My old car for sale on Craigslist...
http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/127852638.html
The new owner is selling it. I sold it to him in perfect running condition.. now it has a blown turbo.
Otherwise it is the same car as I sold it... Well, he adjusted the front suspension higher, tinted the windows and added an audio system.
Hopefully it finds a good home this time around.



I like to think of it before when I had it...

The guy who bought it was pretty young and didn't seem like he knew much about cars. He had his "plans" to build a really fast car. He'd call me every other day asking me questions and suggestions for turbo upgrades and intercoolers and such. He'd say how the power feels so great and he wants more power.
Then a few weeks later, he told me it wasn't running right and asked me for a shop that could look at it. I suggested a friend's shop who'd helped me swap in the motor. They diagnosed it and its been sitting at the shop since, collecting dust because he was indecisive on whether he wanted to replace the turbo.
I really hate seeing the car in the condition it's in.
I always garaged it, kept a fresh coat of wax on it and rarely drove it hard or long distances as I didn't want any rock chips on the paint.
It's like seeing an old ex. It brings back memories, you wonder how she's doing and find out she's dating some macho *******.

why doesn't he just pay to get the turbo fixed and that tune up, how much woudl that cost? I'm sure it'll sell way faster with more interested buyers. I have a friend that might be interested.

I parted out about $4K worth of parts before I sold. As it was in show condition when I had it, I would have asked $10K. Although the price is fair as I dumped $20K into it, I don't exactly see people lining up for that price.
