Default Sold the car

Hey everyone, sold my car this morning. Just wanted to say thanks to all of those who helped me through the experience of owning the 350Z. I would appreciate if the unnecessary comments were left out.

To those who are curious, I am looking to purchase a home and wanted to focus my attention on that.

Congrats for selling it, houses are always a better investment that's for sure.

So.... who did you sell it to? A member on the forum? I'd like to put them in touch with alberto, be nice to finally see it happen.

When I had a built civic the only place I had luck was on random forums.

autotrader/cars.com are places people go to buy normal cars, I hate seeing modded cars on their, always scares me. At least with a forum you get the chance to see into the background of it.

Actually had the most success with ebay, produced the most interested parties/offers. Ended up dealing with the buyer outside of ebay, but initially found the vehicle through that website.

I do believe forums are a great place to purchase a vehicle and do a bit of background, but a little bit harder to sell because the market is limited.

There are a few things I would have liked to do prior to selling, e.g. run Alberto, would have liked to in Ocean City but he decided to get the cops onto his trail real quick .

All in all, it was a huge learning curve and great time.

I found my buyer on craigslist with everything but the turbo system included. I just did not want the headaches of parting the car out and searching for stock parts. There was just too many flakers on this forum who were all talk and no comitment. The buyer shipped the car to Lebanon so hopefully soon I will be getting pictures of it in Lebanon.

Didn't get what I was originally looking for, but that's alright. Time to cut my losses and move on.

And buyer lives in MN, so not sure if i'll be seeing the car again.

So after you are settled into the house and got everything straight, then what? Any ideas for your next car?

GTR would be nice, i'm going to set my priorities on paying off the house. If there is one thing I learned, cars, especially modifying them, are the worst possible investment.
