It's that time

Ive had really poor luck this past week so I'm selling my RA to pay for expenses. I'm 19 so my parents want me to "learn my lesson" so I am getting no help. Which is how I was brought up so it's fine with me. I'll be back to these forums some day, with an Evo. Some day. But thank you guys so much, literally every question I've asked you guys have answered. I love you guys! Some of the most down to earth people. I'll be here and there. But not very active I suppose. Next car: some $500 hoopty.

1st car was an 87 Fiero. ULTIMATE kit car. Yeah sounds like a POS, but it got me eventually to an Evo so I still love 2M4. "Learn your lesson" and come back stronger. The longer you drive a POS the more money you'll have to move out/do what you want. Don't resent your parents on this; it is absolutely the best gift they will ever give you if you understand why. In retrospect. Don't stay off the forum. Read, read, read, and when you achieve your goal of an Evo then you'll know exactly how you want to proceed with a build or help other newbs accomplish their dreams.

116,xxx and I do not resent my parents at all. This is a lesson. I absolutely regret what happened but definitely came out a more mature person. I will definitely be reading up on the Evo sub-forum,and perhaps come back to a nice RA. I love this car, especially as my first.

Absolutely love your response. This WAS your first car (maybe first new car) and forevermore will be your baseline. Remeber her, she was your first.

Kbb valued was 4.5 k in good condition. Which I say she's in. I probably would settle for 4k.

And dizaryl thanks man! And Lanzer I hear ya man. Maybe I'll get back in to it. At least what I hope. Love these RA I've seen one other ever in my life. Special machine.

3.5-4k seems like a fair price at that mileage...

damn. that sucks to hear man! my RA has been the only car that ive owned since i was 18. im now 23 and im just about to finish paying it off. luckily i managed to keep her despite being a lazy *** and not that much of a car know-it-all, i did my best to work hard just to pay off the payments and maintaining it. i honestly dunno what id feel if i have to sell it now, or ever really. but anyways best of luck to u man, make sure whoever bought it knows about this site also!

best of luck, it sucks that our cars are not worth ****. If you're only going to get $4k from it, I would try in every possible way to keep it. It does sound like you ****ed up bad, but maybe sell your personal stuff? loans from friends?
