Eh this aint gonna be easy thats for sure! HAHA!
When I first bought the car I had a roommate that was pretty much paying the car payment with the rent he was paying me. This made having the car muuuuccchhhh easier. He moved out in February. While I can quite easily pay for and drive the car, it is putting a little bit of a financial burden on me since I own and pay for my house as well as all my other bills obviously. I figure with the way things are going I need to start saving more and being a little more fiscally responsible. I also want to have more money for vacations and travelling and such.
It is my daily driver. I am replacing it with an 02 to 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland edition. At this point I should be able to get one with around 75000 miles for 10k or less. This would reduce my car payment by more than half. I will also be much better equipped to deal with the harsh Iowa winter.
I plan on selling the car with all the mods as I dont really have the replacement parts. I have the 17" wheels with Blizzak WS-60s on them. I plan on offering them with the car for an aditional $450. I think having the mods will greatly help to sell the car as I have a pretty unique CTS. I think this will help as it is a real head turner.
Arg this car has been my baby for almost 3 years......
Dont worry though, I wont be leaving the forum!!
I realize I wont get 18k for the car but Im just using that as a jump off point. Im doing 18k OBO.
Also nothing is set in stone at this point.......
Once the GF moves in next year I will have my bills cut in half and will start preparing to buy something super fast. Likely a Gen 2 V (used) or a used G8 GXP.
