Should i sell my car or not.
 
long story short.
my landlord is going to sell the whole building so my family will need to move out before Feb., so we will be paying more for rent PLUS my little bro is going to college so i need to buy him a car. my family is NOT gonner be able to afford all these ---- and my mom doesn`t even have stable income.

I am thinking either sell my car for like 5grand (if it is even possible :P :-\) spend 3 grand to get him a good car and spend the rest to get myself something like an EF

OR sell my whole setup, get myself a running motor and keep the car. THen spend the $ on my little bro`s car, but this way i don`t think i can net as much cash coz i will be buying another motor.

ohoh.here`s a list of what i got, let me knwo how much do u guys think it will worth
Engine
D16Z6 with eagal rod/piston
crower valve spring
D16Y8 manifold
Max rev log manifold
T3/04E .48.60 50T

ACT Xterm PP with street disc
carbon fiber boost,A/F,oil press gauge
chassis/Suspenion:

Integra LS rims with Azenis
Bambo slot/drilled rotor/AEM pad/ goodridge brake lines.

LKS wheels? are you in cali?

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
INTEGRA LS RIMS :P
i am not parting it out. either i keep the rims with the car or i am selling the whole thing.
but i am thinking i MIGHT sell it and put some stock 14s with shitty tires. so it smokes a lot/lost traction to impress whoever ricer buyer it will be.

Re:Should i sell my car or not.

tell your mom to stop being lazy and get a real job....she has children to provide for..

buying your bro a car is not your responsibility...

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
buy him a 500$ car if he bitches, ---- him. its transportation. you shouldn't have to sacrifice what you love to make others happy. unless you wanna sell me the wheels.j/k :P

Donald if you need the cash just put it up on Egay with key words like..JDM,HKS,DRIFT( :P) and set the reserve to what you want for it.

Im pretty shure it will sell.I remember your car and I think you can get that 5Gs if thats what you want.

Good luck!

thats not the point. the point is, he shouldn't give up what he has worked hard to get(obviously) for everyone else who isn't helping themselves. If you lived in my town i could find your mom a job regardless of english skills. it is a strong second language in our community.

Donald125 11-02-2004 12:09 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
working at a gas station will make more than 900 bucks i bet.she work in one of thos sewing place.
my bro just started a part time job where i use to work at and he nets like 300 bucks a month. which i want him to save it up coz i am not gonner have any $ for his books and ----. his skool will start on september.

i am already paying all the bills in the house.(well expect rent), all the repairing on my bro`s car.

Man it sucks when you gotta give up your car for other priorities but its what you gotta do. :-\ I had to sell my 12 second fully loaded mint condition GSR to pay for college :-\

Well in some cultures family is more important than a car.Its all about how you were raised.

I would sell my car to help my family if I were over 18 and still living at home with mom.Its couse of mom he has a roof over his head.Now its time to give back.

thas just my $.02

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
yup it's all about priorities, I have sold soooo many of my honda toys because I have other priorities. School, bills, life. It sucks to give up something you worked hard on and put soooo much money into, but you gotta make sacrifices in life. :-\

see, i disagree. people will use you as long as you let them. one day i was like" ---- this" and they have been fine. it force my lame ass family to wake up and smeel whats cooking.

I haven't had any help. I have made it.

AgentMurdoc 11-02-2004 12:46 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
slowciviclet's mock up a senerio for you.

You mom, she owns a nice house, but it turns out that she hasn't been ablt to afford the mortage for the past few months, and she needs to make a payment of 6k in 3 days or else the house is repossessed. And it just so happens a dealership would give you 6k for the eclipse.

Would you sell the car so she could keep the house that for the last 20 years she has been making payments on which equates to over 300,000 dollars so far.

Or say ---- it and toss the 300k away?

Gotta look at the bigger picture. There are only certain people I would sell my possessions for, but it would also depend on the circumstances.

slowcivic 11-02-2004 12:51 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
i prolly would not. if she was having problems she should have done something before she was 6000 behind. in fact, i have been in this situation. my mom was almost 2000 behind. I decided to help her out, i moved in made some repairs to the house, got a couple renters, and she fucked me over on it. so yeah, it's there problem. i won't do it again, they wouldn't for me.

AgentMurdoc 11-02-2004 12:52 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
:-\ bad example I guess

Donald125 11-02-2004 12:53 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
yea now buy my car.
i take paypal, add 3% to the total ($5150) :P

oh ---- i almost forgot, if i am going to sell it it has to be done within this month coz i just have the smog check done. (otherwise re-check is needed after 30 days).

OMFG

slowcivic 11-02-2004 12:54 PM

Re:Should i sell my car or not.

Re:Should i sell my car or not.
 
only sell your car if u have to. my wife use to work for the housing athority in cali and i beleive your moms might
be eligible for what they call section 8 low income familes
help where u live in a complex or sec. 8 building and pay
rent according to what she makes. if she makes 900.00 a
month rent would be like 25.00-75.00 a month same for utilities and if you bro is under 18 and still in school
living at home that will help. hope things work out
but do check into thr housing athority
