Pros and Cons of Selling

[FLtrackdays]

It was in decent condition. Not showroom or anything, but it looked good for a 20 year old car. But my point is the fact that cars can, in fact, increase, or at least hold their value. And it's not a linear thing. My Rx7 slowly lowered in value, then slowly started gaining its value back.

$12k is roughly what they were going for at the time I sold it. Now I could sell it for double or triple that.

There's really no way to predict these things.

Hot damnnnnnn…. I miss that car. I had a blue RX7 and it was such a blast to drive. We traded it in for a 4 door BMW M3. That was also one of those cars we wish we kept.

Also, yes, the Miata is the most over hyped car in existence. Absolute turds.

Having been alive for and a license holder for all generations when released, I do not misunderstand why people seem to elevate them so much. I’m not even talking about power when I say they are over hyped turds.

The S2K is the same formula and not an over hyped turd.

That’s likely because it’s the most tracked car any given weekend. These things can take a licking and keep on ticking. Low HP but also low on weight. Maintenance cost are minimal and parts are abundant. Making it a great way to go for maximum track time. Also, being forced to momentum drive is priceless, imo. That skill can be used on any car thereafter.

If anyone recognizes a track they’ve been to, see what times they run. It’s amazing!

And you’re right, the S2K was a big vehicle jump up after being in the Miata/MX5

dave ramsay is okay for people that are awful at personal finance/self-discipline, but his guidelines are almost never the optimal way to do things

I didn’t care for him either. But it’s better than sticking your head in the sand and living YOLO style. Now the Money Guys however… Love me some FOO!
