Default would you keep the tc?

recently it seems like a lot of people are moving on to different cars, so i wanted to put it in to a poll. lets say you have the funds you can keep building your tc without worrying about being sort on money for life. or you can afford car payment on a new car whatever you style is RWD FWD AWD sport luxury, but nothing to nuts let say 20-30k max what would you do? and why?

If it were a year or two ago, I'd get rid of it. But todays economy.......as the old saying goes "it's cheaper to keep her"!

dont trade in if you dont have to.. there will always be newer and better cars and you will be buying a car every 1-2 yrs if you that becomes your habit..

I voted to get a new car. Actually I wouldn't get a new car as I can no longer afford to insure 5 vehicles, 2 of which I am still paying for. tC is the most expensive (payment + insurance + gas) BTW selling for $15,000

i agree with today economy keeping the tc is a good idea, but i was asking if money wasn't really your first worry.

with that said i myself wouldn't sell the tc today. id keep working on it until its time for a new car then id up grade. maybe the tc replacement.

i would keep it....but of course if money wasnt the issue and if you grow tired of the car get a new one... but save money, finish school etc. or what ever your first priority is in life then worry about the wants....fulfill the needs first then get wants....reward yourself later in life get a 80-100k+ car lol but seriously keep it unless you starting a family or decide to buy a buttload of dogs and you need room for them lol IDK.....

after putting on the turbo, i've further realized how much i hate fwd. spinning through 1st and 2nd on pretty good tires sucks. which means i need an lsd, which is expensive. then i have to get it installed, which is also expensive. after buying the car new for 20g's and change, i've dropped almost 10g's in a year and a half. should of waited for the new sti lol. i'd trade for that if money wasn't an issue.

it's not money that's an issue right now, I have too much stuff to pay for so I'm keeping the tC. In a year or two, I plan on trading in for a new Scion or selling for a Celica (2005) or Integra...altho the Challenger caught our eye last night but the gas mileage ...I think it's a good time to get a deal on a new car.

no getting a good rate is the issue right now..., I'll rephrase:

I think it's a good time to get a deal on a new car., but money is not an issue right now, it's getting a good rate.

I'd wait until the new rwd tc or toyota or whatever comes out and then sell my tc and get that.
