everyone it seems like wants my car....the love it, they love the speed, they love the flames.

I got an offer.....here it is


2000 chevy s10 extreme, 36,000. Custom red paint, lowered, wheels, hard top cover for bed, 2000 stereo system......and a few other things...

he wants to trade me straight accross for my rx7??? would I be freiking nuts....the only thing I could think of would to trade him and sell it for a little more and get an fd???

 

Is his truck paid for? 4.3 or 2.2? Extended cab or regular cab?

 

not the extended cab.....has the 2.2 liter....

100% paid for....straight accross trade..

 

It'd take that truck+ about 5 grand to get a third gen.

 

i need a lot of input!!!!

 

Take it and sell it and get an FD

 

seems like you put so much heart and soul into your car! with re-doing the body, the mods, and weren't u gonna get a turbo upgrade? if you're that set on getting an FD and think this is the right step, then go for it. but otherwise you probably haev one of the nicest T2's around, and if still puts a smile on your face, keep it!

 

Thats only like a $10K truck. Thats one hell of a beater FD.

 

The trade of truck ---> FD wouln't be straight accross, you'd need to scrounge up at least another 5k.

 

Yeah, I kinda said that 3 posts up

 

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Just my 2 cents.

 

OK, in a perfect world you trade your FC for and S10, find some sucker to buy it for 15K because it has pretty paint, then buy an FD in DECENT shape that blows up in less than a year and you spend a couple thousand on a rebuild.

In reality, you trade your FC for the S10, but find that the pretty red paint doesnt help the price at all. You promise yourself for the next 2 years that your going to sell the truck as soon as you get an offer over 10k, which doesnt come. So here you are, 2 years later driving a truck that has depreciated immensely, and you still want another RX7. So what do you do? You sell it and take the 6k you get for it and buy another FC

That seems like a lot of work just to get another FC. Keep your car and forget this straight up trade nonsense. Why would you want to get rid of your car anyway?

 

thanks guys....i quess I would be a dumbshit for trading it...im not going to do it

 

personally i would do it. thats a pretty nice truck.. my friend has one, and they are pretty damn nice and comfy.. and with 36k on it! it will last forever!

scott

 

it is pretty comfy............

 

No, do not do it! I can't stand the way those customized little trucks look. How you could go from an amazing sports car to that...

Don't trade. Please.

 

If your gonna do something psyco like that, let me get my wrecked '90 GTU on a flat bed, drive it up there and we'll trade. Thats about how good the trade would be for the truck. But if you would like I'll trade ya............

hehehe.....i really don't think ill trade....

it would just be cool to have a newer vehicle 2000, with low miles, reliable......never have to work on it.......

 

NNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Please don't do it!!

 

Please keep the FC I would not trade my FC for anything, it has special meaning to me. I just add new vehicles to my stable.

 

I'm with 12thRegister.

 

I think I know where an FD is for about 9K I will look for it again and let you know
