Well, I haven't been on here for a month or so but this story is so bizare it must be posted.
I've had my notch listed on autotrader for like 3 months now, (not sure if this will work)

Asking $10K with everything I had for it, all original parts that came off the car, Pony wheels, new Cobra R's with new tires, mounted slicks and skinnies. I've had about a million calls on it since it's been posted but nobody could ever come up with a decent dollar amount.
Then yesterday, around 1pm my time I get a call from a guy in California (I'm in WI mind you) who says it's his dream car and wants me to hold it for him. So I'm like, 'yeah right, sure, I'll hold it for you, just let me know when you're close', figuring I'd never hear from the guy again. This morning at 10am I get a call from a local number and it's the guy, said he's at the Comfort Suites down the road and wants to come buy the car. So I arrange for some back up as this seems like a really shady deal so far and tell the guy to meet me at the clubhouse out front of my townhouse in 30 minutes.
30 minutes later he's there. Says the car looks great, wants to take it for a test drive so I said sure and I walked over to my buddies car to tell him to follow us in case this crazy guy wants to jack my car or something, but then the guy says 'ah, nevermind, it sounds great, I don't need to drive it' and pulls out a fat wad of cash and hands it to me.
I was like WTF, that's it, no questions no looking or inspecting anything?????? I said 'Ok, then I want $8500 for it and I'm keeping the Cobra R's like we discussed over the phone, we settle on $8350, I check all the bills, take it to the bank who checks them and then deposits the money into my account.
So now this guy just bought my car and I'm totally busted here changing the wheels and putting the Ponys back on and we get to talking. The guy flew in last night, bought a same day leaving in an hour plane ticket, the same day we talked on the phone (which he asked no questions about the car either), took a $250 taxi ride from Chicago, IL to Lake Geneva, WI, got a room at the comfort Suites and just bought my car for more than I paid for it.
Didn't want the slicks or skinnies, just the car, the bra which I only used like once, and a battery relocation kit that I had yet to install.
I'm busting with the excitment, but also crushed that my car is gone, it hasn't sunk in yet I don't think.
