Poor College Student

[tydown]

Hey this is my first time here. How bout a little advise.

I've got a 84 CJ7 that I love, but I have thrown a LOT of money into it already. Now that its running good my parents are pressuring me to sell it and get a "reliable" vehicle.

What should I do?

I can't really afford to do anything to it or fix it anymore...

It really sucks ass in the winter (missouri)...

I can't take any long trips in it...

Should I sell it?

yes you should. PM me, I might know of a local buyer.
Thinking your not going to put anymore money into a 84, guess again.
Buy a new jeep

:shock: .oO( knowing that I'll start something from saying this) Find yourself a late model (91-95) YJ. White is totally right, too... J.E.E.P. = Just Empty Every Pocket. If it's not in repairs, it's in mods :lol:

I had the same problem a little over a year ago... I, too, had an '84 CJ which was unreliable, expensive and my parents were pressuring me to sell it because it "wasn't safe." I ended up selling it and getting a '97 TJ from a dealership. Now I've got a small warranty, better gas mileage (which still sucks!), less problems and my parents are happier. Plus, driving home from college is a LOT nicer (you don't have to worry about things flying out the little holes that you most likely have in your top and the floor).

This just worked best for me... not saying it's a good idea for you... but Good Luck with whatever you do!

You could sell it, but then in the summer you will wish you hadn't. Your in college, you can hitch rides anywhere. I say keep it and get a little Honda to drive everyday.
