THe vehicle you regret selling/trading the most?

My '96 GTI. So much fun!

Spax adjustable coilover suspension- big cross-drilled brakes- stainless brake lines- 205/40ZR17's- stress bars- 260' cam/adjustable timing sprocket- exhaust- intake- custom chip- shortshift- debadged- ABT quad headlights-Bonrath Grill- first gen 3 clear taillights imported into US - Momo wheel and stuff- and on and on and on...

It wasn't fast, but I could corner and brake so hard it would make you puke... It was awesome.


I only have "pictures of pictures", sorry!

Miss this girl. 2000 Toyota Celica. Lowered on Tein full coilovers, 2000 dollar sound system, 18'' powder coated rims, powder coated intake manifold, valve cover, and calipers. TRD Short Shifter. It was a fun and zippy car. Handled like a go cart on rails.







And I miss this Jetski. 2005 Kawasaki STX-15F. 160 hp 1500cc NA motor. This was as big a motor as they got for that year before superchargers started getting introduced.

 
sure do miss ol' hank..

78 ford, 4x4, 351m, 4spd, 35's.. etc etc.

My 06 Taco double-cab TRD off road with 2 1/2" lift. I got laid off in 08 and traded it in for a cheaper payment on the 01 t4r (which I love) but still... it had 15k miles on it when I had to let it go after 2 years

Selling my 95 MR2. When I bought my 4Runner in 2000 I planned on keeping the MR2 since it was paid off. But the wife couldn't understand why I needed both. I told her I don't but why sell a perfectly running car that I love. This went on for 2 weeks and I finally caved in and sold it, boy was I pissed for a long time. But years later I relized that selling the MR2 started me on a 10 year journey that led to me getting my dream car, a NSX.

I still miss that MR2 though.
 
I regret pretty much everyday I sold her. BUT, at the time I was newly married, looking to return to the US and get out of some debt. I pretty much had no choice. I wasn't going to return with nothing in my pocket.

Here I am cleaning her after an 8 hour drive to my future in laws house.

I've gone through a lot of vehicles, but the one I miss the most is my old 85' 4Runner (bobbed, dovetailed, 37's, dual cases, etc). It was beat to shit, rolled more times than I can count, and the phrase "Body Damage" is an understatement. But, that's why I love it so much! All of those dents and scratches were good times, and memories.

I didn't sell or trade it though; it got parted, cut up and thrown away. I did the right thing at the time, but I really wish I would have kept the body and chassis. Even if I had just dumped the shell on some private property with the intention of picking it back up years later. I would love to build it now, but with a modern drivetrain and a top of the line running gear. The "Patina" of setting out in the elements for years would have only added to the character. Oh well, RIP Green 4Runner! :sadwave:







 
Mine is my 1985 standard cab short bed toy. Tons of memories and fun. Nothing special about it. 4" trail master springs 2" con fer shackles front and rear 3" body lift 5spd carbd 22r. 36" gumbo monster mudders. Built on a high school budget back in the 80s

Saleen

My Saleen speedster is the one I regret the most. Since then Ive had other saleens, a GT500 and my 911 I just sold last week but the Speedster is the one I should've never let go. I've never been the same.

1 of 1 S281 Speedster

Don't get me started on what vehicles of mine I have regretted selling. Almost all of them have been Toyotas too.

The truck I missed the most is the one that started my love for Toyotas. It was a 2002 Tacoma Ext Cab 4x4 Limited that I bought used exactly how I would want a tacoma today. It had All Pro suspension front and back, 33x10.5 BFG ATs, All Pro bumpers front and rear, camper shell, and Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels. At the time when I was in high school all I wanted was a prerunner so I took all that stuff off and slapped some fiberglass fenders on it. That truck took a beating and kept going strong.

Another vehicle I regret selling is a my 99 4runner that I bought from PBColt on here. I bought it while I lived in California but sold it once I moved to Texas cause I got the new car bug which I didn't end up keeping. I have been trying to buy it back from the guy I sold it to for over a year now but I am not giving up.

And the most recent one is a 2002 Tacoma DC 4x4 Limited that I bought from the original owner. This truck was in immaculate condition and I thought I should sell it since I didn't drive it that much. Dumb idea on my part!

Hopefully now I have learned from my mistakes and not give up on vehicles so easily.
 
This is a no-brainer for me: My 1972 Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser in perfect condition. I do have a picture of it somewhere that I will add as soon as I can find it.
 
1995 Toyota regular cab 4x4 22re in emerald green. I wish Toyota would smarten up and bring back that generation's body style.
 
You're gonna laugh at this one, but I can't help it. She was my first car. Paid $550 of my own hard earned money when I was 15. Not a problem with it at all. Put 150k miles on it and all that I did was change a strut and a CV. She got ugly, beat up, hit, and got driven like hell, but she never gave me a problem. And she'd do 125 with a car full of people.

Day I bought it...

After she got beat up... I took it mudding. :lol:

After all that, I still traded it in for $400 off the Runner. :becky:
