Don't get me wrong... I love Oregon. But maybe where you are is more of a factor than you think. Everybody knows how much it rains up there. Rain + RWD = Lots of accidents. Last I was in the Portland area (2005), everybody was on this huge nature kick. Ever think about just trading it in?

Why would you complain about selling a car that this site is devoted to praising? Just a thought

a. Oregon is not exactly the 350Z capital of the U. S. How many months each year are the roads covered with snow?

b. Private sales force the buyer to come up with cash. Someone can walk into a dealer with $500, and drive out with the same 350Z. Buyers could care less about payments and interest.

c. You are asking too much.

No two used cars are the same. But, I suspect that you have overvalued your car. www.kbb.com will walk you through getting the actual Blue Book value. Note that the Private Party Value is the one you want, not the Dealer value.

I had a really time getting a blue book price in Oregon anywhere near what you are asking for without using incredibly low mileage. I observe that you never posted your cars mileage(odd).

If you want the STI, take the dealers offer.

I'm from Portland, just got my Z from a private seller for a great price.

First of all, Seattle gets more rain than Oregon does. Our weather has improved substantially since around 1998

Second, Oregon is the nations number 1 in having the safest drivers

Third, nature kick? LOL

No offense meant by this cause its the nicest way I can put it. NOONE on my350 would even consider buying your car from you. AT ALL. Now that may not be the target market for you (it should be, I looked at your car, I WAS interested), but when I buy a sports/enthusiast car (two so far) I get on the most popular forums and look for people who are selling in my area, see if I can find my car. If I cam across you, your stupid posts, and your moronoic videos of you destroying something you probably didn't pay for on your own to begin with I would immediately sever and sort of communication with you. Do yourself a favor and get your lame ***, looks-like-a-14-year-old made them videos off streetfire and buy yourself a ****ing honda.... mmkay?
