Hey, what car did you trade or sell to get your xA?

I traded in my 2000 VW Jetta GLS in order to get my 2006 BSP xA. I had negative equity because of the trade in, but its worth it in the long run I think.

My 1992 Toyota Celica GT. I kind of regret selling it. Not because of my xA, but just because it was a great car.

2003 Civic EX Coupe Automatic.

It was a fine car, it was just 2 doors, and an automatic. I like having the 4 door hatch, I get a lot of utility out of it, plus the stickshift is more fun as well. My credit score was around a 680 when I went in the building, and a 710 when I left. All-in-all, I think it was probably the best financial descision I have made yet. My insurance is less, and the gas bill is a little less.

'98 Chevy Prizm - 88,000 miles and ran like a dream... suspension sucked and it was totalled because of hail damage... I kept it then sold it myself and made a nice profit b/c of the insurance check for hail damage.

Before that... '89 Civic SI that I should've kept... AWESOME CAR!

2000 Ford Focus ZTS with 40,100 miles on it the day I traded it in for the RS2. That was my first and last American car. I'm now an import nut.

Sold it to Carmax

2003 Honda Element EX AWD auto with 23k miles- silver

I miss it but the xA was more affordable the way gas prices were so high this past season. As a matter of fact, everything was more expensive after moving to california.
I had my Honda in Virginia/DC, Texas... but it took California to strip it from me.

Traded a 2003 Honda Pilot (wife's car) just before gas prices went straight up, then I sold my 2000 Jeep Wrangler to pay off the remainder of the '06 xA.

Oh...the wife's driving the '05 tC now.

Was going to trade the '95 525iT, but decided that $5000 for a car that cost me over $50,000 was not a smart move. So I kept it, now it's our backup car. Still runs strong, and where else can you get a bimmer with dual sunroofs? Cheers.
