To sell or not to sell... that is the question #firstworldproblems

[maxtdi]

So the TDI was always supposed to be my "commuter" car. I bought it because my 2002 C5 Corvette was a terrible daily driver due to ride height/quality and only 2 seats.

Since then and a bit to my surprise I completely stopped driving the Vette, I still love the car and its the one being garaged while my TDI is sitting outside, but I find myself thinking that it may not make sense to keep this car while I drive the GOLF.

Sadly the TDI is just too slow/boring for me... but with the Mk VII on the horizon I am pretty sure I'll be getting either a GTI/R or GTD pending pricing.

So it seems like the perfect time to let go of the car that I loved for over 5 years now

I can use the money to pay off the golf completely and get rid of car insurance and registration... which would amount to about $500 a month... which is nothing to sneeze at considering I am only driving it about 1500 miles a year.

I am just having a tough time letting go since the Vette is perfect to me… the right color combo, CCW wheels, exhaust mods etc.

Any suggestions?! Should I do it?! Or will I hate myself

I know its frustrating...

I changed so many things about the car to my liking:
Aftermarket Sub (hidden)
Short Throw shifter
Borla Exhaust
Vararam Intake
LED tails
HIDs
Car also has the Z06 sway bars/shocks and is slightly lowered.

you will hate yourself. i think about it everyday when i go home and i see my 71' Nova with spider webs coming from the body to the blacktop. my dad had a 69' Camaro he sold 17 years ago and everytime it comes up he gets so mad at himself for selling it. DONT DO IT.

I see you like how nice your vette is and you don't like the golf a lot because it is slow.
sell both cars and buy a brand new sport car, like audi RS3 or RS5...

Definitely don't sell the Corvette. There is obviously some love there that can't be replaced.

Kind of what I am thinking... but its more like S3/Golf R

Dont sell.

Don't sell it. Try to get a better insurance rate since you only drive it 1500 miles a year. I still hate myself for selling my 1990 964 Carrera...
Just my 0.02

Well its $50 a month... cheaper than my golf at $60 a month. But money is money.

Sell it!
Makes no sense keeping a car that your not driving and on that note it makes no sense paying off your tdi unless you have a high interest rate.
Pacing yourself for your next car makes more sense logically and (to a certain degree) economically

Well I am a car guy at heart... and driving the slowest golf in the lineup kind of kills me on the inside.

Rate is 2.99 but investing into the stock market makes no sense at the moment... it seems "Too damn high"

 

[svickstc]

dont sell it brah...you will regret it

looks killer man

+1 on cheaper insurance, i know what i had was only a rx8 gt but since i only drove it less than 3000 miles a year insurance was like 350 for the year...ya i said the year

Exactly why you shouldn't sell it. You'll never forgive yourself for selling a car you were in love with. I say keep it
