should I or shouldnt I
Thursday, December 11, 2008 11:54 AM
well I have really been missing my cav, I have been going through all my pictures and I think I want to get back into it again, but this time I am thinking about buying a fellow members car that is pretty much completely done except for a few things that I would want to change to make it mine, but I dont know what peoples opinions will be if I buy someone elses ride that has been done. Obviously I would make it my own but there is always that feeling that everyone says " thats so and sos old car" and I am worried that I will never be able to get over that. What should I do? I really love this car and want to help a friend out in the same way by buying it from him could I get some serious comments and suggestions

Here are a couple of pics of my baby before it was gone

i say buy ur friends car that ur talking about, change a few things on it to make it ur know like u have said, and let it be, if you like the car enough u'll buy it and not worry about and at least it'll go to some that knows how to take care of there cars and not some guy that'll beat that crap out of it. and if its the car it think ur talking about i would did it my self, but the wife wont let me lol. i hope this makes any sence to you guys. and sorry if i have bad spelling lol. good luck.

I will be keeping the impala andrew but yeah I may buy justins car, obviouslly I will add my own flavour to make it mine but for the most part it will stay the same, it will only be used a weekend and show car though not a daily driver thats what the imp is for, and I dont want to do any "fast" changing mods if it has to sit in the garage until I can afford the next mod then it will, I have always loved his car and it is something I have always wanted so I just may who knows, buts thats why I made this post to get some comments about it

pics of the car you are thinking about buying?

i'd say there is nothing wrong with buying a modded car. as long as you aren't claiming to have done work to it that you haven't done, i wouldn't see any problems with it.

I wouldnt want to change the paint but maybe a 3400 swap and air are possibilities and I would never claim work that I havent done myself

It's cheap enough, why not. Paint disappoints me on it, so I'd still consider a re-spray, but if you're happy .

Your old car was sweeet.

It is tough losing the "that was """""""'s car" but, it can be done!

buy it, repaint it and change front bumper. no one would ever know.

Both are very nice cars!
If it's something you've always wanted and have the chance to get it, go for it already.
Especially that car. It's an icon in the Jbody world i'd think and to own something that's known in quite a few different areas of the car scene world would be awesome to have.
Who cares if it was so&so's cars. It would be your car then and you can do or not do whatever you'd want to do with it.

Good luck with your decision ... and I'm with WHITECAVY lol didn't know you got rid of the Silver car!
