well... i guess as long as you buy a bimmer next, then it's fine.. lol!

LOL! No wouldnt be buying a BMW, & I didnt want it to come out this way, but let me explain...

I have been struggling with the thought for a while, and decided to do it and see what happens. I love the G & have put so much into it, but Im at a crossroads right now. Either sell it now, or keep it for good. Reason being is I need a Truck/SUV for room for me and my family of 4. The Galant is just not enough room to suit our needs anymore.

My wife's Altima is a ways from being paid off, and she commutes a good distance to and from work & I dont. So she needs to keep her gas efficient vehicle; not get a gas guzzler. She is against me selling the car bcz she knows how much I love it & I have put into it, but understands my desire for having a truck.

Im looking at Tahoe's & Suburban's because thats what I fit in most comfortably and thats whats within my budget. If it was an ideal situation, (meaning I had more $$$) I would buy a truck/SUV, & keep the G & turn it into a wknd autocross track beast. But thats not how things are so, it is what it is. If Im not offered what its worth to me out of a sale, then I will keep it.

Don't feel bad. I'm at a crossroads myself. Though for different reasons, it's still a hard decision. What's meant to happen, will happen.

Thx man, but I still do. Whats your reason for selling?

not exactly selling it yet, but parting it out and selling it with stock parts would make a decent improvement towards a down payment on a house this year. The other potential reason is I'm considering 3000GT VR-4's and Stealth R/T TT's. But I might just keep it. It's always hardest to part ways with something you've put so much time, work, and money into.

Pssh you won't need anything that big.

Get a station wagon.

More than enough room. More fun to drive (than comparable SUV's/Vans/heck some are more fun than the G). Better on gas, trust me you'll hate Tahoes/Suburbans. Plus they look cool.

Naw, not a fan of station wagons myself. I like trucks way more. Ive had a few friends who have Hoes & Burbans, & Ive driven them before. Theyre pretty easy to drive IMO, in contrast to the big ass FedX trucks I drive for a living.

LOL! What you guys fail to realize is that my whole family is tall. Im 6'3", wifey is 5'7", daughter is 5'9", & my son is ahead of his age wearing 9 month old clothes and he's not even 4 months yet. Rt now only 2 of us + my sons car seat fit in the car (bcz no1 can fit behind me). Most station wagons dont have anymore leg room, they just have extra cargo space. Trucks have additional leg room unlike sedans and wagons.

Why not save up slowly for an SUV and just keep the galant, unless you're truly sick of the car, you're not going to get back how much you invested, if you want the most money, you'll have to part it out and sell it stock. Best of luck with whatever your decision may be.

If the car doesnt sell for what I want, then that is exactly what I'll do. I know I wont get back what I invested, but you gotta "chalk that up to the game" when u modify your car. Its a bad investment in most cases. I dont have the heart to tear her down and part her out back to OEM. Thats like destroying my own work of art IMO. Too much work and not worth it to me.
We'll see what happens...

UPDATE:
As of right now the Galant is no longer for sale. My best friend is interested in buying it, but is awaiting some more funds to come around. So if and when he does come up with some dough, I will prob sell it to him. Bcz I know he would take care of it and not let it go to pieces. So until then she's still here...
