I do understand the OP's wish, I think. I once contacted a buyer of one of my cars. He got a good deal, and I missed the car. I asked him if he was interested in selling it back to me. This was after a couple of years. He respectfully declined, but was nice about it. It was a nice 1965 356C that I restored.
It's one of the cars I wish I had held onto. I am guessing the OP misses his car too.
Good luck,
Dave

Why worry yourself about water under a bridge? Not everyone needs to make a profit on a car they sell. If you accept a price, that is what you feel you need at the time. There is a difference between enthusiasts buying and selling versus dealers. Enthusiasts buy and sell at a price that is fair... Dealers are in it solely for profit. If you don't have overhead of rent for a car business, all you need is a price that makes you happy... Even if it is below market value. Not everyone needs top dollar. It boils down to personality. Do you want to rake someone over the coals for every penny, or do you just want a fair price to make you whole and satisfied. Too many people want to make a killing, which is a problem.

Some valid points here, I guess I am just feeling nostalgic.

Maybe someone mentioned this...or maybe the OP did but I am a bad reader. Anyway...have you contacted the buyer? Sorry if you already mentioned this. I have to say I wish I could find my '88 BWW 535i I sold to buy my first Porsche 911. I'd love to get that car back!!

I'm not sure there's any car that I sold that I want back. That's why I sold them!

But in answer to your question, no, I think the buyer paid a good, not great, price for your car. Let's remember the condition of the interior, the mileage and when it all happened.

It's easy to look back and say it was underpriced, but who knew SC's were gonna be $30K plus 12 months ago.

Hope you find it!
