Is Trading Up The Right Thing To Do?

[alfman9]

Well guys, take a look at the car in my sig. Then let me say that I just won a Brand New 2004 V6 coupe deluxe in a drawing at a local dealer for good grades. Now the question is, do I pocket the change earned on selling the six banger, or trade it and my old ride on the last 2004 Cobra coupe(Redfire, chrome wheels). Such a delima.
p.s. - I'm only 18 and will be starting college in a week.

lucky ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of course you should trade up if you can afford the insurence

Dude, this could be a very good thing if you play your cards right. Dont go trading in either car!! Sell them individually, youll get way more money. Buy a used 03 Cobra with 3,000 miles on it for $25,000 cash and pocket the other $5,000-8,000.

I can get the new 04 for $27,385 out the door!

Don't be silly man, this could be a good thing for you- Sell the cars yourself individually, you'll come out further ahead. It may take more time, but yo'll do much better to have the cash in hand.

I say pocket the profit on the v6 and use it to pimp out your dorm room. I wish I had an extra 20K when I was going through school - would've come in handy........beer, women, cd's, maybe a couple of books.

what the hell do I know - you'll probably get more tail with a Cobra

If I were you I would sell the V6 and use some of the money to do some nice mods to the GT. You will have plenty left over for extra spending money. Your only 18, your not suppossed to have a cobra yet. It took me till 33 to be able to afford one. JK. Do what you feel is best for you financially at this time.

 

[MY Cobra]

I got my cobra when i was 18. lol it is weird going to the shows and being the only guy under 20. having everybody say "where is your dad i want to talk to him about his car" I am thinking my dad does not know anything about my car.
