That color 944 rocks! Too bad you're selling her. Trust me, you WILL miss the car!

Selling advice: Clean up the matts, and take bigger photos. Potential buyers will love a clean looking interior with lots of photos.

Just my .02

Good luck!

If you sell it will cost you more in the long run. Because sooner than later you will buy another then pour all that money you spent on your current back again.

Yes, I need to vacuum it again. Had it spotless on Sunday, took the pics yesterday. Of course, there's a huge elm that's dumping 5 pounds of floaty seeds ever 2 minutes over my driveway... so there's elm seeds unavoidably being tracked into the car.

Also the car is being covered with yellow pollen at the rate of 1/4 inch an hour. Springtime...

You said it! My dark blue BMW is filthy (another reason to sell it and buy a lighter color 944)! Green stuff all over! Much worse this year than last too.

Nature sucks!

Thaddeus, I would bring that puppy to the German Car Fest Saturday June 7 with For Sale signs on it. Details are on page 17 of
<a href="http://www.nordstern.org/Newsletters/200304.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.nordstern.org/Newsletters/200304.pdf</a>
Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the tip, Jon! I will be there.

Today, a price reduction: the car is now for sale at 10,000.00 US.

Got some nibbles at 10.5 but no bites. I got contacted by people in Atlanta, Miami, New York, and Chicago. This is it. No lower. If nobody wants it at 10, I'm keeping it.

cheers

Thaddeus,
Before you sell it realize that with todays mortgage rates, $10,000 over thirty years is about 65-70 a month, and it is tax deductible.

I didnt want to go below 12k for my car, and with AndyK's enthusiam for his BMW think I just may do a little more work, keep the car a few more years.

There is a place near me that will put in an inflatable lumbar support for about $150. My back is more important than resale right now!

I can't do it. I'm keeping it. It's such a cool car.

I took down the Autotrader ad. 50 bucks down the tubes. Oh well...

Hey Thaddeus better to realize it now and chalk the $50 up to learning experience than to have made a mistake selling it and regret it afterwards.
