Celica Forums General Discussion General Do you feel bad when selling your car?

I know this sounds odd, but does anyone else feel guilty when they part with a car that's treated them well? I received an offer for the Celica and now I'm really feeling the bond of having owned the car for two years. I'm sure I'll get over it once I have my new car for a while, but has anyone else ever felt this way before?

yes

yep, that'll happen

yes I abt cried when I sold the gts didn't help that I saw TONS of celicas that same day of all gens as well lol

yup. I had to sell my 01 jeep wrangler that i would wash like twice a week and keep it all tucked in. Man i loved that car. It was so much fun. But my parents didnt trust me driving 5 hours on highway with it up to shcool. Figured i would flip it going 90. I mean it is good iguess, it got like 13 mpg It was sad, but the dealership loved it becasue it was so clean when i traded it back. Its for the best, i love my celica now

If you have a car you get attached to its always hard to sell it. Expecially your first car.

Yeah, you end up having a bond with your car, and you're putting an end to it. But don't feel guilty about it. Just remember it for what it was, and enjoy the memories.

dude, i know how you and everyone must feel. we all know that its inanimate, but we still give it a name. we talk to "her" as if she could talk back, we baby her, we have fun, she lets us fuck inside of her ah, its like moving out of a house that you've grown up in, for me its a very hard thing to do.

like losing a friend...

Yeah, i know exactly what ur talking bout, thats why im never gonna sell my celi, because its gonna last me a while, and when it does get old, ill still keep it, just get a differetn car, because i have had a lot of memories in that car, everything from stupid cops pulling me over, to racing and loosing, racing and winning, and having sex in it, because in small towns, its a chick magnet, and thats where i live. Its nice to have a car thats not as common as most, its just plain old reliable, good car. Its like my partner in crime, not that i do any crimes!

yeah selling my baby to some stranger I would be depressed.

Yeah but as long as the car Im getting is an upgrade, the new car will make me forget all about my old one.

rookie when are you selling? that sucks so bad.

Doesnt sound at all odd to me.

That's why I have pics of my old RX-7 and Corolla GTS in my profile; they where both fun cars with lots of good memories and I still miss them.

I'm finally about to get that feeling...The 2005 G35 is in the very near future finally...It's gonna suck real bad to let it go.

I bought my 2000 GTS new and I will keep it forever.

I am lucky to have two vehicles (other one is a Nissan truck) so I only drive the Celica a couple of days a week for fun. It still seems like a new car and I never get tired of it.

This is my 1991 Alltrac before I sold it.



This is couple months after it was sold.



The word "feeling bad" is not enough.

OMG!!!!

My dad sold his 68 SS camero when he was like 20 becaue he could not afford it any more, and a week after he sold it the guy he sold it to hit a truck. completely gone. And this was complete race SS with blower and all. Needless to say he was crushed. Woudl like to find one later in life when i can afford it and rebuild it for him.

I was super happy when I sold my POS Focus ZX3 but when I had to give away the Celica GT, that was a different story.

I agree, when the car has treated you well, it is hard to just let it go like that. But man, when the car is a POS you will find ways to get rid of it with the quickness.

Selling my first car, a 95 corolla. I had a lot of fun with the car even though it only has 100hp. Im starting to feel bad as the date comes up but at the same time Im thinking "Gee I hope the guys buys my car" so its a mix bag of feelings. I think I had the car for about 3 years now and I put on about 50k on her, yet she still runs as strong as she did the first day I got her. Bye bye corolla coaster (I hope).

no no no im not selling! hell no! I was just saying that the fact of me having to sell my car would suck and make me all depressed and shit.

lol ooh, sorry didnt read it right.

Replacing cars or women...I feel bad only until an upgrade comes along!!

It was somewhat sad to say buhbye to my gen5 Celi, but the pain evaporated the second I took title of my Gen7 GTS! shwinggggg!!!!

damn Gary, that's sad poor all trac

The only car I missed or felt bad selling and I still miss it was my 1971 Chevelle I did a front end swap on it I put a '70 front end on it cause I thought it looked better then stock '71 front it also had a 475hp small block that I hand built. It was a beast I miss that thing the more and more I think about it

its worth it when you get an alltrac

thats a sad site for the all-trac!!! i'm a HUGE 5th GEN fan and it brakes my heart to see it like that!!!

I felt bad when i sold my 1990 cougar, knowing it would die soon.

not if the new car is better...


its like trading in your girlfriend for a better model...

i was glad to lose my first car for the celi. that thing was a piece of crap. but it has seen me and my friends through a lot of adventures in HS. ill be sad to see the celi go since ive put(and will put) a good amount into it
