THe vehicle you regret selling/trading the most?

I'd have to say the vehicle I regret trading the most was my 2008 FJ Trail Team. While it wasn't as sophisticated as the 4Runner TE I have now, it had it's own charm and uniqueness which I liked. However the 4Runner is just 'more' of what what I wanted in a truck and that's why I went the route that I did. I only wish the 4R TE was available in white (non pearl) because that would absolutely be the colour I want. I find the current colours quite average and boring, that's my only real complaint.

My 2004 Jaguar XJ8.

Love my Land Cruiser, but I kick myself every day for selling the Jag.

My '92 2nd Gen 4Runner and my '07 FJ. Left the '92 at my dads house while I went to work in London for a year. We had talked about selling it for a few grand but it wasn't critical. He turns around and sells it for $500. It had over $1k in tires on it with little rust... but there was a problem with the engine. I'm told that the guy who bought it held a piece of paper up to the exhaust and it was sucked it. $500 later he had my first vehicle. My wife and I had planned on fixing it up and giving it to my son in another 18 years. Nice to dream.

As far as the FJ, I bought it new and enjoyed it for close to two years before I thought I had to sell it. Traded it in for a Land Rover LR2 because I was having a hell of a time getting the car seat in and out. LR2 was a lemon and spent 30 of the first 45 days with the dealer. By the time I was driving it on a regular basis we changed to the convertible car seat.

My lessons learned were not to leave my truck with my dad and to have more patience.

My '04 Z.

Greddy Ti Exhaust, Wilwood BBK, Stance coilovers, Volk TE37's, Dunop Star Spec Z1's, Hotchkis sways, Vortech....

To say I miss it would be an understatement.

Bumper is a bit messed up in the front. Hit a patch of black ice one night and did substantial damage but fixed it all myself. (Broken brake rotor, three 19" AME Circlar Spec R's ruined, 4 flat tires, one broken steering knuckle, two bent Stance coilovers, one bent SPC camber arm, punctured exhaust, etc...)

My 96 Mustang Cobra, it was 1 of 2000 with the factory Mystic paint. Just wasn't practical as my only vehicle, so sold it and got my 03 4runner.

Both motorcycles I've owned...
First was a '75 Kawasaki KZ900. It was mint, bought it from the original owner. Only had 10k on it...man that thing was fast. I'll try to find a pic...

I sold that to buy an '02 Harley Superglide. Got a hell of a deal on it. It was a great cruiser, and was the best sounding Harley I've heard. Sold it cause I never had time to ride, and it just sat in the garage.

My 69 Camaro SS350 4-speed, 12-bolt posi. Cortez silver with black stripes. God i miss the smell of burning rubber and getting sideways!
 
My 84 fj-60. Rust fee Colorado truck. Sold it because I was 23, broke, and I thought that gas was too expensive. That truck is probably still on the road.
 
My 1997 Chevy Z-71. I bought it when I was 17, fell on some hard times when I was 20, and ended up trading it in on a Ford Focus. I saved enough in gas to be able to make the payment. In hindsight I should have sucked it up and kept paying. I would have had it payed off 2 years after I traded it. This was the start of a bad cycle of trading in a vehicle that I owed more than it was worth. Now I am 6k upside down on a 2006 Mazda 3 that I bought for my wife. Once I get that thing paid off, I will never finance another vehicle worth over about 10k again!
 
My '65 Vette coupe. If nothing else, just for the difference between what I sold it for in '76 vs what it would be worth today.......................:cry2:
