Unhappy "I should've never sold that car"

Post a car you regret selling

I'll start: My first German car. MB C230 Kompressor coupe with supercharged 2.3L; Bought brand new in 2002...drove it for 6+ years/117K miles. It was a tank, not one problem. Wish I still had it..lots of memories
Not my car in the pic, but looked exactly like it (Black/Black with AMG sport wheels and panoramic sunroof)

My '01 Z06 - Bought it used stock, did some aesthetic mods, and cammed it putting out 440rwhp and still getting 25+mpg on the interstate. Loved the raw power and handling of that car. The E92 is a much more 'refined' car, but I still miss that Vette...

I miss driving the Lotus, not owning it. I miss the payments and satisfaction of owning the GTI. I smiled from ear to ear every time I walked up to it. Loved that thing!

'68 GTO. No pics here at work, but she was no show car. That was the final step, which I never quite go to. Spent plenty of time and effort on the drivetrain though....

our family had an olddd honda civic that we "had" to sell back in 2001. may not be the best looking car but it was damn reliable and i think we've only had ONE problem with it that we had to get fixed and i think it had to do with the AC. when i ask the parents about it now they always think "oh after looking at everything i dont think we ever had to sell it"



except ours was one of those really light green kinda colors. hard to explain. but i sure do miss it

I shoulda kept:

1. 1998 E39 528i. I think the E39 still looks beautiful. I would have only been happy getting rid of it for an E39 540i sport or M5.

2. 2004 E46 325ci. I love the E46. Again, only would have been happy replacing it with an E46 M3.

I got rid of both cars due to high mileage and fear of maintenance. Stupid me. Not that I can complain, I've since had an E60, E90, and now an E92. But those cars were special, and I woulda saved a good deal of money had I kept them.

My 2003 Tiburon. Had it boosted, on coilovers. My auto-x machine. 347HP to the ground




I could pick a tire off the ground almost 6" on some curbs with that thing all day long... rode like a brick shit house.

I regret getting rid my 07 E63. Doesn't get much better than a white car with a black roof IMO.

No pics but TL A-Spec 6MT. I sometimes really wish Honda hadn't decided to go the wrong route and forget what made them good. Will go back once they get the passion back. Still have a little fund for a fun car like hopefully the new S2000 or NSX (if it isn't >$80,000)
