2021 Lexus RX 350. I travel extensively and needed the comfort. It's got 78,000 miles on it already. Will be over 100k before Christmas. I had Acura's before, couldn't find the right one when I needed it. Gave my daughter the 2011 MDX I had for college. That car was well over 200,000 when I sold it.

I really like it. Cost is scary. The few that made it to car lots around are all priced more than some of the trucks.

I traded a sweet 93 T Bird and some cash for a 2007 Dakota that has been a good beater. I can't bring myself to sell my KZ440, it's in fine shape and runs perfectly with only 12K on it.

I remember when the Chagnum floated on... lot of opinions for good or bad. However we have now a new Charger ( with 2 DOORS option) and no comments on board yet?.

That's a surprise for me.

If any coment or thread in the past, I missed it

Market doesn't matter to me.  Really, gaining value does nothing but increase insurance cost for me.

I've had many try to buy my car. I won't sell it.


I do find this amusing.  The 68 Charger I bought I think 10 years ago for a little over 40 is back on vanguard site for 159. Very nice car but that's a lot of coin for a 383 auto.

What did you sell it for, that's a nice looking Charger.

I had to look it up.  So what happened is the gold 68 Was at a porsche dealer in Pittsburgh.  Was on hemmings for a while and not exactly the spec I would want but very very nice car.  I had a 1995 Porsche 911 that I traded for the Charger. (I had a little over 40 in the 993). That was January 2017.

A year later in January 2018 I bought my 69 Charger from a member here on this forum as a project.

Loved the 68 but have only so much money so listed it for sale on ebay. Also was tempting to swap out some parts beforehand but did not as I felt the 68 was so nice it deserved to keep it's parts.

Anyway, I didn't get much/any interest on ebay except Vanguard. They sent someone out to look at the car and I sold it to them for 58k.

Of course I knew it would appreciate but what it's worth today I don't know.

The porsche I traded for it certainly worth close to 100 today even as a high mileage driver I would guess.

In the meantime I bought a 993 c4s that's worth probably double what I paid for it.

I knew every one of the cars I was trading/selling would appreciate but without unlimited funds couldn't keep them all so did the best I could   

 

Not bad, I wouldn't mind having a Porsche either

Good on ya' Charlie.

No question that on the very hot days mine does not come out to play...

Same.  Not only is my car heavy as hell as it is, I really only want to drive it when I can do so with all the windows down.
