Default the baby for sale..

I hate to go here, but here it is..
The 924S is for sale. I have given blood and plasma for insurance , hell even bone marrow donations for payments- but I have to sell...

she has a verifiable pedicure- has been my pride and joy for several years, and I will miss driving her..

2nd owner 1988 924s, 114 K miles, all work done within spec. 12K receipts in the last 5 years. PO receipts from new. Lots of receipts.

Make an offer.

I am a sad boy. one day there will be another, but times are tough.

Can be delivered anywhere in the US- She's that strong.

That sucks, sorry to hear your car is for sale. You know what they always say though, you'll have another in the future when the time is right.

Chris, that sucks.

I thought things were looking up, since you moved to Ohio for a new job, right?

I know how much you love that car, it's your pride and joy. I know its not an easy decision, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

OK, here's another question.

Other than the car, what parts have you accumulated that you are also looking to sell? In my case, I seem to have accumulated a lot of spare parts. Maybe you could raise some more $$$ by selling parts for a car you won't have anymore.

I have been thru bankruptcy, a divorce, and a general malaise of hell in the last 12 months.

I AM on my knees. I have been through all of life's virtues. (and tribulations) The only asset I have left is my beloved 924S. I have spent countless hours making it roadworthy and faithful, let alone competitive.

It really does make me cry.

5 years of college shot to hell.
