What would you do in my situation?

[pauly]

I've got a 96 Dodge Avenger that has a pampered 104,000 miles on it. It's paid off. I've also got a 2000 Harley Sporster with only 2000 miles. I owe $6000. I'm 22 years old.

Would you:
1. Take advantage of our fallen economy and purchase a new car AFTER you sold the bike?
2. Keep em both and wait until the car dies to get another one (then the bike MAY or MAY NOT have to be sold to afford it).

I'm so stuck on what to do. Say I go with 1, what would I get? A used Caddy or Lexus, a new Mustang convertible, an SUV, or a new or used BIG truck (f 250 Diesel). Whatever I choose it HAS to stay under $30,000. What do I do?

Run the dodge into the ground... cars are the biggest wastes of money...and its hard to get that through younger peoples (men) head.. You pay 25 thousand for a vehicle (more like 30 k after interest) and 5 years later you have a car that is worth 8-10 k. Not a good investment.. run the car into the ground...I would probably keep the bike as harleys hold their value pretty well... Save up as much money as you can an put a downpayment on a house....... now is a great time to buy a home.....

if anyone asks, it was a crime of passion

Yeah, definitely keep the bike, run the car to shit. You'll probably be pissed if you sell the bike to get a new car, when it sounds like you could have both a little later anyway. Bikes do depreciate quite a bit less than cars too.

get rid of the bike. harleys are for faggots. get yourself a decent car.

WHY DONT YOU SELL THAT USED UP AVENGER SINCE ITS PAID OFF AND PUT THAT DOWN ON A NEW VEHICLE. I'M 23 NOW BUT SINCE I WAS 21 I HAD A HONDA CBR, MUSTANG 5.0, AND A 4X4 XCAB LARIAT FULLY LOADED F150. WHATS THE PROBLEM??? ITS VERY FEASIBLE. AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO STAY UNDER 30 GRAND. IF YOU WANT AN SUV, CHANCES ARE IT WILL BE MORE THAN THAT. IF YOU BUY A USED LEXUS YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE. BUY A NEW CAR. MY NEXT ONE SOON WILL BE A BMW OR A LEXUS I.S. OR THE LITTLE SUV LEXUS.

REALIZE WANT YOU WANT, AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY PAULY.

AND GO FEED THAT LITTLE DOG OF YOURS. MAYBE IT WILL GROW. LOL JK

You pay $200 a week for groceries and a week later you have $0 worth of piss and shit. Not a good investment.

A car isn't meant to be an investment. A car is meant to be "buy a car and drive it."

Sell the car.
Sell the bike.
Buy a 2002 Maxima.

Just keep the car and make a car payment to your self. Then when the car dies or you find a good deal you'll have some cash to throw down.
