I am having a dillemma and NEED HELP!!!
I am seriously thinking of selling my Intrepid.
I have a few reasons for thinking about this decision.
One, my job is no longer 35 or 50 miles away. It's only 10 miles both ways. I don't need a car that can drive long distances in comfort anymore. The only thing that I need to drive over 30 miles for is to see my girlfriend. So, I might buy an inexpensive car, like an older (98 or 99) Neon. I had a 95 (god helped me alot with it), so I know the Neon's quirks inside and out (goes without saying).
Second, doing this will free up money for me to by my weekend car: this. I've been seriously looking at DeLoreans for over four years, basically when I was deciding to get a new car. I tried to buy one right before I got the Intrepid, but I had no credit. Now, after a credit card and two years of car payments, I think I can easily get a loan for it. There's a large mailing list of owners and parts are easy to get: the plant inventory was bought and shipped to Houston in '96 for hopes of rebuilding the cars, but the stainless stamps were thrown into the Atlantic. But I digress...
So, I'm thinking of taking the $435/month payment and putting it into two cars. One to tool around in for work, and one for weekend cruising.
Now, I need to convice my GF and parents if I actually decide to go through with this.
PLEASE give me your thoughts.
