I just sold my black on black 6sp 2003 TT with some minor upgrades for a ridiculous price... it started with a $3.... the new owner just drove away with it with his wife. I got about 6 angry phone calls from different people that didnt pull the trigger and give me a deposit when I asked them for one . Moral of the story, dont snooze or wait to steal the car if you really want it and its a good example. Its better to over pay by a grand or two and have the car, rather than miss out because of greed.

 

Exclusive TT - which car was your's?

 

When I was searching I found a Lapis Blue 02, stock with 40k miles and tires worn to hell. The owner wanted 45 and wouldnt budge, I passed found a 02 blk/blk with 24k miles with mods for 47. I love my car and even if someone came up to me and gave me 50 I don't think I'd sell simply because I know down the road these will pick up in price and it's my 1st p-car.

 

I am kicking myself everyday for letting a pristine '01 Seal Grey with 22,000 miles get away @ $42k. Now I'm just trying to find a comparable car, I had it in my hands and let it slip away. 10 miles from my house, ugh. Stupid me.

Now the test is to be patient and to not jump on the first car that reminds of that beauty.

 

I probably have it worst. I have the funds ready and have seen a couple of cars that I would buy in an instant, but for the fact that I am currently working overseas and won't be back in the States for another 36 days.

I don't think most sellers would agree to a deposit in exchange for holding the car for a month. So I am left hoping some of the cars I have my eyes on will still be for sale next month or perhaps other qualified cars will pop up closer to my return date.

I should probably stop looking at for sale ads until a few days before I board the plane.

 

and stop looking about 5mins after you buy a car too! Honestly I'd be driving Jusinn's car if I hadn't bought mine!

 

I looked at a lot of 02+ cars that were around 39-41k. All of them had either paintwork or 2nd gear popout (and 50k plus miles).

I found my 22k mile car, paid a bit more, but finding a pristine example was worth a few extra grand.

 

oh man i lusted over that car in the worst way. i wish i was in a position to buy when i found it...

 

Usually, sellers dont have an issue with this if you puyt down a larger deposit...

 

Sup Rudy! What kind of turbo are you looking for? How's the s2?

 

Rudy,

I would consider taking a despoit and holding onto mine for you That way it will give me time for my new set of wheels from Adv1 to come in.

LMK if you're interested

I guess it also all depends on the size of the deposit.

 

I do not completely agree with the Mods argument, that no mods are better. Someone would be silly not to get a car because it has a better Exhaust and Upgraded cats Updated DVs etc. I DO however agree that radical mods would scare me off.

Hey Aaron, long time not chat, hope all is well! I sold the S2k last year, I finally realized it didn't make sense keeping a car I wasn't driving, that and my parents ultimately got sick of having to start the car and drive it around the block few times per month for me Guess I need to update my sig.

I am looking for a X50 car with mild mods (flash, exhaust, etc.) or one with K24/18g turbos. Aerokit or GT2 bumper/decklid a plus. Below 45k miles, but don't need a low mileage garage queen since it will be my DD. Color preference: gray (Seal or Slate), white or silver (Arctic, Meridian, Polar, etc.). Budget of up to $53k for the right car.

If you know anyone contemplating selling their Turbo that fits the above description and can hold the car until 4/20 (for a deposit, obviously) send him/her my way, I'll be forever grateful

 

Thanks for the offer. You have an awesome looking Turbo. Too bad I don't think I can own another black car if I want to keep my sanity. Had a black Supra Turbo years ago. Black car + living in a high dust area + being obsessive compulsive about having a clean car meant I had to wash that thing almost daily.

Thanks again for the offer and good luck with selling your car.
