Considering selling my sueprcharged z

DYNAZOR

Having realtor signs on a Z just sounds soooo wrong.

OP didn't ask what you think about a realtor driving a Z.

I'm not sure what your current status is on the your cars payments or if it's fully paid off, but is that $30k the money from potentially selling your Z?

Business Kat

Z is paid off. I'm very hopeful that with the money I've put into it that I'll get more than 30k for it but I don't want to spend more than 30 on a new car just so I can have some cushion should anything go wrong.

You guys bring up a good point with the wrx. For image, the car isn't exactly realtor-ish. I think I'm trying to compromise and may regret it. It just hurts my heart to go from "nothing can mess with me on the road" to " why can't my car make it up the hill".

I'd like to think, especially in Austin, you don't get judged for your car. The few sales I've had so far haven't been affected by the Z. If anything it's a conversatoin starter. In LA nobody cared, it was just another cool car, but here I have people stopping me to talk and compliment me pretty often. Cops love staring at me as we pass too

Highly unlikely. Highly modded cars don't command a premium.

If the car was stock it would sell for (ballpark) 26k. I find it hard to believe on a 2013 with under 16k miles I could at best get another 4k for having 10-15k of additional equipment. And I was careful not to rice it out. IMO other than the supercharger and coilovers it was basic upgrades

I forgot to mention I want to have another stick shift. If I had the money I would for sure lease a C class. I can't afford two cars right now. I have a motorcycle for my second car

Thank you guys again for humoring my anxiety. I appreciate all the feedback

Just lease a Mercedes c250 and use it as tax write off and keep the Z.

On a good day you prob would get pennies on the dollar for your Z. That is if you can find someone that appreciates your mod

I agree with Chuck, you probably won't get 30, mayyyyybe because it's a 13, but I still kinda doubt it.

I don't know which LA you're talking about. But my friends are realtors out here in Los Angeles, and car makes a huge difference. It shows that you can sell a million dollar home. Or have sold 50, million dollar homes. I asked my parents if they'd buy a house from someone with a Z, they said its unprofessional. Ask me how much the house costs or what the realtor drives, lol

I really think you should buy a second car. Spend $20k and buy a 2008 LS460L, it'll run forever, and if you ever actually drive anyone around, holy shít they'll love you for it. May not seem like it, but it's almost as fast as a Z stock in the 1/4 mile, it's just 3 FEET longer than the Z... And you'll know it.
Or get an ISF. (Buy all your Lexus parts from Rock Auto)

Used M5 and call it a day.

I kind of agree. Not a BMW guy myself but for what OP is looking for out of a car a good, used M5 would be solid performance wise. Although considering OP is worried about upkeep costs... BMW.... Meh.

Friend just picked up a S430 w. AMG wheels for a couple of grand to drive his parents around in. It's got some issues but the price was right. All leather and super comfortable. That thing is pretty quick too.

Really? Is common sense that far gone now?

You are driving a potential individual client in your z? And its boosted. Jesus.

And you are on some good crack thinking you can get anything near stock price after you dumped money with FI.

Come on buddy you can do better than that.

Your clients want something that can get them from point a to b in the safest most comfortable ride possible. Instead of trying to appease your immature ideals why not focus on what the client needs

cigarclifford

lol a great salesman could drive a 10 year old station wagon with a roof rack

Ask yourself this one question. Are you a great salesman ?

Apparently my common sense goes about as far as your manners. In the future, read the thread before posting in it. If you have nothing productive to contribute then you probably shouldn't comment.

The last paragraph should have summed it up.

I need to inflate my epeen by ragging on your less than stellar decision making process.

Seriously get an is350 or c400 or something of the sort and be done with it.
