The what keeps your from selling your car thread?

[bmwm42]

I would have to say what keeps me from selling my baby, would have to be that I keep saying this is going the last repair. I just realy love e30's had them since I was 15. I just want to see what keeps you guys still interested in keeping your e30.

[Fleksta]

Knowing that there is no way to recoup the money I've dumped into it.

because it is god's chariot.

[Jafxod]

Love, it's what makes an e30 an......wait nvm

[jasonsnoddy]

because nobody will buy it

I'll never sell my car as long as I can keep it going.
I put a good bit of cash into it to get it the way it is, but that't not the reason I woun't get rid of it. I keep it because I love it. The way it looks, the way it drives, the mechanical access and serviceability of them.

It is more reliable than other cars I have had. It is easy to park, has great visibility, good turning radius, relatively economic, reasonably comfortable, great on highway drives and short distance trips, comes with a tool kit so you can manage if you need to, has 14" wheels so tires are cheap and a full size spare, killer heat in the winter, OK AC in the summer...I'm going to stop here.

I love my stock E30. :)
I will hold on to it as long as realistically possible, and maybe a little longer if I can.

-stands the test of time
-luxury, sporty, respected but not douche status
-cheap/easy to maintain, keep
-visually appealing as it gets older
-just the right amount of gadgetry, refinement, and feel
-no car payment

the list goes on and on. my only concern is the day when some idiot trashes my car and it'll be more expensive to fix

because nobody will buy it

+ nobody around here would pay what I paid for the car, even with all the work I've stuck into it so far.

I got a fortune cookie that said "because they have no one else"
True story.
