Default keep or sell?

didn't list the car for sale but I got a real offer from someone i know.. what would you do? I paid less than he offered for the car. He offered me 18k, I mean if I parted out I'm sure I could get more but 18k is like... 18000$ rofl..

tops ripped, but here's a pic.



oh yeah with the money i'd buy a DD and sell off my other cars.. (prelude's pending and gone within 2 weeks..) i'd have ~~ 25-35k realistically. (owe my mom 10k still which ill pay back first) was thinking of building one from the ground up. what do you guys think? I hate the fact that I can't say "built not bought" because I bought it semi-complete.

Ap1 and he offered 18k? looked at another post and if you want a different car go for it. Although a turbo s2000 is a bunch of fun. I say keep it unless you have something real in mind, good car deals these days.

I'd sell and pay back mom. Otherwise, I'd feel like I was driving her money around.

Sell.. pay back your mom. And then put a down payment on a house.. or invest the rest.. sit on it for 3 or so years.. and then put down 20-30% on a house.. and THEN sit pretty

insurance for the silver one should cover most if not all of that since the cars are all paid off. just gotta figure out a way to fit prelude seats into an s2000 lol
