I am planning on purchasing a 2007 Tiburon as soon as they are available. Initially I was planning on keeping my 99, but as the time get's closer I feel it would be best to trade it in or sell it. I have a few mods waiting to be installed and I am trying to decide if I should do it, or sell them. Below is the list of things I have waiting.

Airram Intake Manifold - Bored to 70mm by Redzman.
Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacer
60mm Oz-Flow Throttle Body - Needs minor repair.
AEM UEGO - Will probably save for 2007
Splitfire Oil Temp Gauge - Will probably save for 2007
Splitfire Oil Press Gauge - Will probably save for 2007
Steel-Braided Brake Lines - Not sure if they are safe.

I have the following items that can be easily removed for parting out.

AEM CAI
KSPEC Front and Rear Strut Bars
Apexi SAFC II
Apexi N1 Catback Exhaust - Not that easy... wink1.gif

What is your input on this? It is only about a year and a couple of months before the new ones are available. We all know the value of a modded car is no higher than an unmodded one if you are trading it in.

 

Give them all to me. fing02.gif



No, seriously. sad.gif


I would pay off your Tib if you haven't. Then buy the new one and have both. It's not like you'll be getting much for the 99 anyways.
I want to have both. cool.gif

 

well ill take the airram...

and since redz is close to me no shippin

i can't believe its almost the 2007 model year!

i say keep the RD. they're classics. lol. sorta.

 

I say keep it, and not because it's an RD, but because you know the car and it's nice to have a paid off car sitting there. Turn it into a trailor queen or give it to one of the kids.

 

If I keep it that would mean I would have three car payments for at least two years. Most of my debts will be paid off Nov 2006, but I would rather not have three car payments. As far as saving it for one of my kids, my oldest doesn't turn 16 until 2012!

 

How would you have a car payment after next year?
Do you have more than $3k left?? You should easily be able to pay off $3k by that time, and if not, there's no way that selling the car would pay that amount off cause it sn't worth it.
I would work on paying it off first. Having no car payments = teh win!

 

i still say give me the airram....

 

I called the mods first bastard! Besides my turbo needs it. nana.gif

pssst, still say keep the car!!!

 

^^LOL, no one said anything about giving parts away.

Guys, I understand the loyalty and all but I really do not see owning three vehicles. You need to understand it from my perspective. I have three kids and a wife, as it is now we do not all fit in the Tib. So having two vehicles that don't fit all of us seems to be a waste, especially since vehicles do not go appreciate in value.
