best times to sell and buy cars

[denn454]

its getting close to that time where i need to get rid of my buick. college is coming up, i'm going to have to make a long drive every day, i'll get somethign at a police auction for a driver, something i won't have to care about.

so i'm planning on putting a coat of paint on the buick, fixing a lot of the little problems it has and selling it. when is the best time of the year to do this?

I'm also having problems with the car, it runs bad (although i think i can fix 90% of the problems, and will before i sell it) and isn't very well liked. don't get me wrong, i love it, but try picking up girls in a t-type, its not happening.

I'm thinking of getting a tta, or maybe a syclone/typhoon. i might even go for a newer model trans am or camero ss, but those are too common for my tastes. maybe i'll just get a gn, i donno. when is the best time to buy a car like that?

Just curious as to how much your looking to get for your car w/o the paint job?

it's real easy my friend! i had mine for about two weeks and ALL the chicas love it don't blame the car

...just givin ya a hard time... but to address your question... i dunno i guess you can sell it any time (of the year?)

good luck!

ps- if you're painting it, paint the T black and for all a random chic would know is it's as "Cool looking" as a GN... hell a lot of folks -- male and female -- think my RED turbo T is a GN

i'm asking about what time of the year. i know certain things have their times of the year, buy snowmobiles in the summer and sell in the early winter, and so on.

i need the best looking car i can get! with a lamborghini i might have a hard time picking up a chick!

i'd go black, but the body isnt' straight enough, and i don't want to repaint the door jams and everything. i'll probably go with the same dark blue color.

I don't think i would sell it right now, it needs some body work that would be done with the paint. but if i were to sell it right now i wouldn't take any less than $6,000. to be honest with you the car isnt' worth that the way it sets (maybe it is, but i wouldn't pay it, but then again i'm cheap) with a new paint job and the body work being done i'll probably ask around $8k

Why do you think you need a car to pick up Hotties. Make them drive and keep your Buick. I don't let girls ride in my car because i hate it when they put on make up,comb their hair,try to smoke,paint their nails,drink from open glasses, and worst of all turn on my radio knobbs. Besides i would buy a cheap beater if i had to drive a distance to School. You will be thankful later.

Go tta (if you want reliability), syclones and typhoons get a bad rep for reliability.

Go Syclone/Typhoon, if smoking guys in a truck/suv is your cup of tea.

I'm more of a syclone type person myself, but I'll probably be shopping for a TTA in around a year.

I think most people who are looking to buy a car like that would be going shopping for one in spring/summer and so that would be the best time to sell. So then, maybe buying would be in the off season? Just my best guess.

If you're gonna sell it, now is probably the time - assuming that your AC works. Put it in the Post under classic/specialty interest cars.
