Should i keep my XB or Sell it??

I would never spend a lot of money in mods on a car that i had a significant loan on. I know some ppl differ but if i can afford to spend 2k+ in mods, i could otherwise afford to pay down a lot and pay less in interest. And a 5 yr loan is a bad idea, especially on a cheaper vehicle. My dad had a manager at his business who had bad credit so my dad financed a vehicle in his buisness name, when he had to fire the employee he had to take the vehicle and the guy had done a 5 or 6 yr loan and he owed around $30,000 on a vehicle worth $18,000 at the time. Really bad move, so my dad has been paying $600 a month to keep a spare vehicle cuz it has a negative equity. I know that doesn't really answer your question about keeping it but that is my financial advice. If you keep it i would suggest you try to pay it off sooner to save on interest and increase your equity and cut back on the modding.

Think about it this way, you'll never really have more "spending money" the more money you get, the higher your life expenses get. I personally don't think cars are a good investment, so sell the Box, buy something cheap that you can make semi-fast and have fun with it. less money spent on a bad investment, more money to have fun with, no worrying about the condition of a car.

I am paying it off faster than 5 years, i would end up paying a couple extra grand in interest if i remember right, and that just seems pointless to me. If i did sell it a suby would definitely be a high possibility on my list of cars to buy.

Seems like there isnt much love on here for the toaster....

i love the car but to still be making payments on something you dont really like driving on a regular basis doesnt sound like a good idea to me. if i paid for that vehicle for the next 5 years and didnt even put 80k miles on it i guess i wouldnt be happy. just my .02
