My current car situation:
I have 3 vehicles: a 2008 Toyota Highlander which is my daily driver, 2011 370Z, and 2011 IS-F.
I only really need one... My Z and IS-F sit in the garage most of the time and are collecting dust and depreciating so I want to sell two vehicles and keep one. They're all paid off and I don't owe anything on them but I feel like I'm losing money just keeping them here. I'm leaning towards selling the Z and IS-F and keeping the Highlander because it's the most practical of the 3 and the others still have high resale value. I could use the money towards buying a new house.
Sounds sensible. Go for the house.

If you want the most money for the house, the IS-F and Highlander are going to get you a lot more than the Z

Going from personal experience when we built this house, I wish I bought a truck. There was/is so many things I could have used it for. For that reason alone I say keep the vehicle that can move the most, tow the most, etc. Get yourself into a nice house and revisit the pleasure vehicle in a year or two after you've settled.

I have a lot of parts for the Z I'd need to sell off before I sell it, tires, wheels, coilovers, bodykit, fenders, hood, seat rails, etc.

It's too much to maintain and property tax here is ridiculous. we want to cut costs and are planning on moving sooner or later. I currently have a ~50+ minute commute to work and want to cut that in half at least

im real sorry to hear, xip. my condolences.

are you going to be living with dad? i suppose buy a small 3 bedroom 2 car garage with a long driveway so you can park your dd outside and your hobby car inside...and live in an area where HOA takes care of the landscaping. to me mowing the grass is just a total waste of my time and i hate planting, so i prefer to just pay someone to do it for me.

Sorry to hear about your mom.

Are you planning on buying the house and living with your dad or branching out on your own? Either way, ditch the toys, and become a homeowner. I thought you already owned a house and that's why you had the toys. House > Cars.

Also if you can, get a 3 car garage or a deep 2.5 car garage. I bought my house before I got married so a two car was plenty, however, I guess being married means your wife gets a spot on the garage so when I get a winter DD in a few months, it's going to have to sit outside. I HATE parking any of my cars outside, especially when the snow comes. Plus you can never have too much garage space
