Take out your front LSD and mail it to me. That is the best advice that I have for you.

if you want the IX go for it. otherwise keep it. im kinda itching for IX RS, but the VIII will do....until i find myself with a pen in my hand at the dealership.

have you looked into what your VIII is worth?

Keep it! Since you will feel the same again next time when the X come out. Maybe at that time, you may save enough money for getting the X and immediately doing upgrade then. :-)

Keep it, save the money and do some mods. The 8's a great car. Plus dealerships are marking up the price of the 9, so u'll be over paying for it.

If you like (more) debt ... sell it!

Try building your equity in your car before you sell or mod it. Put the saving in your house fund, if you already own buy another.

Just my opinion.

ive never heard of equity in a car...maybe i misunderstood

anyway personal opinion, its a very bad idea to trade in, i dont care what anyone tells you, yes the payments might be the same but look how much more over time you will spend. i love the 8 and i am still skeptical about the nine...so i say take that money that (over time) u'll spend on payin for the 9 n mod ur RS...then see who is king of the road...lol

equity

n 1: the difference between the market value of a property and the claims held against it

In this case the property is 'the car'. Basically, we're saying the same thing. That he should 'own' more of his car instread of trading up. you add that he can use the $$$ saved on mods.

Keep it. The 9 doesn't warrant the upgrade. If I were you, I would wait for the 10, which should be a generation shift in the chassis.
