Default Got a big offer sell or not?

Ive been toying with the idea of selling my baby to get out of debt before college. havent advertised anywhere yet but i just had a person walk up and offer 12k cash for it. Its a 2000 SS 6 speed with 76,000 miles and all options. mods are c5 motorsports rims lid and magnaflow catback. I feel like thats a very good offer for this car but i know i will miss it a lot and dont know if i can bear to get rid of it . NEED SOME INOUT!!! thanks in advance

I agree with the others who posted their $.02. Clean up the debt (if it's a burden on ya). There's lots of nice Camaro's and TA's still out there for ya to pick up later.

Less debt in this market is a good thing.

i dont think i could sell mine ever, that is a good deal but i think you will miss it and maybe regret it. but not having debt is always a good thing. whats more important to you being debt free or having a bad *** car?

Well wait a minute. You're in debt now, so how much do you owe exactly? Keep in mind then that the $12K isn't going to stay $12K as you pay your debt away. Do you even have another car to drive? No point in getting rid of the car if you're left with little to nothing afterwards...
