possibly selling the SC GT !!!!

gtfpv · 26-03-2013, 06:35 PM

Wife has new job , where she can lease vehicles which willl be replaced every 6 months , anything from a barina to a BMW . I wont go into details but lets just say its a pretty good offer , imagine leasing and updating every 6 months for less than the cost of buying .
to put it blatantly we may sell our 2011 GT PURCHASED UNDRIVEN IN FEB 2012 SC 6SPD AUTO WITH STRIPES TINTS AND LEATHER , 17,000KMS CONCOURSE CONDITION . STOCK AS A ROCK .
UNSURE WETHER I CAN PART WITH IT YET , BUT THE THOUGHT IS THERE .

Problem is, that $100k is barely entry level 5 series or speced up 3 series, you'll need $200k to replace the performance of the GT.....?

....and be nothing like the GT. Keep it, otherwise I think you'll miss it later on.

Nice car . Unsure yet

mcnews · 26-03-2013, 06:58 PM

Why not get rid of it, it will only be superseded in due course anyway, cut your losses at this early stage will be much less costly. You might still get 50k it for now if you are lucky.

Mr Beige is on the money here, I've had 2 new cars, not good when you get bored of them and its not worth a pinch of goat guano.

Here is another one

Her car her choice.

Let me guess she will be working for Suby and has option of taking new subies every 6 months and then it gets auctioned to the dealers.
Just remember the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Keep the GT. Get a new wife.

AndyXR6T · 26-03-2013, 07:30 PM

Keep the GT. The excitement of getting a new car every 6 months will wear off real quick, then you will never have true appreciation for a car again... Plus you have a freaking GT, they are a pretty damn cool car

4vdean · 26-03-2013, 07:53 PM

Lease a new gt every 6 months !

What he said.

**MercurySilver** · 26-03-2013, 09:05 PM

Why get rid of it at all?
If u can afford to have it in the first place how come u can't when she gets a new job....which obviously pays well????

Don't see a prob myself

Iggypoppin' · 27-03-2013, 02:59 AM

Yeah not following the logic here. You have one car that you drive and the wife will be getting her own car leased.
Keep GT and get the new bimmer??

Rodge · 27-03-2013, 06:30 AM

Yeah I don't see the issue either. There's a few of us on here with FPV's and Euro cars as well. Why not have the best of both worlds if you can afford it.

Russ · 27-03-2013, 08:24 AM

Wrap the GT in cling wrap, put it in a big sealed container and bury it in the yard, dig it up in 50 years or so and it will be worth a fortune

All jokes aside though, as others have said it's a GT, keep it if you can afford to, the way things are panning out with cars nowadays, chances are in the not too distant future you'll only be able to buy a GT with 2.0 ecoboost engine in it anyway, that's not the real deal :(

csv8 · 27-03-2013, 08:07 AM

Can she lease an SRT 8 ??

ANGEL#3 · 27-03-2013, 08:16 AM

Does you wifes work still have any jobs going. Thats a good deal.

And yes i'm lookig for new job and that sound good.

GQ_Smooth · 27-03-2013, 08:44 AM

I don't beleive the lease is "free", he may not be able to afford paying off the GT and paying a lease for a new car.

My 2cents, get rid of the GT now, lease what ever you like, them hold off for the last FPV Falcon and get your hands on one of those, it's potentially only 3 years away (hopefully more).

BTW and 100K BMW, isn't that special (IMO a GT is more special). If you can justify $150ish in lease payments for a M3 then your talking something special.

**MercurySilver** · 27-03-2013, 09:39 AM

well if you have a personal loan on an 80 grand car you have more money than sense
if its been tagged on to the house over 20 years its a bit diff

so she gets a work car but has to pay for it on some kind of lease?
i dont see that as getting a work car myself

Why would you tag an 80k car onto your mortgage? Cost a bucketload in the end.

I was thinking the same thing. Obviously your mortgage interest rate would be lower than a automotive finance interest rate but over the time period it would alot more dollars

really?
wouldnt it depend on how much the mortgage is?
how much is left on it?
the interest rate?
if you are locked in?

if you had a 400 grand mortgage it wouldnt be wise would it??
but if you had a 180 grand mortgage the repayments would be less than paying some rent prices in my area

or
you could try getting a personal load for the car.....and pay around 14% interest
