    Default to sell the 73 88 or not??

    SO the question is do I sell the 73 SIII 88 w/ 60K orignal miles to help with buying a house...down payment?

    Any thoughts?

    Default Not to sell

    I just sold my boat to purchase my first Series rover. My train of thought was they will continue to make the same boat that I sold. They will never make a series truck again. I might as well go in the hole now and buy a piece of functional history.

    Thats kinda how I'm leaning but the housing market doesn't make it easy to own two homes when the market in Montana stinks.

    Almost forgot, how do you like the Series? I trust the Bragg traffic isn't running you over.

    I would say if you dont have to..dont. 6ok original is tough to find let alone replace. I went through that once, never again. I will die before I sell my series. Well, thats a little drastic. I used some retirement money to buy my first one, my current one. Why? I only live once, and it was a good deal, and now I drive history while others drive something available at any corner lot.

    Default Fort Bragg

    Fort Bragg traffic is not beating me up too bad. After I got the truck back from Maine I drove it daily between Bragg, Mackall, and my house. I then drove it to Fort Fisher for a little beach driving. A recent diff leak and water pump have slowed me down a bit. My neighbor has a series iii 88 I am trying to get him motivated to get his own the road. As of right now I think I am the only series on the road. I have seen a few d90 s and one 110. I definitely have loads of trails to explore.

    Don't beat yourself up over the deal. If the sale price is enough to make the load easier on the monthly, do it. There are plenty of S3s out there. I bought a 29K original mile truck last fall and turned down another on the way home with it. Now a low mileage 2A, that's worth pondering a bit longer.
