planet but I have a similar story. You see I ordered my 01 3.0 in July and in August it had been determined that my department would be shut down the week following delivery of my car. (I work in the entertainment industry with an Architectural back ground.) I went ahead with the purchase anyway because, lets face it, the economy is really strong and most companies are looking for warm bodies to fill seats. (with the SAG strike the entertainment industry is not hiring.) My department will cease to exist at a delayed date of the end of October. I don't regeret my decision one bit and have yet to find another position. My question if in your position is "Will the money I make from the sale of my car be enough to replace what I lose because I do not have it?" For me it would not be worth it. Yes I have a mortgage payment and now a new car payment. Have some faith that something will come up, belive in yourself. It all works out somehow.
