Default Sold the T/A

After trying to sell the T/A on here and craigslist, I told myself F(*^ it and listed it on ebay.

Well a guy who'd actually contacted me from craigslist got it. Initially he still had to sell his vette (88 or so C4). Well I guess he sold it, and ended up winning on ebay. He came and test drove it last Saturday too. I offered to sell it to him outside of ebay, but he wanted to use ebay (probably thinking he could get a better price).

So he's coming to pick it up on Sunday...he's from Vancouver BC, so there is a little bit of paperwork he has to do to get it pass the border.


The best news out of it all.....I get to start ordering some parts for my truck!

I know some of you know about what I paid for the car....I did do a little work to it and cleaned it up, but made enough money off of it to make it worth while, and really I think this guy still got a decent deal.

He sure did. If I could afford to have 2 t/a's I'd have bought it.

Wait, did the guy that buy it live off Union Hill Rd?
Reason I ask is seeing a fs craigslist post for an 88' vette couple of months back then saw it come off Union Hill on a flatbed, very sweet looking car.

I'm hearing the guys in Ont area are having some issues with modded cars getting through. Hope they don't care out on this part of the coast.

$6400....so after I paid for the car, paid sales tax, registration, and fixing it, I come out with about $1500...plus I put ~3000 miles on it driving it to work (otherwise those miles would be on the vette)....pretty good in my book.
