  • sick and tired...

    I'm tired of not being able to depend on my GTP. The tranny is acting up again. Its still under warranty (second one) and now its like surging at cruise speeds, like a jerky feeling, fluid is good and all. It has 2 years and less than 30k miles on this one. Warranty is good for 3yrs/50K from GM.

    I want to unload the car but I have put so much into it, like to the tune of $13K. Yea no scheit, I have all the receipts! I know I wont get even close to that. NADA books it at $4000-$4800. I still owe $1000 on the loan.

    So do I get rid of it and lick my wounds, keep it but just dont drive it anywhere, trade in and get screwed. Fix it and keep wondering whats next?

    Someone talk me out of doing this or talk me into it.

    I still have the TGP to play with.....

    Keep it but don't drive it anywhere (fix it when you feel like it), and either drive your TGP or get another car for daily driving.

      I already have three cars. I was thinking of getting just one, a truck. I like the Tacoma 4x4 with x-cab. Alot of $$$ though. I dont drive the GTP much, the TGP is a toy and the truck is a beater but its real reliable.

      Yo basass, did you get that owners manual for the TGP? I was going to bid on it but saw your name and didnt want to dis yu.

          I wanted it only if the price was real cheap. I ended up just seeing "how far" I could get the price up to for my pal Davis (seller). I kept bidding up to $19.95 or so to boost the high bidder up to $20 - then someone else bid and extra dollar at the end and won the thing.
          That's pretty grimy there. Public admittance is as good as a guilty plea

                So, the truth comes out, ass! Yeah way to drive up a bid, and then tell about it. Yeah, Im counterclock, the winning bidder. I think I know what I'll be wasting time doing tomorrow, reporting your fucktard ass to ebay. For christ's sake, if you're gonna do something like that, dont tell the world. But you were too much of a dumbass not to, and now you're gonna pay for it. Oh, yeah, fuck you

                        how many miles are on your tgp? i'd consider that before unloading it at such a great loss. of it's under say 100k, cherry it and keep it under wraps for like 20 years, he,he. then try to unload it for closer to what it's worth. other thatn that, it becomes more of a personal issue. what's it worth to you? enough to take the loss and dump it. if so, do it and move on. i've got a few projects that i could never recoup my investment on, but they're personally fullfilling. those that aren't, i've sucked it up and dumped to get them off my mind. keep it and hope or dump it and move on...

                        just my 2 cents...

                              I wondered why this thread was long all of a sudden. Take it to PM. CBA, that wasn't the smartest thing to say on a public board, and editting your posts doesn't look good one your words have been quoted already. If I see one more post about a TGP book or ebay, this thread is locked. Im keeping it open for the sake of the original poster.
