You got good money for your car, you shouldn't have worried about the miles though, now you are going to be looking for another car which may or may not be as reliable. Atleast you knew your car was fine.

Good luck finding a replacement.

Didn't you sell it for more than you bought it?

Say it isn't so Tom!!! I guess now you will not be at our meet this weekend at Damon's. You should get a replacement quickly before you go crazy.

Re: I agree . . .

My car has been in the classifieds for sale since November. Everytime I got a call on it I would get a knot in my stomach and hesitate to call them back. Some I told thats my price take it or leave it. I MAY have sold it ONLY if someone showed true interest and atleast called or emailed a second time. To many people looking for a steal and its not gonna happen with me and my car. I truly can't imagine what to replace it with under $100,000.
Good luck !

Wow. On the one hand, I think you made a great sale. On the other hand, I just think you sold a much better looking car.

Re: I agree . . .

Autotrader really works. You MUST have at least one great picture, I sold my M5 in 18 hours after the ad was up. I'm talkin on the flatbed over the county line, checks in the bank 18 hours later, no dickering on the price and $5000 less than I paid two years earlier at sticker and 20,000 miles on her...

I agree with Lee! If you are really serious about selling a car, then list it in the Autotrader and it will be sold quickly. I sold every one of the four corvettes that I've owned in the past by selling them on Autotrader and they all sold within 2 weeks.
