Well, I've received an offer for my car from a local dealer that I'm finding hard to refuse. It's not what I was expecting, but you can expect much from a dealer. I'm so over everything about cars, that I'm pretty much "letting her go". It's a dealer that buys cars from auctions and puts body kits and rims on them, then resells them for a profit. After speaking with him at length about it on the phone, he promised me he wouldn't rice it out and it was basically for "show" only to promote his dealership. Granted, there are EVOs, hopped up civics, etc...on his lot that are actually pretty sweet. I'm going there after work today and we may close the deal. He commented that "your car was done right and I respect that" which made me value his opinion. He loans through the same bank that my car loan is at, so that makes it that much more convenient. I would at least get to see her every day on the way to work as I pass this dealership every day and she would probably sit on a pedestal out front waiting for someone to probably steal her, but it's okay.

I'll never go away from Honda-tech though and will post pics of my new ride when I get it.

Inform us what happens first, them ricing it out, or it getting jack from the lot.

Glad to see you got a deal you can accept though.

You live in Debary now Mike? damn. I was just there last week. Michael's Auto that use to be on Mills, but they got bigger and now have a dealership on 50. I'll let you know how it goes....all the puzzle pieces are falling into place though. "I know what the car is worth NADA and I know what you've done to it, therefore my offer is $xx,xxx.00" He's firm, but fair.

Sam

So how much did they offer?

Hope it works out for ya.

I'm pretty close to taking my 4 runner to a dealer asking them how much they'll give me for it and saying OK...

Bring on the CRV

That what your still planning on getting?

Are you set yet on a new car? Tell us what it is

Have you considered just trying to sell it outright? You'll make more $$, but then again sometimes time isn't an option

Chris, not the CRV

The car is on 5 different websites + Autotrader & Cars.com This dealer offered me the same as the highest bidders have with the exception of the bids coming from Cali, but it costs anywhere from $895 - $950 to ship my car there.

GokuSSJ4

I knew it had to be Mike Auto from the moment i saw that j00 live in FLorida and also when j00 said that they put rims and stuff on their cars then sell them. Those bastards have some nice cars, but i think this would be their first R, i've been there a couple of times. If they keep it out in the open like the other cars i bet it'll be gone s00n, lol and i aint talkin about bein purchased. But seriously, i hope j00 end up bein satisfied from what j00 get for j00r R cuz its a very nice lookin car. G00d luck bro

Peace

Im reppin the j00 language, lmao.
