Celica Forums General Discussion General Keep Jetta or sell it

Guys i need to get a descion soon so i know what to start saving for... I am going away to college in about and year and a half... and as you know i currently own a Jetta 2.0 should i keep this car till it dies (keep modifing it and that sorta stuff) or start saving now and buy an RX-8 (i just love what they come with sporty car with navigation with 4 doors and... its just my kind of car, and i can get one used for 20,000)... i am open for suggestions because i really have no idea

Well, I'd look at how your College expenses will work with getting a car. Are your school expenses already covered?

wouldn't modify ur car any more..u can use that money and save it for ur future car and college

well after scholarships.. (don't know what i will get yet, but if i play lacrosse in college i will get some kind of aid, and my college fund that i have set) i still may have to ask my parents for some money...

I'd say (as much as the RX-8 is cool) keep the Jetta, keep moding, it'll be less money in the long run

If there's enough money to cover everything, then I'd say yeah, sink more money into cars. But if there isn't, school should obviously come first. After you're done with school will then be the time to spend again on cars.

For the time being, I'd definitely stop sinking money into the Jetta though. You don't really know what your situation will be yet, so I'd just save everything I could.

Personally, I'd go with the RX-8. I like 'em.

sell it...Jettas are womens cars unless its the 1.8T or the GTI. You can get much better cars for around 20,000

jetta's are gay anyway
get rid of it

k well once i get all my stuff back in from the break in... i will start saving money

I saw mod your car gracefully..not too much but just enough save for the rx8 at the same time!

Keep the jetta, stop modding and concentrate on college. After college get yourself a better car depending on how much money you earn/have left from college.

Sell it, the rx 8 is a better car. Yourll be more happy with it in the end

get a bike.

hell yea get a bike. I was sick of the celica so i got a bike. There goes the need for wanting a faster car. welcome to the 6000 dollar world of 10 seconds

keep the car and do that, mod=problems in future.

or just sell that is and get something better, could pull off a brand new stang 300 hp for about 24k.

go rx8

i hope you know sum stuff about rotaries

i am learning slowly about the rotarie engine.. i am reading the RX-8 forums to get clues on stuff that is going on with them

RX-8 is sweet go for it

Rx-8 is hot w/ the suicide doors

sell it & save for college.

when you graduate & get a nice paying job, buy whatever the heck you want

wow...i actually agree with caleb for once.

don't get me wrong. the "8" is a great car (don't listen to idiots telling you it's under-powered blah blah blah). it's got a 50-50 weight dist., rwd, and with simple breather mods you can 'up' the power real quick.

But once you get out of college there will always be better cars out there...save now. go to school. and who knows...mazda might make an rx...9?

when i get the hell out of college..theres no way im going to be a toyota, mazda, honda, acura whatever...not when there's european imports like bmw, mercedes & ferrari.

nice $$ deserves nice car...and a piece of snapped-together asian plastic & metal isn't gonna cut it.

who's gonna buy it for you?? My gyno money??

so if you buy a new car...u wont be JettaMan no more

hey buddy. deff stick with your jetta. 1st, the rx-8 needs premium i am pretty sure so wahts goign to cost a fortune. And college itslef. there are so many expenses you dont htink about. Also jetta is bigger to transport more stuff. Save your money or end up poor like me

^^ you're celica needs premium too..since you drive a gts. and yea, gas is a pain.

according to my totally unscientific calculations..i actually 'save' $$ by buying premium for my gts...i put regular in a few times when i was flat out broke and my gas mileage totally sucked
