Thinking about...DONE! Said goodbye...

[parkstr8r]

Selling. Yep - as usual I get a car finished and now thinking of selling.

I have about 50 in it...probabaly let it go for around 40. Only has 5k miles on it.

We have an FX - and I bought the EX as we thought we were moving to Texas from LA. Now that has been put on hold - so thinking I may want a 370Z vert until we move.

Not 100% sure...but I'm approaching 49, and the EX was my 48th car. So 49 for 49!!!

This will make my 5th Nissan product in 2 years.

Now - let's see how much money I cannot loose on this deal!

[XIS]

Wow. I just turned 48 (feel 28) and the EX is only my 6th car... 7th if you count the one I had for 2 weeks when I was 17...
Could you name them all??

let me try -

67 VW 1.5 yrs
79 Scirocco 2 weeks
81 Scirocco S 9 years?
90 Integra 10 years?
02 IS300 5 yrs
07 RDX 4 yrs
08 EX35 almost 2 yrs so far...

[parkstr8r]

[bigbenex35]

Damn!! You had a lot of cars!!!

I say: Go for it!! I love the 370z!!


For my part, I'm 27 and I have owned 8 cars:

- 93 MX-3 Precidia
- 92 Civic hatch


- 93 Civic SI hatch with GSR engine (ran 14.2 on 1/4mile)



- 97 Acura EL



- 2000 Civic Couple SE



- 2000 Integra GSR with Spec R (ran 14.4 on 1/4mile)



- 2010 Subaru STi



- 2008 EX35

[rb25crazy]

you guys sure own a lot of cars,

I only bought 2 cars

1997 nissan 240sx (10 years ago) still own
2008 infinit ex35 (3 weeks ago) still own

[parkstr8r]

And so it's done.

Found an amazing deal on a new Roadster...said so long to the EX. Mixed emotions as I really did like it. I just could never get excited about it like other cars. And I got 13k off the Z!!!

Here they are as I said "goodbye" and Hello".

Fully loaded - and almost no mods to make!

Thanks for being a great forum everyone!

[jmann]

Honestly if you have an FX, you didn't need the EX as your other car. Might as well have a fun 2nd car. Nice pick up.

[bigbenex35]

Congratz!!! The 370Z looks awesome!!

[jmann]

Assuming you traded the EX, what did they give you for it?

[parkstr8r]

I did trade. Well - I got the best I could get considering. But with all the mods and only 5100 miles - I only got 35.

BUT - I got almost 14 off the Roadster - which sticker was 51750.

I'm really taking a break this time...so it is what it is.

[parkstr8r]

Oh yeah...SOMEBODY BUY MY TWO SETS OF WHEELS! GREAT PRICE!

Man, that's nuts! I hope the wife doesn't see this....DANNCAS, I couldn't agree more - shudder to think what I've spent, or could get now if I'd kept some of them....

[XIS]

WOW for both of you... your impressive list and your memory!!

Would have loved to have danncas's M3 and ArticBlue's A6 quattro!

[danncas]

Arctic Blue

1973 SAAB Sonnet
1972 Jaguar V12 E-type
1972 Citroen SM
I love to have had these three Specially the JAG all those Carbs

[ArcticBlue]

You nailed it, danncas - the three I most regret having sold ! The Sonnet because I had a fat girlfriend (well, no - I had 2 St Bernards and they didn't fit); the E-type and SM to finance my education. The E-type was incredibly smooth, but really sucked gas and attracted the HP.....the SM was probably the best and coolest car I've ever owned - 25mpg at a steady 130mph across Montana (really!!).
Your GTX shoulda been a keeper :-) - neat cars. My bro has a Villager like yours with over 300K miles on it - amazing!

[XIS]

OK - I had never heard of the Citroen SM before so I had to google it....



Looks like the precursor to the Pacer

[ArcticBlue]

Pacer ?? NO, NO, NO ! You had to see it in the flesh - very sleek, very low co-efficient of drag. Lovely cars!

[danncas]

I real love the Citroen Dx 72-75.
Citroen one post steering wheel and the only car that you can drive with three out of 4 wheels. Not to mention the sofa size back seat. That's making baby's in style. lol
I love to have the one that Simon Backer drives on the Mentalist

[danncas]

Pacer ?? NO, NO, NO ! You had to see it in the flesh - very sleek, very low co-efficient of drag. Lovely cars!

The pacer has nothing in common But it did ride like a huge car since it was so wide. My Ex wife drove that on back ad forth to work. Really was not that bad of car this was the limited model it was loaded

[danncas]

Arctic your right about the 67 GTX 440
and the 67 Galaxy fast back was a sleeper. so many Vets loss to me. 390 2 4 barrels and modified engine headers,lifters and cam and rear end. It SCREAMED
But I seem to miss the Saab's the most specially the 2006 Chili pepper red combi 2.8 v6 turbo. I brought my first one back from Sweden.

[EX-KAT-35]

If that Roadster is not a stick u might have just as well stuck with the EX. . . (pun intended)

[parkstr8r]

Swinging by - Kat - 7AT with paddle shifters. NEVER own a stick in Los Angeles. NEVER. EVER. I forgot how much I miss the power and handling. It's fun. Not perfect - but perfect enough. And I still have the FX for those other days.
