Ever sell it and regret it?

[gbleezy]

I've had my 08 Tahoe for 8 years now and I'm kind of getting bored with it, I want something more fun to drive. The thought of selling it has crossed my mind but I feel like I'll regret it. Has anyone here ever sold your SUV and regretted it down the line?

Sold a 91 camaro regret that very often
Sold a lifted 99 dodge ram also regret that
Sold a 94 f150 definitely regret that as i sold it cheap and the guy still has it 4 yrs later
My 94 suburban i sold that but i dont regret that so much as i scored a 97 tahoe the following year.
I say if your bored with it do something with it to step it up a notch and make it enjoyable again.

Man I could never sell my third gen. It was my first car and I love that thing to pieces

Ya i moved to an area that wasnt conducive to the health of the car lol. I also had no place to work on it anymore so i had to sell it. Selling my baby wasnt even the worst part of it. I had a performance ignition setup (along with other parts) and a full sound system. Guy i sold it to didnt listen to me at all and tried to use stock parts on the ignition. He also fried my amp because he was too stupid and kept pulling the wires off the cap. After he got done ruining the car and burning a very expensive set of performance tires bald he then sold it to someone even younger and dumber. That person tried to put cheap of the cheap tires on it and was out trying to race around in it. Almost killed himself and wrapped the car around a tree and yay i got to see pictures of what was left of my baby.

Really regret selling my 05 Avalanche. Then I regret selling the Yukon Denali XL I got to replace the Avalanche. Tried a few other vehicles after that and ended back up with a 2011 Avalanche.

Yea I'm never selling my Tahoe. It's gunna be a weekend toy/ only sunny days in a year or two. I've got new everything on it so it's gunna run forever. "Knock on wood"

Sold my 1980 XS1100 back in early 90's. Dang stupid move.

I only regret selling two vehicles. My 88 IROC, a cherry car but I didn't have any place to keep it in the apartment complex I lived in. And my 02 Trailblazer LTZ. The Trailblazer I had rebuilt the entire suspension on and it was a very clean, excellent running truck with only 90K miles on it, with a towing tune for the lower RPM torque. That I6, 4x4 with 3.73 gears got me 24.5 mpg average on a cross country trip.

The biggest disappointment was in the trade in price. If I had sold them privately I would have done better. If you trade in an 08, you're going to be very disappointed with what the dealer offers you if it's clean and in excellent mechanical condition.

I miss both of them though.

I'll drive the escalade into the ground. It's too versatile for what I need. I can tow a car across country, haul a family of mormons, drive it in a blizzard, and take it out for date night. I would regret getting rid of it unless I was replacing it with another one.

 

[justinesky]

Sold this bad boy a few months ago to pay for toys for my escalade. I built this from the ground up including nitrous. fast car!

Traded in a stunning '13 Suburban LTZ to get something more fuel efficient (per my company). I leased a Subaru Outback and got rid of it after 2 months for a Buick Enclave. After 13 months without a normal full size SUV, I finally went back with a '13 Denali XL. Now I need to start my mods all over again...

I sold my 2001 Durango limited with quite a few upgrades in February 2015 and then thought my Denali XL. While I love my Denali and dont regret a second of that decision I miss my durango a ton. I miss how easy it was to maneuver and park. And I just like that it was a great suv for my needs. So ill probably be buying another one sometime soon and use that as my daily driver and work vehicle and keep the Denali as my play car. Bottom line, if you like your ride you'll regret selling it.

I always had a soft spot for GM full size rigs..
Sold my 2009 Z71 Tahoe for 08 Acadia, sold the Acadia for an 08 LTZ Tahoe. Sold the Tahoe for a new 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland. Sold the GC for an 09 BMW 335i sedan. Sold the BMW for a 2012 LTZ Suburban. Sold the burb for a 2013 Explorer Sport. Got rid of the Exploder for a 2013 LTZ Tahoe. As you can see, I keep coming back. I've kept the 13 long enough that I've finally paid down all of that negative equity lmao about to pull the trigger on a new Denali XL.

Well, traded this 08 SD in on my 09 YD, didn't want no stinking payments. Had over 5 great years with it, but thought the YD would suit the family better. YD rides nicer and is easier to park, but in a few years when I have my grad school done and paid for I'm getting me another truck...and an e39 M5. I will probably forgo the new truck and get the M5 first and then a new truck. The YD has quite grown on me and although I miss the truck there has only been a few times that the truck would have been handier to have. If I got a trailer the YD would fill all the needs of a truck. I just like the convenience of throwing stuff in the bed and I like how the truck drives down the highway better.

Just had a blackbear tune on it with all the management turned off.

I had an 80 El Camino with a 350 and 3 on the floor that I sold in the 90's to pay for a previous college degree, wish I could find the pics. If I ever get really successful I'll have an Elky in my garage for sure too next to the M5. My first car was an 81 Elky.

That negative equity craziness. Gets you every time. Despite the fact that the car you're trading in is selling lot hot cakes, the book that they use will always have you on the wrong side of the equation. Add in the amount of mileage that I put on annually - it's a sinking ship unless I can pay cash. But as they say, a boy and his toys...

Regret selling my 1987 VW Scirocco 16v. That car was fun and used to eat first generation Honda Civics for breakfast with the mods I had on it.
Regret selling my 2001 Ford SportTrac. I don't care what anyone says about Ford, that truck was reliable and easier to park than my Avalanche.

I came close to trading in my '13 Tahoe LTZ for a RAM 1500 Sport but just couldn't let the Tahoe go. I'm glad I came to my senses.

Life is full of risk and change, so make the best decisions that you can along the way and don't look back.

 

[jd08]

I traded in our 08 Tahoe 3lt for a new 12 Equinox 2lt because the wife drove too much for work. Less than a year later she started working from home. Now she maybe puts on 5-6000 miles a year. Should of kept the Tahoe.
