I tend to agree with this for most people, C5 is only really worth it if you're an idiot like me - I probably could have bought a C6GS for what I have in my car but I like mine better. If I had the cash to start with the GS and mod from there, that would be a different story.

Yea, plus insurance costs would be less too.
Amazingly, my wife thinks I should call the dealer tomorrow once I know what the Pacer sells for to do the deal. I'm leaning toward that route, might be too late, doe. They were dealing to get the car off the books before they had to pay for it for another month. Not sure when they're new month starts, but I could hit them at a moment of desperation.

OH DANG! My perfect C5, near free due to high mileage (144k LOLZ). I could buy this thing without even touching my Pacer money. If the engine craps out, LS3 swap project.
HMMMmmmmmm

Definitely worth driving. If it is in good shape it will probably always be worth 10k. You could drive it for the cost of mods.

Black Superbee popped up in San Jose:
2013 Dodge Charger 4D Sedan SRT8 Superbee - $34992 (San Jose)
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ctd/4692821394.html
Could probably nab it for $33,000. Wish I was ready to move forward. Only problem is it doesn't have HID headlights. The ONLY thing I don't miss about those cars is the gas mileage.
I could put my $1000 mod egg into my payoff instead.. but then i'd still be stuck with my GTI for another year anyway, and extra bored. Might as well buy a mod to pass the next year. I might be even on the GTI payoff right now, but i need $3000-$4000 cash in it before I trade it in. Not to mention I would then be taking on a new 5 year $35,000 loan, when i only owe about $21,000 on this GTI right now.

Wow that car has had some epic depreciation....

Seriously, that's what I'm thinking. And it's probably only a few hours from me. Could be worth the trip just to see what it's like.
Yea, that's the only thing that concerns me. I'd upgrade the brakes, suspension, and tires anyway...and fluid and clutch doesn't scare me. I've done clutches before, and unless it's impossible on these cars, I'm sure I could handle it over the winter when I have nothing else to do.
But the engine maintenance...it has to have had regular oil changes, or it could be pretty well worn. That's what I'd need to see. The guy does seem pretty clueless too, which is a major concern.
Damn, they dropped fast. 8-speed in the new ones killing resale?
Intense depreciation, breh.
