with that Iroc for 5 years. I wanted to sell it and buy another 4th gen, but then the chance to build another duplex came about. So, I built the duplex I live in today in late 2003. Now I have 3 renters and a 1994 droptop that is paid for as well as a daily driver that is also paid for.

If you want to be successful and get a good start in life save your credit for houses and buy your cars with cash. Eventually you will be in a position to buy a car on credit again, and at that point it can be something really nice, like a brand new Z06.

Yep, we're all on the same bandwidth

I am buying a 3 bedroom house and I will have 2 people renting the other rooms. I work for a mortgage company so I have a great rate on a 5 year interest only ARM, and their rent will almost equal the monthly payment!

I'll use the money from the sale of the car to furnish the house - update any appliances, etc... but I'm expecting $10K from the sale, and I don't think I'll need to use it all. So, with practically no housing payment, only $150 a month car payment, and all utility bills being divided between 3 guys... a downpayment for a Corvette should add up pretty quickly.

[LeeS97Z28]

You didn't mention before that you were going to have people renting. In that case yes I would sell the car!

Have a goodone, Lee!

Man, I hate to hear about anybody selling an F-body, but I have to say that buying a house is the most important thing I have ever done. Good luck, stay on the board, and get back into whatever moves you man. If you want to go vette, well, there's worse choices... I hope this is not a trend :-)!!!!

I agree. A house is an extremely good investment. As much as I hate seeing someone selling their f-body, this one is well worth it.
Good luck on your new house

Sad to see such nice car go up for auction, but houses appreciate in value over time...

I have to say, I love the shifter knob that you have in that car...

[casey02ws6]

I hate to see you sell it but you are making a good decision. At least you are not selling it for a Vulva....I mean Volvo

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

I found a house that I really like today... Just north of 8 Mile Road, right off Woodward.

The street is so nice... lots of well-kept vintage 1920s home with trees and flowers everywhere.

I'll go see it probably some time next wekk and I'll keep you guys updated on the progress

Hurry up and pick a house. I need to know where I am going to be staying for the Dream Cruise.
