What other car are you considering to get? My decision would depend on that, but I definitely see where you're coming from. Any car is gets old and you're getting tired of it, if you drive it daily, no matter what car it is.

If you LOVE it. Keep it. If it's embarrasing you, and you eye is wandering to other cars. Sell it.

Another thing I completely left out. If I sell the tib, I inevitably lose the incredible resource that is RDtiburon. I haven't seen a forum as helpful and relatively friendly, save for an adminitrator or two wink1.gif

Bah.

Dude, seriously, you love your car, and everyone I know that has gotten rid of it regrets it forever.

All of them.

So go get it repainted, keep working on it, and have them other folks droolin over your car instead of laughing at it.

^ I don't regret getting rid of my Tib. I do regret getting such large payments on my current car. At least it holds it's value crazy well.

See, that's just the thing thats making me wanna hold on.

If I put 24,000 miles a year on ANY car I buy, I'm gonna lose money. With the Tib, the resale value was gone when I got it. I stand to MAKE money on the car if I sell it now. (with a good paintjob).

I just don't know if spending the extra money is worth it. Plus, I'm still waiting for the following parts which make it even more frustrating:

1) Hotshot Headers
2) Cadamurro Hood
3) Any decent looking aftermarket fenders

Still on the fence...
