Buying used Redline or ss/sc

[Robinson]

Just remember you are gonna end up with less because of you mods, in your eyes it made the car better, to a dealer you messed it up.

i know of 1 quick car that looks great in canada... it's an avenger thats boosted and body kitted.

I did a quick kbb lookup on it and had to based it on us mileage andcosts, and even in excellent condition the trade in is like 14k us, so like 15.5k canadian i approximate.


I can nearly guarantee you will be more upside down than you think.

Worst possible thing I could do. It will be sold privately and/or payments taken over by someone else, one way or another I will be almost even when the ss/tc is sold and I will be at least $10k less in debt.

i can guarantee you that you CANNOT compare US and Canadian used auto sales, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MARKET.

ss/sc's and ion redlines are less likely to be molested up here, not as many young ppl up here have money so those cars are driven by mature adults for the most part. The one ion redline i'm looking at was lady driven from day 1 by a mature adult. I found a few ss/sc's for about 10k CND but 8k is basically my budget so Ion redline is basically what I'll end up with unless I go cheeper and get 2 cars a DD and a track car, I have options for that too which include a 2.2 Cobalt.

If you can do it more power to you, but I'm just being a realist.

Im not doubting what you say by any means.

I just know that we all think our cars are worth a certain amount, but the rest of the world doesnt think they are worth the same that we do.

I'm prepared to sell it for $18k if all else fails but there is more options available to me up here that I have listed here, I will be ok.

i would die on a bike, i would be WORSE than in my ss/tc, i'd run from cops, thought about it today......plate WAS covered over........In the end tho I want 2 cars, 1 for track and 1 for DD, it's better that way for me, to each their own.

Start selling stuff, don't eat out as often, stop spending money, get a basic jobby job.
Otherwise...
You're going to have to sell it out right being upside down and then get another car. Best of luck becasue that is a daunting task.

I have barely anything, i eat out once every 2 months if that and have been doing that for over a year now, i don't spend money on anything anymore beyond daily needs(again been doing that for over a year now) and I've been looking for a basic job for 3 weeks putting resumes out everyday, shit is fuked up here for trying to find a job.
