I haven't been on the board lately but I thought I'd come to you guys and get some advice. I've owned a 1997 Integra GS since 2000. Mechanically its in great condition, interior is great, but has some stone chips and whatnot. I purchased a 1994 MKIV TT Supra about 6 months ago with the intention of selling my Integra (which is paid off). I've been posting the Integra for sale without much luck and lately the KBB prices have taken a nose dive (presumably due to RSX). So now I need to decide whether to sell the integra and take a crappy price (=loss) or keep it as a second car (which I don't really need).

I'm still in grad school so it doesn't make much financial sense to keep the Integra (although I could). On the other hand it kills me to take such a loss on a what is a great and reliable car.....

Any advice?

 

if you have a supra why in the world would you keep an integra

 

IMO, you should sell the teg. There's no sense in keeping it if you don't need it. It's either sell now for less, or sell later for a lot less. On the other hand, I think it's a good second car. There's no way I would daily drive a Supra in the cold Winters I encounter.

Whether or not you should take the loss is up to you. You lose either way...just pick the option where you lose out the least.

 

It's already paid off. Keep it if you have the garage space. Insurance isn't significantly different to have a second car. If you could use the extra money, sell it. But then if you could use the extra money you wouldn't have acquired a Supra in the first place.

The teg would make a wonderful daily driver for those times that you don't feel like commuting around in something that gets 15mpg.

 

Okay, what do you guys think is a reasonable asking price for the car if I decide to sell. I appreciate the opinions but it looks like you folks are just as split on the issue as I am. I wish my girlfriend would just buy the damn thing

 

dude,

keep the teg for daily drivin. why drive that supra every day and risk the chance of it gettin scratched or whatever while its sitting in the parking lot of grad school? seriously man.. someone will buy it. just be patient. take a little loss... but not a significant amount. advertise it man... it helps bigtime.
