LOL look no further, I'm buying it!

Well, at least you can let us know if it's a 6spd/auto, leather/cloth, what mods it has, has it been raced, etc. But something you already should know by now is that a bunch of high quality pictures (using your own hosting so that it's for free) and a really good sales speech will work wonders on eBay, so that's your best bet if you ask me.

you should check out following to get idea of what your car is worth...but i'm guessing 15-17k sounds about right...

You can probably get a lot of you lie. Say it was owned by a nissan tech who took care of it maticulously. Say that it was never raced. It was only used for travel.
Pictures would definatly be nice.

Ive seen 2k2 maxima with that much milage priced as low as 11.5k and as high as 15.5k (at dealerships) and that for a base maxima with maybe a sunroof.

This is nothing. A person I know sold his car at 140% pure profit after all eBay/transaction expenses. All it took was some serious brainwashing and a an extra page with ~100 pictures

I wish I could. Writing a paper and the .org has so far been doing a brilliant job slowing me down.

140% isn't that bad only if the car is of BMW 7-series calibre

If I knew one, only one person with your mentality to offset my gross procrastination habits, I would be the happiest person in the world. I always wait until the last day before exam to study. I wish I could have taken the summer off, but I'm getting too old to be still going to school, so I'll torture myself a bit more.

haha, I have terrible study habbits.. as you can see.. I spent all day posting on this forum.. I waited one time the day before my exam freshman year. I thought I would be smart and wait and pull an all nighter and go in the morning and take the test. So I study all night and get ready in the morning.. and then I decide to just lay down for a second... then I get up and go take the test.. Next thing I know I open my eyes and Im laying in my bed.. OH NO! I dreamt that I went and took the test when infact I slept through it and missed it!! luckily that was the first test out of 4 and they only counted 3 and the final. So I learned my lesson the hard way.

Oh shucks, that happens to me on a daily basis. I've missed half my classes (and thus quizzes) this year, after all-nighters. Another thing is that I don't retain the information if I study way ahead of time, so all-nighters are my best bet. But what i hate the most is writing papers, that's what's killing me.

What year are you in right now?

I am a senior by credits (I lost credits when i transferred to my new school) I was supposed to graduate in may, but Im delayed one semester. Some people do better with all nighters.. Me, i suck at it, I cant absorb so much info in one night.. Besides, I get screwed if I dont know something and I dont have anyone to ask. So I play it safe... My first semester in college I managed a 3.3.. I Worked my butt off to bring it to the 3.83 it is today.

Wow. 3.83 is beyond impressive for a guy, especially in your field. Is it your folks who encourage you to study or what? I'm amazed, guys for some reason always function on the 'come what may as long as it's a passing grade' principle. My GPA is a bit higher than that, but I really have high standards. I could put myself through hell to get an A. People usually just don't bother. But even a 3.83 for a guy is probably the highest I know of, and your school must be really hard.

All-nighters do not work!!!!

Last summer session i was taking physics and calc 3.
Physics i'm decent in, i stayed up all night, walked in that morning and took the test, lets just say i kindly withdrew after. Ironically now the more I think about it, it wasn't too bad. Just too much work (8 credit hours in a one month period!!!)

Now I'm doing 6 credits, 2 ams courses... not nearly as bad, plus they are at 6 at night, so i can be up all night doing whatever, go in and study in the library during the day.

Summer session==stress!!

8 credits in one month is not that bad at all.. I did that one summer in 4.5 weeks. But I didt work at the time so All i had to worry about was that 8 credit hours, studying, and taking the tests...

That's basically what I'm trying to do now. 12 credits in 12 weeks, ending a week from today It saves a lot of time, but unfortunately summer school instead of being easier is much more intensive. Or at least in my particular case.

If it weren't for the labs, i would've been fine.

The physics class was pretty rough because it focussed only on magnetism and electrical stuff, too many different integrals to learn, and that on top of calc 3 and i was all calcused out.

I'm going to just take it over again, i didn't want a lousy grade, like you i'm trying to do exceptional, so in my case i can get into the 5 year masters prgoram for cs.

I tried CS but guess what, it just wasn't for me. My teacher in my VERY first programming class hated me to death and that's how I got to hate freaking C++ and the like. Now I even help out my cousin with his hw because I really dig that field, but back then I changed my major because of a stupid teacher.

I had labs too, and it was terrible.. 3 time a week. I dont know how many days you did it, mine wasnt that bad.. M, T, W, THR were classes. and M, T, THR were labs. (chem and bio) But i never took calc 3 so you must have been stressed.

I used to think that CS majors had it easy.. And I always told myself, its a freaking computer stuff and its not hard.. and thats a BS major.. Then one day I took the first CS class.. I know a lot about computers, and I thought I would ace it.. "EASY A" was what I called it. Guess what, everything just flew over my head.. I had no freakin clue what was going on with programming this and that. I dropped it and added another class..

It's screwed up, but they try and weed out the major. THey do that on purpose, that shock factor they depend on to kinda phase people out. I had this jerk professor to tell me to consider a different major once, because i have real problems taking tests. In a sort of rub it in your face way, i went in and got one of the highest scores on the final, he agreed to fix my grade and give me something OK.

People think CS is all about computers only, but it's really about algorithms, and the mathematics and fundementals that allow computers to work. Programming is just an application. The classes themselves are very doable, you just gotta learn to crawl before you run you know?

I thought the same thing that it would be easy, because i worked in the computer field for 4 years, but when i got to school i learned its a real different atmosphere. There is an art to taking college classes i guess.
