Well, I figured you guys are a good test bed for advice so here it goes..

1. I have 80k miles on my car and not looking like my 30k miles a year on a car is slowing down any.... that means.. roughly 3 sets of rear tires a year.

2. I want to pay off other things because I want to get a beater. My S isn't so much too much money for me as is my other debt added onto my S right now, and the only way to make a dent in either one is to sell one or the other.. and considering I can't sell credit cards.. the car might be my only choice.

3. Beater.... if I sold the S I was going to buy an Integra to drive daily for the next year while I punch a hole in my debt. Then... I'll basically have little to no car payment to deal with.

4. Beater + Brand new 05. My plan is to spend basically the next year trying to knock out this debt enough for me to buy a brand new 05 and just let it marinate in the garage while I continue to drive the Teg, this way I end up with a brand new S, low miles, a beater, and less debt.

5. No S for a year..... in theory.... my plan looks good on paper, but I'm not sure I can go through with it or not, I should get a raise within this time period and am looking at more freelance work opportunities or etc to help out with income.

Just throwing this idea around in my head....

 

recommend you discuss with dave22. He is very level headed, great at giving advice, and is in a similar situation.

 

I'll give Dave a call tonight....

 

1) I do about 30,000 miles a year, too. Over half go on my shitbox.
2) Same boat. Student loans and accumulated bills from moving around a lot, along with not making as much $ as I expected when I moved here.
3) It's nice to have the S for those sunny, 80

Like anything else in life, it only works if you stick to it

 

Come on guys.. not like I'm not buying another one..

 

Subby I was just sayin that I could never let go of VMOM cuz shes just too special to me. Sure I would maybe like to have a glass window or a leather console and nice lookin tweeters but I tink shes very special and I ONLY hope nuthin ever happens to her Plus now that SPA is no longer even MORE reason! I dont like the Rio as well to orangy to me!
