Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest Thinking of selling the SVT

I've been thinking...

I wondering if a sporty car is what I need right now. If it weren't my only car, I'd be more ok with it. I'll miss the power and the handling, but I drive like a puss anyway. Maybe once I'm makin' the PA bigbucks I'll buy something fun.

I kinda just want something to putt around in. I'd also like something that's a little better in the snow. Granted, the SVT would be a lot better in the snow if it didn't have summer tires on it...

Since I'm in the midst of test season, (at least one a week from now until Dec. ) I may not be doing much about it right now. We'll see. I might sell it then look for a car over winter break. I'd register it here in UT - instate tuition would save me 8K a year, and I'd need to reg. the car here if I wanted to get instate.

Just thinking aloud (and postponing studying... )

If you really want to get rid of it let me know I would love to get the SVT I wanted to get

I'm thinkin' AWD and under 9K. Found quite a few Outbacks and Legacy GTs that fit that description. 98-00 range w/ decent milage, too.

It'd be nice to put some $ into the pocket if I sold my car, but we'll see. ( <----Wishful thinking)

Maybe I'll buy a rust-bucket pickup to beat around in for these next few years. I wouldn't feel bad if I didn't wax it...ever.

If I sold my car to a CEGer, I'd include the extra honed UIM and all the stock parts (that I sill possess).

I think Scot would have been the person to talk to about missing the Duratec, but apparently Kore has her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Being serious though, we havent had a 'bad' winter here in a long time. Last winter I was commuting on all-seasons and did just fine. Plan on doing the same thing this winter too but I now only have a five mile commute.

If your wanting something not as powerful, I will gladly trade you cars (but not payments, $79/mo is nice).

She's paid off... Gov't jobs kick ass in pay.

your car is nice as hell, its paid for, and you will lose tons of $$$ in all those nice mods you have on there. why not just get some all seasons or snow tires and call it a day? i dont think its worth the trouble [to sell it]. and as soon as you are driving around in a beater, you will be kicking your own a$$ daily for selling your svt (you know its true ). just switch the registration and start saving your extra cash for a balla car when you are done with school.

oh, and i drive mine in the snow, i really dont think the 'tour does that bad (even with just all seasons). last year was my first time in the white stuff too! never any problems.

just my .02.

A guy I have heard of in Denver is selling this, this would be in my driveway if it was not for the pimp action planned for the SVT this spring ! I feel you pain Derk, thats why I bought the wife the AWD and I have my truck. 1200 lbs. of sand in the truck and it can go anywhere !!!! Resale blows, so I would keep your car, and its paid off, thats awesome, low miles too. Just buy a beater for the winter. I found a 90 Accord for $700.00 Runs great, you could curb the hell out of it ! lol Dont sell your car ! Thats my .02 well closer to $1.02 -B.
