Just couldn't do it....
Hey guys,
My wife and I had a garage sale this past Saturday so I through a for sale sign in the window of my 1998 Formula just to see if I would get any bites. I have about 11,500 invested into the car total and listed it at 14,999. So, if I could make a 3,500 dollar profit I thought go for it. I would just buy another one and put the extra 3 g's in it. Within the first two hours of the sale I had two legit offers. One for 14,500 and the other for 14,000 but I just couldn't do it. I was very suprised because I know it is not worth that much!!! I guess a nitrous bottle in the trunk gives a better curb appeal. I got one more offer from a Spanish gentleman who I could hardly understand. I thought he kept asking me" Is this a Formula"? I answered him three times and then he said ok and left. My nephew told me after he left that he was saying " Is this Firm" meaning the price. Oh well. All in all I did not sell the Formula (Probably a good thing) but it's good to know there is still a market for them given the gas prices.

There is no Thumbs Up Smiley for which ever reason LOL I added on in a thread I made though, so I'll import it over here with the link-code

Anyways, guess if I sell my car I'll toss in some NOS (what, $450~) and then add on $1K-1500
And yes, you're a good man for keeping her
