Default Buy an 88 924S- please!

I guess a public apology and willingness to leave the forum is in order.

Please- anyone for a well-sorted 924S? I REALLY need to sell this car ASAP.

Someone buy my car- fire sale prices apply- take advantage, 4 grand OBO. over 12 grand invested.

I really need the cash now- so there isnt a bad offer. I'd be willing to drive this car to any potential owner. No matter which coast.

This is a serious offer.
I Need the cash desperately.

Im sorry things arent going your way at the moment. Leaving a place where you are very well received, have tons of friends, have get togethers with some of the coolest guys Ive ever met...why when things arent going all that great are you going to throw in the towel to a place that obviously means alot to you? Just curious...sorry cant help on the car. Ive got one to unload as well.

No, brother- It just seems to all happen at once- better off I say.

Call it Karma.

forgive me for not further understanding the animosity between you and tifo, but is it really great enough to leave. i wouldnt imagine so. I understand you are going through a road bump (or mountain) in your life right now, but perhaps selling something you put so much time and effort into really isnt the way to make it all better. Personally i think of my 944 as a place to unwind and having it gives me an escape, if you will. I may not know you as well as others but i have seen the work you have done and the effort you have put in to rennlist, your car, and your life in general and i cannot understand why you would leave despite your life problems and tifo being nominated for moderator. if you need some cash, then we'll setup a fundraiser (i guess this has already been done). I, for one, am always willing to help a fellow p-car fan. Seriously though, dont sell your car, we here at rennlist are a community and will help if you are in a money bind.

WTF? Nobody wants to see you leave man. Nor do we want to see you have to sell your car.

Undoubtedly you've been through a very difficult and traumatic experience, and are STILL going through it, but seriously I think you need to step back and take a few breaths. The worst decisions are always made when encumbered by strong emotions. If you're upset or angry, you're more likely to make decisions or do things you'll regret later on.

Don't get me wrong man, I think your attitude has been admirable - hearing someone say the things like you've said "people matter, everything else is secondary" shows a wisdom beyond your years. Hang in there, be cool and a solution will present itself in time.

Yes, and I must sell to pay DR bills for someone else. I have no choice.

The Rennlist BS is the least of my worries, but I thought you all should know.

You may have to pay doctor's bills, but you will have time to pay them. It's not like payment is due or they'll pull the plug. . . You get a certain period of time and even if there's a penalty such as fees, it may be worth your while to consider using them depending on the specifics of your situation.

You have friends here and people that really do want to see you pull through this and are willing to help out. Please just don't implusively assume you have to do things right now, rashly. Give it time.

I'm AUTO insured heavily- perhaps an unplanned fireball is in order.

Chris - I'll be saddened if you do end up selling your car and leaving the list. I won't pretend to understand all your reasons for your choice about this. I'll simply say you're a great asset on rennlist and i hope you reconsider. We need more daily driving 924S owners not fewer!

You and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you the best of luck...

I'm glad you got it sold but sorry about the reason you had to.
Please let me know how Patty is, ok?

As I said in my PM earlier, I have to do a little house cleaning around here.

You may want to consider bankruptcy if you can't pay the medical bills. Its not the financial responsible thing to do but if all else fails, I heard of people escaping paying medical bills that way though you can pretty much do that only once before they catch on.

CHris - please do not sell your car without sleeping on it (for a week or two). I'm sure there are many of us that would help you out financially. DOn't cut ties with everything that's preciuos to you right now. You're hurting and it's hard to make the gray matter work like it's supposed to. Please, I beg you, give this a little time.
