I really should sell my car, but...

seis-speed · 09-03-2021, 11:56 AM

Every time I drive it, oh man, this car is so epic. I am not sure there is a better car to drive on B-roads.

I always say next year - will be a good idea to sell it and get a bigger 5-seat car (I have 3 kids) clear out some room in the garage, invest the money, you all know what I am talking about, but I literally can not do it even though it feels like the right decision -

Maybe next year....or never

I think that is the eternal dilemma.

Other cars are out there but I agree with you - every time I'm behind the wheel of the 1M it's impossible to wipe the grin off my face. (Maybe I'd feel the same way with a Miata, who knows.)

If prices were wacky out-of-control like some of the stuff on Rennlist maybe I could be persuaded to sell and try to grey-market-import a GR Yaris.

Here’s the test, drive something different then get back in the one. She’ll always remind you to stay. I think 1M is perfect, I only think about what I will do with the next one.

Keeping an eye on this thread. I am in a similar dilemma as I have a second one on the way. I hope OP keeps this thread updated with his decisions next year!

Archgggrrr, damn, reluctantly admitting; I should join your closet-1M-sellers-anonymous group. Luckily as little time i have to drive it, i’ve even less time to sell it.

Would a 718 GTS with a 4L NA engine be worthy?
That’s my dilemma.

That car would definitely be on the shortlist.

(There was a lot of raving about it when it was announced but it doesn't seem like there has been much buzz since, though?)

Been driving my car more and more, it is so epic, I love it, I think never is the answer to my original post….

After driving my wife's LX570 for a week, driving my F80 Comp feels like a very special experience. However, after driving my F80 Comp for a week, driving my 1M feels equally special compared to the M3 as the M3 does to the Lexus Cruiser.
