Whats the one vehicle you regret selling the most and why??
I've had a lot of vehicles that i've sold and regretted it in my time. I bought and sold older "muscle" cars like candy when I was in highschool early college. They were cheap and very plentiful in southern california at the time. None of them ever felt like my cars though so i'll exclude them, even though in terms of money I lost out a lot by not keeping them, as I never had one for more than a month or two.
Next up is my 94 firebird formula. First "modern" car I had that I would call fast. 6 speed manual, rare ultra ebony leather interior, white exterior. I put quite a bit of suspension work and worked some magic on the engine. By the time I traded it in, like an idiot, It could touch the 12's in the quarter and would car up the road courses dotted around the area also. It also could get about 29 mpg all highway. Had plenty of leg and head room for someone even my size. Still not the one I miss the most.
Next up is my 92 cruiser everyone knows. I thought i'd have it forever. I didn't years of money issues and other things meant I barely drove it to more than cars and coffee as gassing it up for a long wheeling trip was becoming a hardship and it started to have some issues that I just didn't have the means to address at the time. This one is always in the back of my mind to buy back at some point in the future as it isn't being used even to this day as far as I know. Still its not the one I regret selling the most.
Next up is my 1990 big silver suburban. It had uber rare options that were part of the conversion specialty craze of the time. Wood dashes, overhead consoles, door cards, etc..... was in awesome condition except a dent in the hood and on the rear ambulance door. It had almost 300k on it and still ran like a top. I got it for a steal and being a chevy solid axle the sky was the limit to what I could do with it, only detractor on the sales was its overall size. I ended up selling it because Andrea wanted us to get another cruiser (the 100) I agreed and sold it because we had too many vehicles at that time. I would easily pick it over the 100 if I had a choice right now. Still not the biggest regret I had.
The one I regret selling the most is my 95 Chevy suburban 4x4 6.5 turbo diesel. It was almost completely bone stock but was fairly rare being a 1500 model. Only thing a 1500 model means on the diesel suburban is that it has 3/4 ton axles but in 6x5.5 and can have a 3.42 gear (which it did). I could get an average of 22mpg with this even with my driving. I could still tow 7500 with it. I could fit 9 people in it and gear easily. I could chuck things up on the roof. I drove that thing everywhere and with its mpg and huge 42 gallon tank range or cost wasn't a huge issue. It would easily do any "overland" trail out there. Upgrades where cheap if I wanted. Larger running gear out of a 1 ton would bolt right in. Kits for SAS could be had for pennies. It was stupid reliable. Had 330k when I got it today has over 400k, 425k if I remember correctly. Only major things replaced besides the normal alternator, vacuum pump,pump computer etc (that are stupid cheap) was the injection pump by the current owner last year... even that only cost $500. Everything else, engine, trans, turbo etc.... is the same as 95. I bought it off the original owner so I had all its service history.
Now the reason I regret selling it is it was completely a forced sale that I didn't have time to warm up to or want to do. The PMD went out on it when I was living here and andrea was still there. Not being able to diagnose it from so far away I had no idea what it was at the time. At the same time the trans went out on andreas jetta. We were down on money with our house payment there and my renting a place here, insurance in two different states, etc..... So I had to very quickly sell it to a friend of mine who was also the local mercedes diesel guru to pay for the new trans in the jetta. My aim has always been to get another but I can never find one at the right time and whenever i'm actively looking people want an arm and a leg because of the magic "diesel" word in the title.
So what vehicle do you guys regret selling the most?
