Default Sold the V Today

Well I sold the v today and I'm not sure how to feel about it. It was a pristine car with only 46k miles on it. Bought it 2yrs ago with 28k on it. Never looked or sounded better than when someone drives away with it.

Kid that bought it will definitely take care of it. Drove from Pittsburgh to Troy NY after calling me last night and drove away. Easiest car sale I have ever had. Sold in 2 weeks. Sold it for 19k. Paid 20500 2 yrs ago when I bought it.

Even better I have had 3 emails so far today about it too. Lol

Congrats bro! Glad it went quick for ya. Curious... What exhaust did u have on it? Lol I know that feeling though. Hated watching my buddy drive my old one away and when he did, I was like damn... Never heard it from outside the car. Sounds good! Lol

Oh well... You got good money back out of it and the guy who bought it got a good deal having low miles and being so clean with the wheels u let it go on. Now u get to spend some time in the 700+hp club lol

No tears but I definitely had second thoughts about selling it.

It had RT cats with a muffler delete. Best sounding non headered car Ive heard. I'm pretty sure a 10 sec car will hold me over for a year and a half till the old lady finishes school (nursing). Then its a Brand new V2.

That's normal man. As I was handing my buddy the keys... As happy as I was to move onto something else... It was hard to watch it go. Lol

Yeah... You'll be fine. V2 will be sick and nothing wrong with swangin a 10-sec terminator in the meantime... Lol

Yeah I've had mine for sale for a cpl weeks and actually had a local guy hit me up about it. I simply REFUSE to sell it to someone where I have to see it drive past my house everyday. Maybe dumb but it'd be like having your wife leave you for your neighbor and having to see her lay out by the pool all day. LMAO.

That's a double edged sword for sure. I sold 2 Mustangs to people I know.... One I regretted something terrible cause it was 99% PERFECT. The other I regretted seeing that every time he had a noise or issue of some sorts he would call me or drive up to my house to bitch and gripe about it.

That's how my buddy is. Every sound, squeak, minor issue, i get a call about it. I'm all about helping my friends out but the car is his now. I was more than willing to help at first but it gets old at times... As u can imagine.

I had the same feelings when I sold mine, but I didn't get to hear it drive away. Took it to an auto trasportation company.
My wife's in nursing school too, 11 more months then.......

Wow that is a quick sale. I've have mine for sale and it has been like 3 weeks or so. Had a lot of calls initially, but only 2 that have been serious. Where did you have it listed? Your selling price was pretty good to.

I don't know if I could sell a car to a friend. There is no way I could sit in the passenger seat of one of my old cars.

This would be the best way to sell it!
