With this being a car website, I can understand how some small minority of users like RodKnock might want to see some car pictures. If I was fdjake, I would probably start a thread on this site
Saving Money Forums - Saving Advice
I could briefly mention saving some money on a GT40 and then proceed to post dozens of pictures of the car there, where the audience would appreciate the car pictures more than the story about saving money.
With that in mind, I thought I would add to this thread about my financial genius in selling a car. A bunch of years ago, I broke the back window in the hatchback of my Merkur XR4Ti. I called around and was having trouble sourcing new glass. With the broken glass, I had the car in my garage, where my twin turbo RX-7 was supposed to be. Could you imagine RodKnock leaving his Kirkham in the driveway so he could put his keep the interior of his damaged Prius dry in the garage? This would not do, I needed to get the RX-7 back in the garage. I remembered a friend once offered me $100 dollars for any car, so he could use it in the annual demolition derby. Who needs Kelley Blue Book? I now knew the fair market value of my car, $100. So anyway, I found a Merkur forum, signed up and posted in the "for sale" section. I said, anyone interested in my XR4Ti? I've got an offer for $100 to use it in a demolition derby. There were a number of users who outraged about the demolition derby thing for some reason. But one of them bought the car from me for $160.
Wow, 60% over my asking price.
Even though I was a motivated seller, it turns out that I did not have to settle for a fraction of my car's worth. Hey that makes me a financial genius.
