im in kind of a dilema here folks. as most of you know, i bought a new car (2004 Mazda 3). well since owning it, i've been thinking about selling my bagged 1995 Ford Ranger Splash. heres a list of pros and cons about keeping or selling the Ranger:
pros:
- its paid for
- its been in my family for about 10 years or so
- i have put alot of time and money into it
- i have won a few trophies with it at car shows
- people recognize me at shows with it
cons:
- its running like shit right now. i think the exhaust system needs replaced
- the suspension needs more work done to it
- needs bodywork as some parts are rusting from "friends" work on it
- it doesnt get driven except on nice days. it stays parked in the garage for the most part
im sure theres more but part of me feels like its time to move on. now i can afford to keep both vehicles but ive kinda lost some motivation on the Ranger. if i sell the Ranger, i would use part of what i get from the sale to make a nice payment on the Mazda and put the rest away but use some of it for a few items i want for the Mazda (rear spoiler and lowering springs for starters). i dunno what to do. im confused. if i sell it, i dont wanna sell it to a local person because i dont wanna see it after i sell it. what to do...what to do. lemme hear you alls suggestions and ideas.
