Science Abuse Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Are you kidding? I'm sorry for your loss, but that's no excuse to let a $45,000 car go for $38,000. This car is increadible, people, spread the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Are you kidding? I'm sorry for your loss, but that's no excuse to let a $45,000 car go for $38,000. This car is increadible, people, spread the word. Thanks to everyone for the kind words on my father. It's been a rough week but everyone is getting through it as best as we can. As for the price...it's a no nonsense price...there's little or no room in there for negotiation and yes it would be a loss for me on paper...but you do what you have to do to move things sometime. Heck maybe we'll get lucky and I won't have to sell it afterall...but at this point I can't sit around and wait for things to happen and hope that I can keep the car..I have to look after my mom and if it means moving on from my dream car then so be it.

Bahnstoermer1647545488 Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Oh man Andy that sucks, I'm sorry to hear it. Sounds like life threw you a very unwanted curve ball. Though I've asked you about it more than once, now is probably not the right time for me to buy a 996 so it's probably good I'm not in Columbus right now or I'd be looking at it. Hopefully you won't have to sell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace1647545504 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'm very sorry for your loss. I met your father several years ago when he had the rx7 for sale.

street pilot Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I know this doesnt belong here, but: Sorry for your loss. The two nicest cars in the corral are yours, and it must take a very mature and caring individual to part with both so suddenly. I will be the first to donate to a fund, perhaps we could help getting your cars to ebay? If anyone else is down let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully only one of them will have to go at this point but there are some things in life that are just more important than my passion for cars. I'm trying everything in my power to not have to get rid of either of the cars, but the harsh reality is that getting rid of at least one just makes sense right now. I suppose it will just lead to bigger and better down the road eventually. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
