In a fit of boredom at work on Monday i replied to a wanted ad for a '72 chevelle convertible.  I like it when it's like this  But less so when it does this. I've had it for nearly two years and sort of fancy a change. So is it time to sell it on and get a new toy or keep it? And what would i replace it with if i did sell it?  |

I was gonna say, replace with what? if you don't need the money, working out what you want is the next thing.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

What would you get as a replacement, you don't seem to like any other cars? |

Yes, if you’ve got the opportunity to sell and it’s not something you feel you must keep forever then why not?
What to replace it with? Hmmmm. Honda Accord?
I fear suggesting a new car for you could be rather tricky…

I'd say keep it - at least until you know what to replace it with - another Yank or something else? P.S. Do you a straight swap for a Rover 75!!!!  |

sadly (or luckily depending on how you look at it) we don't get the same money over here as the aybnks do. A lot of good muscle cars have recently gone back home to the US, also many have gone to Sweden and Germany where there seems to be a lot more disposable income to drop on a high-value "toy" car. And the Scandanavians in general do go mad for drag racing and the big ol V8 stuff.
Thats where the money is.

And what would I replace it with if I did sell it? Its worth you selling it just so I can find out the answer to this question  . |

I think some people have taken my 'I don't like it' as me actually not liking things. rather than the poor attempt at humour it was/is. |
