CO should i sell my turbo SA?

I posted my car on ebay but after so many years owning my SA i dont know if i just should keep it. I have (4) RX7s a new camaro SS and a new honda pilot so thats why i just decided to put on ebay and just keep the stock GSLSE and just sell the other RX7s. what you guys think ?

I just noticed today that you had your car up for sale. It is def a special piece and I can understand the hard time you are having parting with it. At least you have other rotary toys to fill the void, but I bet none of them sound as sweet as a bridged turbo. Good luck with whatever decision you make...but my dumb *** would sell everything else and daily the SA...lol!

Sell the other RX-7's and keep the Turbo. It's too unique to sell.
Turbo FB's (and Turbo SA's) are a rare breed indeed.

problem solution= throw keys for the chamaro INSIDE your rx7, then if you want to drive the camaro you'll have to get inside the rx7 to do so. then you will already be inside the rx7 and may as well drive that. this is how my lazy american brain works....

Not an easy question and one that has to come from within. Owning several vehicles can be burdensome or stressful. Even if they are paid for they are seldom free. If they are nice you want to store them inside which if you don't have the space means finding it. You have the question of insurance. Do you or don't you? If not you run the risk of a heafty fine in todays shrinking city budgets. A lot of times, the more mechanical things you own, the more things you have that need fixing. Even if you don't drive them, they will degrade and end up just as broke. I think you need to ask yourself if the responsibility / hassle is worth the enjoyment you get back out of owning them.

If you had to ask then you really dont want to. Piensalo bien, si lo vendes ahora mas tarde vas a querer tenerlo otravez y vas a tener que empesar desde el principio. Creeme yo lo e hecho muchas veces.

^+1

I sold my turbo FB and kicked myself for doing it.
Lucky I was able to buy her back 3 years later.
Don't sell it if you dont have to.

If you really want it gone, I'll take it for free no questions asked.

Seriously though, I'd keep it. I've never sold and RX-7 and not regretted it and none of mine have been that nice.

She's beautiful and well-crafted and maintained. I'm sure that even though it has a huge chunk of cash invested its sentimental value should weigh about the same. My opinion, good luck with whatever you decide.
