Whats the car you regret selling most?

[Mitch]

Hey guys, what is the car that you regret selling most? I regret selling my first Porsche 911 most. I plan on keeping me M5 for a LONG time, so I won't make that mistake again!

How about you?

[EnderM3]

[AddLightness]

Believe it or not but the 240Z I just sold...man I wish I could have kept it. But such is life!

That's a cool car! I plan on buying a turbo 280z once my E34 building ventures are complete.

Triumph's are yummy . . . .and the 442 is simply a beast of a car . . . .*sigh*

I guess if I had to pick a car that I regret selling, it would probably be . . . as hackneyed as it may appear, my first BMW, my E30, every time I think about it, I wish I would have kept it, but yeah, issues aplenty so I had to let her go.

I regret selling my Lotus Esprit to my brother, he crashed it shortly afterwards. I also regret selling my Porsche 356 spyder. Dang that thing is worth some money now.

Even though it was a pos i regret sellin my first truck. it was a 1988 gmc jimmy that i had wrecked but it still ran and drive ok.

[atl530i]

I miss my 91 Civic Si. It only had 70k miles on it and ran very strong. I regret selling that car period. Oh well, I'll get another one soon.

[GaryK1200330]

My only totally-free car.
Bought a brand new 1973 BMW 2002 in December 1972, out the door for $4000.00, taxes and licence in.
Sold it 8 years later, with 188,000 miles on it, for $4500.00.
And I still miss it. Many, MANY fond memories, including the look on the faces of my friends in MGBs when I toasted them in highway on-ramp contests!!!!!
The original "sport-sedan", but a complete sleeper.
Great car.

[Mitch]

I love the 2002s!

[blackstig]

Wow, that's a sexy story . . . .makes me want a 2002, LOL! What's $4000 in today's money? Like $31,000? Just wondering. . . BMW's have always been the forefront in technology and superior driving, but they've also always found a way to top the charts when it comes to price, LOL!

Sweet signature you got there! :D

I had an old big block Corvette I regret selling. My fiance at the time asked me to sell it, and I did. We never got married, and I cannot afford the car now!! THat sucks

[blackstig]

Wow, shucks dude! See, I don't think I'd sell a car for someone, unless I was VERY tight with my finances, even then, I'd find another way around it . . . .I put it like this, the car was there before the female was in my life and it'll be there when she leaves, LOL!

Hate to date myself, but you really missed the best days of BMW.
Very few people knew what they were back in the early 70's, and it was rare to see another, so you always, ALWAYS got a friendly wave or flashed headlights when you DID see another. And since they were SO expensive (my Dad was buying Datsun 510s and Toyota Coronas for $1899., and couldn't believe I'd spend $4K on "almost the same car"), the only people driving them were true fanatics. All the kids in my high school laughed when I drove my new car into the parking lot; their MG Midgets and MGBs were true "sports cars".......I used to love passing them on the outside of highway on-ramps and watch their shocked faces in the mirror get smaller and smaller as they hit their 79 mph top speed! They didn't laugh for long!!!

[Mitch]

Gary that was a cool story. I was one of those guys with a MGB, it was my first car.

[blackstig]

Gary K. and Mitch were the guys that I would look at when I was young and think . . . man I want to be like those guys when I grow up.

LOL! Now I'm grown (sorta, 23 isn't really grown is it) and I still wanna be like them, LOL!

[Mitch]

Hey man, I just LOVE cars and I wish I could sample them all. Thats my problem. I've owned over 25 cars and I loved them all.

[Philip]

I can tell you what car I regret NOT selling yet.

[4ngie]

My first BMW 84 325e, and my 90 E30 M3.

[Mitch]

Oh wow an E30 M3! That is a uber cool car! I want one...

[Philip]

My first BMW 84 325e, and my 90 E30 M3.

You SOLD an E30 M3?
I'm sorry to hear that. That makes me genuinely upset for you.

[MachSchnell]

My E30 was the one that got away. I had my hands on every nut and bolt on that car, everytime I see another one on the road I just sigh.:(

I'll miss my MkV GTI when it's gone though. The car is a wicked pisser to drive and is astoundingly well equipped for the price I paid.

[4ngie]

You SOLD an E30 M3?
Yeah :(

[Mitch]

Oh my GOD that is a sweeeeeet car! Sorry you sold it too!

[MachSchnell]

Yeah :(

Oh man, selling that had to make you feel bad. Can I ask what drove you to sell it?

[4ngie]

It was my hubby's daily and I guess he just decided he wanted something else. After he sold it, he started driving my E36 M3 and I bought an SUV. (I was a new mommy at the time.)

[mistertripps]

My first car was an '87 Ford Escort. Loved that car! Lots of great college memories in there. I came to Atlanta in 1990 for a training class and decided I needed a new vehicle to go with my new job. I bought a brand spanking new Toyota PU with 2 miles on the odometer. Spent the next five years broke trying to pay for it. I wish I'd kept the Escort and learned my lesson about car payments 20 years ago....

Oh man, what a pile of suck. That M3 is beautiful!

[4ngie]

Haha yep! We sold it to a friend though, and he drove it for a year or two before selling it to some guy up north.

[zeit00]

None. They where all crap compared to what I got now. :D

[SWINFORD]

My E36

Wish I still had it 1969 Z28.
