WTFis happening to the AC's out there...

[Mr.Coupe]

Over the last couple of weeks I have seen way to many people getting into major accidents, getting rid of their car or trading them in. Now I find out that adidas2go ,Blake who was one of the people we inspired many of us including me, is parting out his car. These cars only came out 2 years ago and it seems like the members that at first were WAY DEEP into loving the car are just turning around and walking away. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not liking what I see. Regardless of me getting a GT-R by the end of this year or early next year when they fix all the problems with it and if I don't get a different exotic car instead. My AC isn't going anywhere. It will not be traded in, regected or totalled. Sorry I just needed to VENT .

I was considering trading in for a mid-'90s Celica for financial reasons, but when that was resolved, I resolved to keep the Coupe. You're not alone, pal.

I just read the turbo article

I am heart broken, i hope the A/c fire continues to burn...

i'm not getting rid of my a/c for a very long time...

[soxypoo]

i am still here no worry

[Bmore-coupe]

I personally dont care if everyone sells theirs. It just makes mine more rare.. I think that there will always be a small group of people to mod any car, but I never saw this car becoming as popular as say a 240sx.

I just hope that the ones who do stick with it are not like some of the ones on cardomain that have been posted that are

[dldjros69]

Maybe we got it all wrong... Could it be that the major players are leaving but new members are popping up all the time.

Are A/C sales slumping?

Scotts got a 2.5 turbo build.

I just got my car tuned and headered. I think we still got it.

[soxypoo]

ya i am putting on the spring to lower it next monday and paint the calipers red then y-pipe after that and nismo exhaust to come so ya we are still around no worry

[legend_217]

No worry. The more people trade or sell their ACs in this forum, the more chance we can buy cheap aftermarket parts from them.

well, for some folks, the lure of a new car only lasts for a short while, and then it dulls out, and they are ready to jump into something else... Blake took his car as far as he could/wanted to, but in the end i think Blake will always be a "bimmer"... my guess is he goes with a 335i... and starts modding that!

also, the CVt is NOT all its cracked up to be... has an achilles heel that you and I are both aware of... truly the limitation to this vehicle...

but the folks with the 6MT shouldn't be going anywhere!

[bembol]

WTF, is exactly my reaction...

From what I can remember 4 GTA Coupes got VANDALIZED, I'm one of them. I under two years I've been Keyed twice, Passenger Fender gets hit and a few weeks ago got Side Swipe.

OP you are right, I've seen so many threads where either NICO's are getting into accidents/trading them in.

Thanks for the info DOC. I hear what you're saying about the CVT bro and I understand. That was Blake and my problems especially with the CVT and our cars being boosted. Which is why I'm having Tim do what he is doing to my car, BUT DON'T SAY WHAT IT IS . You're not planning on leaving us any time soon are you bro?

What's that? Turbo issues?

[rcboy514]

I dont see myself selling my car anytime soon.....even when I get it paid off. I may just keep it when I get my next car. I will deff. be in the alti coupe section for a long time. I plan on driving my car through med school ( i'm a soph. in undergrad. school now) and when I start making money ill get something else, but i'll prolly keep the coupe

[08coupedriver]

Im only 19, with 20K miles on the car Ill be here for a while lol

I love this car and this forum

[Hussain]

there are 2 types of people getting rid of there A/C, the ones who are because of financial issues and the ones because they want another car. the ones for financial reasons, well its sort of self explanatory. the ones looking for something else, many of them see the possibilities of other cars out there. i mean i've seen used BMW 335i in excellent condition go for $27,000 dollars. if you can get like 20k for the altima coupe (blake for example with his low miles and premium package) then its just 7k for a much better car. i love my altima coupe but the 335i is such an amazing car! with just a tune, you're at 430 HP.... how much is blake pushing with his turbo? 380? 400? i mean a "juice box" tune cost $350 and boosts the power to 430 HP and the car will drive smoothly and not have to worry about your transmission blowing up. PLUS thats just a tune, you can still do soooo much to them. PLUS they're RWD with pretty much perfect 50/50 weight distribution so it will handle better then the A/C..... i mean the list goes on. the 335i beats our cars in so many ways.... its hard to want to put major money into a car and then see a used 335i with so much more potential.... not to bash the A/C though lol its still a great car but honestly, most cars arnt on the 335i's level (including the A/C's big brother the G37).

probably some day...maybe 5 years down the road....

[dangeris]

Well since this thread is started, I'm getting rid of my coupe too

[Ricko]

I will always keep me coupe . . . well as of right now that's my plan. But I will be looking into a more performance car down the road.

[shinkirux]

im riding my a/c until it dies. You never forget your first self funded car.

I was Joking man! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice what I posted I wouldn't be able to get rid of my coupe even if I wanted too. My wife would make me keep it for as much money I've dumped into her (her being the coupe)

[OutToWinPAHC]

I see no problem. People sell due to loack of interest and financial reasons often. Look at it the other way, someone else is buying an altima coupe.

I plan on buying a new car by the end of this year or early next year with a HP in the area of 450-? stock, but I know for a fact that I will still keep my AC. I'm leaning toward a GT-R Spec V or a higher end exotic, but i told myself that the AC isn't going anywhere. I'm attached to my car and will not let it go at all.

You're not serious are you dude?

No one else has enough money to buy a gt-r and keep their coupe. Actually no one has enough money to buy a gt-r even if they did trade in their coupe. haha My 3 year lease runs out in about a year. I don't know if I'm going to buy it out or get something else, but buying a car out of a lease usually doesn't make any sense. I'd like to upgrade to a 3.5 but then I think for a little more money I could get a base 370z with sports package. By the way Ricky when are we going to find out what you're doing with your coupe. You've been hiding it well for a while.

lol i knew it had to be a joke, because your car is sooooo sexxxy....
