Forces the sale of my wonderful car... I will miss it. I will forever be a fan of the older BMW's and when business picks up again... I might just have to get another one ;)

Anyone else around here have an older BMW (e28, e30, e32, e34)?

Just so you don't feel alone-----we had to sell our boat a couple months ago.
The only real toy we had and we live next to a lake. But you got to keep a roof over your head.
Oh ----the boat was not near as sharp as your car.
 
Its a bummer =(
But yes, like you said, I am not in danger of starving, I owe no money to anyone, and even though I am selling, it was not a foolish buy. Just not one that would be the wisest to keep at this time. Esp. consider I would like to get married in the not-too-distant future =)

And with the car - I also was able to learn a LOT about how vehicles work and how to maintain them. Did pretty much every preventative maintenance item possible on it because I thought I would be keeping it forever!

Thanks for commiserating ;)
 
Well, just over a week after I posted it on Craigslist, it sold. Happy to have the extra money but sad to see it go! I am very thankful, however, that it sold so quickly in this market, and that I did not even lose money in its ownership and maintenance =)
 
Hey Joel,

You said you'd like to get married in the not so distant future... you have any idears for a woman or are you just hopeful :?)

Joel,
I sold a car once because I wanted to get married.... actually I did get married and the car wasn't practical for a family man... she already had a little girl and the car was a 1965 Corvette Stingray convertible... no room for the baby. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't last and today the car would be worth roughly $25K.

Yes, and I did. And it went very well up until the initial bailout talk where I lost all of my fall customers (the ones who can afford irrigation, but barely).

E34 BMW's don't have the collector's value your Stingray does ;) In fact, I bought that car for $2,650. Worth every penny and then some. But I digress...
