Sell one truck to pay for another?
Like the title says, I wonder is it worth getting rid of my driver to fund another project? It would really jump start the project, but I have a feeling I may regret it, and know I will lose money I already put in my truck. My wife says I can keep both, but I don't exactly have a financial windfall right now. Just wondering what others do? Save and keep, or sell and start over? Thanks, Timmy

Re: Sell one truck to pay for another?
I sold my 72 to help pay for my 68.
It was tough since I got my 72 as a junior in HS and had it for 11 years, but in the end I don't regret it. My 68 is the truck I'd always wanted. My 72 was the truck I could afford at the time. |

Re: Sell one truck to pay for another?
It's like buying a home, if you want to get ahead in life and make money and be profitable you can't get attached to them. You buy to gain something in life and if you've gained your enjoyment and possibly more money then you can move on the next one. I buy and sell trucks and parts to fund my '72 Blazer since I've wanted a blazer since I was a little kid. Now I have it I only plan on keeping it. The rest are just to have fun with and tinker with and MAYBE sell when I decide I'm bored lol
I'd do it if you can make some money off it, but if you don't think you can make money, how about swapping some parts around that wont affect the value of the truck when you sell and put them on your project truck.

Re: Sell one truck to pay for another?
I say be patient and keep your driver so you'll have one to drive. Not to sound negative,but there's always the possibility your project won't get done. Also,if you do sell the driver and put the money into your project,where will you be with it? Still a log way off or would this get it done? You sound like you like the trucks enough to stick with it. But,many who only have a project wind up throwing in the towel because it becomes this thing just sitting there hanging over them. If you don't have the finances to be working on it steadily you lose the connection. If you have one you drive in the meanwhile you keep the connection.

Re: Sell one truck to pay for another?
90% of projects NEVER get finished I have seen it over and over so since you are asking I WOULD NOT sell and enjoy it work on the project as money comes..Good Luck.

Re: Sell one truck to pay for another?
You first need to determine if you wife MEANT keep both or if she said do whatever the **** you want to. If she mean't keep both then you should obey your wife, because she knows best...all sarcasim aside, I would keep both and fix both a little at a time, it should keep you busy for many happy years to come. Plus your wife could drive the other when it's done.
Cheers, |
