Well after 5 years of excellent service, the 323 is finally being sold. I've tried to sell it before on here twice without luck, so I didn't bother posting it up again.
My neighbor asked me yesterday if it was for sale, he had a friend who was looking for a cheap car that sipped the petrol. I was waiting for the guy's phonecall and telling my roomate that I was excited to be selling my car, and my roomate told me HE'D buy it from me, and he had no idea I wanted to get rid of it.
So at least it's going to stay close. It's also fortunate, my roomate works at a tech-school and he's going to take it in there to let the kids work on (for free, obviously) and get it fixed up and running better than ever
So hopefully within the next week or two everything will be taken care of, and I'll be back down to one car (My volvo). If anyone is interested, my near-future plans are buying a motorcycle in the spring (have the cash, just waiting out the winter weather) and look into buying my first brand new car. The volvo is running great currently, but it has a lot of miles and I'm afraid that sooner or later I'm going to be stuck with some sort of $1000 repair bill, all the while still making car payments.
I'm currently considering a Mazda 3i, or Honda Civic LX (4 door), and I'm currently heavily favoring the Civic. I really don't care about performance, as I was perfectly happy with the 82hp (and that was being extremely optimistic at this point) in the 323, so the 140hp of the civic would be more than enough. Actaully, the only real reason I'm swaying towards the civic is very slightly cheaper insurance, and resale value on honda's is just insane. At the age of 23 I'm already getting old and boring, I know... But looking at 150k mile 10 year old stock Civics going on ebay for $3500, that's just plain insanity. The styling, interior is much better on the 3, but in the end I'm still leaning towards the civic.
In the end I may just end up keeping my volvo a while, paying that down, and saving some extra cash for a down payment on a car. I'm currently socking away an extra $100/mo on my car payment just for the point of getting used to the car payment a $16-18k car would be.
Anyway, I plan on still sticking around, though I haven't been on much lately. I've been fairly busy at work, which is when I usually am on here, so I haven't had much time. By the end of the work day, I'm sick of looking at a computer screen, so I don't do much of it when I get home
