Wink Decisons, Decisions...... ...

When it becomes trade in time \ new car\ truck time is it hard for you to trade the old vehicle in ?
I have a 97 F-150 which , I bought new & now would like a new F-150, but man I have so many memories in that truck it is hard to do.
I already own 1 88 Mustang GT, 91 S-10, 95 Cirrus.
It is just hard to for me to get rid of my previous cars, but I do like the new truck & cars that are out now.
What is a nut like me to do

I know what you mean. My wife traded her previous Firefly in on a convertible Tracker. As much as she hated her Firefly, I was a bit sad to see it go. We used to go camping in it. However, when it came time to trade my old Bronco 2 for my Ranger, I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. But I think the B2 knew what was happening, because it started acting up on the way to the dealership.

It's tough letting go of a car full of memories. I had title to a 90 Buick Regal that my dad bought, and I had a hard time signing it off to my sister to trade in for a 99 Jetta. But sometimes you just have to let them go.

My truck made it easy for me, it died on my the day before I had to leave for work. Towed my truck home at 3:00 and was driving the new one by 5:30.

trade in the s-10 and the cirrus and get what you want. i bought a 2002 f150 new and the only reason why i am keeping it is because i have so much money in it on turing it into a show truck i have to keep it or else it would be traded in on a new mustang right now. so i am going to keep it and my 97 i just bought from my grandfather this year and buy a new stang when they are paid off. my insurance payment each month will be like a second car payment, lol.
