Default Need Help Please!

My job has relocated me 32 miles from my house which means I am driving my S2000 64 miles a day. This car is not meant to be an everyday driver like this and too nice of a car do put that kind of mileage on. I am desperate to sell it very FAST. I asking for help with this and to see if anyone knows anyone who might be interested in buying an S2000. It is a 2004 that I bought brand new four months ago. It has only 4224 miles on it and is basically still a brand new car. I am going to try and post some pics of it later today and make a more formal selling ad. If anyone has any ideas on the best way to do this or anyone interested in the car, please let me know either through PM or just adding to this post. I might even have some type of commission for the help if sold. Thanks again

Why don't you just buy a beater?

Sucks that you have to drive so far now, but you should really consider what "thatguyjosh" and "SpeedxRacer" said. Maybe a little negative, but it really does make sense.

Well those are both very good points. I love the car and hate the thought of getting rid of it after only four months. The main problem here is for one, having to fill up every four days with premium gas(do the math 60 miles a day gets me about 4 days worth), having to drive through rush our traffic twice a day( it takes me an hour and a half to go from Mckinney to Downtown Dallas) hell on the clutch and left leg, as well as the car being a lease, the mileage will screw me in the end. Don't get me wrong I am not just bitching about everything, I have been driving sports cars all of my life and the thought of going to a Jetta( 46 miles to the gallon) sucks and is not my idea of a sports car, but I have no other option at this time. I cannot afford to buy another beater car to drive back and forth to work that I know will be reliable to drive those miles. I am just asking for assistance with trying to sell my car and want to know if anyone is interested in it or knows someone who might be.

P.S. How do you post pictures on a post?

Thanks

You can host it on a website and link it using the "IMG" tag. Try posting out full details and maybe you can get some buyers, also try autotrader.

Or you could just drive to the DART station at Parker & Avenue K and take the train. I bet you could get your company to pay for your monthly DART pass too.

I do appreciate all of the great ideas to try and keep my car, but unfortunately I just can't. I will be posting the car on Auto trader as well as Ebay, as I said before if anyone is interested in it let me know. It is a beautiful car and only 4 months old.

Thanks again

Ronnie

Thanks for the info, yes I probably will take a hit, but if I can get between 27 and 28k. I wll break even and be happy. I see that you have one for sale as well. How is that going and what are you looking to get for it?
