I was 75% on selling it, due to expanding family. But after discussing with a few people here...that 75% is now more like 50%, haha. Even told the wife, it's sort of a collector's item! Need your help friends. Do I keep it or do I sell it? And why? It's our 3rd car right now so we really don't need it. I just need a good enough excuse to keep it. Or a good enough reason to sell it. arggghh

First, what are your other cars? If your family is expanding, the Type S has good room for expansion.

LP700-4

As much as we'd like for these cars to be collectors, the fact of the matter is they are getting older and older everyday, at the same time the value of these cars are only going to go down.

When the TLX comes out this car is going to be 2 generations behind.

However before selling it consider the fact that you are very rarely going to find other cars in the same condition and mileage if you ever want one again. Especially if you bought it from new and owned it from day one.

I drove a 97 civic coupe from the day my son was born until he was 8 and I just got my type s about 6 months ago, if I can make that work the TL should be a piece of cake. We did take the wife's pilot about 75% of the time though. I kept the civic as my DD, I say keep it!

You took the words right out of my mouth. I hate the reality of depreciation. That's exactly the reason why I'm considering selling it. I can't tell you how happy I was when the 09 TLs came out, I felt a sigh of relief b/c to this day, I still love the 3G. Nothing against 4G, but I think it's pretty hideous haha. But I am thinking about the TLX as well, but given where they are with the current 4G, I am not too hopeful.

The other thing for me is, what if I'm just living in the past? Maybe it's time for me to move on and let another person enjoy the car. Isn't there a saying, if you love it set it free? haha

Other cars are GLK Diesel (family car) and Honda Insight (wife).
I want to sell the Insight and make the GLK her car...maybe this way I can keep the Type S. But the fact that the Insight's a wagon and seats fold down, we can lug more stuff sometimes w the Insight.

sell it. if you end up significantly regretting it - which i'm betting you won't - you can always buy another one at your leisure

I was in the same situation as you. Just bought a 2014 odyssey ex-l for Christmas. not selling my TL for reasons. one it doesn't worth much money and I don't need to cash it out. two it's in great shape and runs perfect. I'll drive another 100k or till it dies. too bad it's now parked on driveway cause the ody took the spot. just fixed sprinklers so it doesn't get sprayed on every morning.

well, i posted it today on the market for $21k. I'll roll the dice. I always bet on black....or in this case, alabaster silver metalic. sorry, had to do it.

nowayjose1
