BA! I need help deciding

Post by J-MoNeY »

I have this delema on my hands and I figure I'd ask you guys. To start off, I <3 my car to death. I've put enough time and work into it to make it prolly one of the cleanest SS's in Colorado. I am going to be moving to Arizona in January of next year and it's just not practical for me to have my Legacy. The main reason why is, because it doesn't have A/C (I have all the parts, but the IC and WRX coolant tank prevent that from going back in). My options are these: 1) I loved my crotch rocket and want another one, so I could store the car here during the school year and use it sometimes (maybe never) when I get back to CO during breaks and whatnot, and buy a older F2/F3. 2) I could sell the car. Cry a few days, then put a nice down payment on a 05 R1, R6, or 600RR. I'm sure I'd buy another Legacy, but I just don't want to start over and do all this painting, and engine swaping, and modding shit over again. 3) I could sorta lease my car out to someone who's willing. That means that they would take it, maintain it (Garage it, keep it clean, ect..), and drive it. Only they would pay me a fee to keep the car in their possession untill I want it back. They could mod it, ect, only with my permission though. I really haven't thought this idea though yet, but it sounds like an interesting endevor.

Hmmm, I say that you try to hold on to it or sell it to another legacycentral board member who can keep you up to date on her condition.

I'd MUCH rather sell it or loan it to a board member, because I know that *most* of them know how to treat one and would keep her in pristine condition.

You could sell it back to me and we could just keep trading it back and forth. :wink:

I can't even remember how much you bought it for.

I think I payed $1500 for it.

That's a damn shame if you drop that car after all the work you put into it.....unless you sell it to another board member. Then it's just barely exceptable. ;)

Take it to Arizona. Just roll the windows down. After you, you've put that much sweat into it.. what's a little more? (Besides, a car with no a/c is more practical than a bike)

You know that back in the good old days you had to walk 25 miles in the blistering heat with no shoes or cold water. So whats a little driving with no A/C Just put big chunks of dry ice behind yopur vents whenever it gets really hot (115+)

As nice as your car is and as much work as you've put into it, I would suggest keeping it. Either store or take it to AZ with you. One thing you have to remember about AZ is it's a 'dry heat', I don't have AC and I manage here in the summer when it hits 95+ with high humidity. If you have to sell it though, I'm sure there are board members who would help take it off your hands. That is a nice bike but I think you have a nicer car.

Yeah dry heat is easy to live with as the breeze actually cools. 103 degrees in Aswan (in November) with the breeze off the Nile was better than 80 around here with humidity. Plus if you work out doors, you'll be less likely to get sick from constant temp changes without A/C.

You could also weld the doors shut and make a roadster out of it.

Humm. I might just have to keep it. I do love seeing her when I come home from work. Although, if the price was right from an offer... :wink:
