Why is everyone selling

What is with the recent massive selling of fbody's on here? Is everyone getting rid of there car before the new one comes out becuase ours won't be as high in demand?

Re: Why is everyone selling

Have you been watching gas prices for the past few years? Some people can only deal with the fluctuation for so long before they give in and get a more economical car.

Re: Why is everyone selling

30 MPG is BAD gas mileage? One other thing I wonder... how can someone complain about gas prices when they drop $20k or more on an F-body that's 4 years old at newest? I scraped together every last cent and begged, borrowed and sold stuff just to get $6500 to buy my Formula and I'm not well off in the least. I think gas prices are just fine. Sure, it'd be great if they were cheaper, but they're not putting me in the poor house by any means.

I could not afford to drive my Z everyday.........I would have to sell it and get a better MPG car IF it were my only transportation.

Re: Why is everyone selling

Most people see cars as transportation not a thing of excitement, people dont care what kind of car it is or where it comes from, or how safe it is, they just care about MPG.

Re: Why is everyone selling

well I tell people if you care too much about the price, then you can't get the sports car. That's why I got a Cobra as my daily driver, and have my camaro as a sports car.

Re: Why is everyone selling

The most amusing thing to me is the folks that go out and trade on or just flat out buy another more expensive vehicle, in which the extra insurance alone will ensure they never break even.

Re: Why is everyone selling

Can't help but notice around here that people buy a fourth gen, sell or trade in less than a year. Not sure why this is but sure is common.

Re: Why is everyone selling

I still haven't officially listed my vehicle for sale locally but I've got the word out that I'm selling.

I'm planning to sell only because I'm going for something better, a new C6 Z06 will be in my garage once everything is all said and done.

Re: Why is everyone selling

You do not get 30 mpg. You are mistaken. And $3.52 per gallon is not just fine. LT1 Camaros are not the cheapest to maintain either so high gas prices may just be the last straw. Only reason I am hanging on to mine is that it is paid off.
