Default Selling an orange car

$35k sport and touring, Ill give myself some leeway and say it has around 19k miles for now but I drive it a lot. Almost new kumho ecsta tires, free autographed picture of me which will be worth thousands. It had a tad of body damage but it was fixed at lotus of durham. I opened the door too wide and i had to get a new hinge and misc fiberglass chips repaired. the damage was so minimal looking that it was hard to see until you got real close.

Uh... I dont know how to post pictures, but the car looks like any orange one that you see on the internet, except that they arent as good looking because im not sitting in it.

I got to drive one at Lotus of Durham last summer when they had a test day. Once you figure out how to get in and out of the car, it is far and away the best car I've ever had the opportunity to drive. Good luck on selling. I think I'm still about 10-15 years away from experiencing a mid-life crisis unfortunately so I can't justify buying one yet.

Uh. I am getting rid of it because Uncle Willy has left me an F 430 in his will. He was an inventor who innovated a way to galvanize donkeys. Oh wait. I think it was an F150. Same thing.

I am not sure if I want to get rid of it or not. I am trying to beef up the way my finances look so I can make some large, idiot investments as usual. Also, this is my first car that I have ever wanted that I actually bought. At the time I bought it, I didnt know that I am one of those people who just gets bored of posessions, and I dont mod anything.

Tidalwave, it has that clear tape looking stuff on the front and sides to protect the paint, and it has the special sport pack and touring thing. No hard top, but you can buy one new from lotus for $1400. They leak. My car does not leak as it is right now. I would contemplate a trade + cash for an S, depending on what you perceive your S to be worth, but far warning: I do not count any mods as adding worth, and I judge value as what I think I could sell it for.

My son's name is Voltron. He is a demanding boy, and yes I am his slave most of the time.
