[stardust]

Well if you think $4000 is too much, PM me and make me a reasonable offer :)

My car went out in the Bargain Finder (Buy and Sell) yesterday. Have 2 people coming to look at it today, but can't get ahold of one of them. I want to get it sold because it's retarded for me to be paying auto insurance on a vehicle I'm not even driving.

Priced reduced........$3600

I can meet this afternoon with anyone who wants to take a look at it, in Calgary.

PM me or email: [email protected] if you need more info, my #, etc.

[stardust]

Come on people....it's an awesome car. Don't believe me, I'll show it to ya, take it for a spin.

Okay, if you buy my car, I'll throw in some homemade brownies, some Richard Simmons exercise videos (no they weren't mine), my lucky rabbit's foot and an all expense paid return trip to Balzac :D :D :D

It's a decent car, but honestly if you want to sell it that bad put it in the Auto Trader - it will get a lot more visibility than on here. :werd:

[stardust]

have put it on buyandsell. thanks :)

[ecstasy_civic]

how low can you go?

[stardust]

God I'm a dork. To the Mods here, my apologizies for starting a new thread....I was trying to reply to this one and obviously accidenally hit the "new thread" button as opposed to the "reply." So sorry.

Now in regards to how low I can go re: price, as I was saying (lol), I won't go lower than $3600 because it's an awesome car, in great shape...has only 156K and it's more than reasonable compared to other ones out there for sale privately that have wayyyyyy more mileage on them and are pretty much bagged. Sorry !

[stardust]

BUMP ;)
