Yes I would hate to give up a practically new car. There is only one other car that I am eyeing. I have always had a fascination with this car. Same color, wheels, and maybe kit, minus the the tint.

Drizzt · 04-14-2011, 09:16 PM

Is the car paid off? I have only one gripe about our cars...power, not enuff, and i have thought about trading my baby a few times. But, I keep coming back to how comfortable and reliable(i know thats up for debate for some, but, in general, i consider my car very reliable) my whip is. Im still paying mine off but, when im done, it will become my everyday car and im going to get me something that has some holy shit power.

So I cant vote till I know, but if it is paid off, imo, keep it and get something else, and if you need the car to put down on another car...dont, and save for a down payment.

Well that Acura looks wayyy Better

But like Drizzt said if it is paid of keep it still has a few more years of good service plus no monthly payment to worry about for 2 or 3 years. Then you can save up and buy a real monster and besides whit these soaring gas prices having no car payments its a pluss.

What's up Drizz. I was the one that messaged on youtube about the Borla this week. Yea, my car is paid off. Maybe i'll look into having two cars. But $$$$! All I know is i am going to end up getting one.

Yep paid off. The only draw back is it averages 5 mp/g less than the camry in city driving. But I don't drive much anyways as you can tell from my mileage.

Nice, i remember

but keep in mind, the last time I was looking for a trade in number, it wasn't what I was expecting, i think it was 14-15k, u will be better off selling it privately. Gl and keep us posted!
And I would still probably save a year and then trade/sell it (as nice as the acura is) for something even better.

just wait and trade it in for the 2012 camry, if not that then keep it. Why would you want to trade it is? style? power? got bored?

Streaker · 04-17-2011, 08:15 PM

Don't trade it just get some decent looking wheels for it. Those are FUGLY!

Unfortunately, the 2012 Camry is supposed to carry over the existing 3.5L V6 engine so those won't be any faster.

My 2007 Camry SE V6 has 120,000km on it and I am still driving it.

I had 2 incidents that knock that "reliable" off my list for my Camry SE V6 '07. Maybe I just got a bad one but it happened and happened to me.

1) a misfired... forgot exactly which one. Caused the car to die a few times at redlight.
2) burst oil line... stranded me at work and had to call a tow truck to haul it home. Had to borrow my brother's car for a few days.

66k miles I traded it in for a Lexus. And Happily ever after.

If I4, I suggest keep it. If it's '07 V6...I floored the gas paddle to the dealer.

It was my last joy ride in it.
