Default Depression Just Set In - SC and Supra Bye-Bye

After listening to my wife complain about my 94 1.5JZ-GTE PT76 SC300 and 94 TT Supra 6-speed (owned 11 years and 67,000 miles) that just sit in the garage....I put them both up for sale a long while ago at prices I NEVER expected to get to make her happy. Of course their was alot of tirekickers up front but both had been quiet for weeks. Then out of the blue I get 2 calls within 5 minutes of each other selling both...no questions asked. Transfer's have already been set up through my bank and both buyers legit. I know they are just cars, but dang I am really depressed right now. I think my SC300 is actually going to be the hardest one to watch drive away.

By those same lines, $32k at 6% interest in 20 years is over $100k. Assuming I sold the car in 20 years for $100k but still paid comprehensive insurance and taxes for those 20 years not to mention any repairs and maintenance the picture gets a little messier.

Of course I'm assuming the market at least levels off and you're assuming gasoline exists 20 years from now...LOL

^ This. If anything I would compromise with her and tell her ill sell one, but keep the other. I would of sold the sc and kept the supra based on value. Unless your in a bad financial spot theres no need to sell both. Compromise to keep one. Your engine bays are to die for. Beautiful cars.
