Sun has set on my 96 i30....

Sold my i30 yesterday, I am in the hunt for a suitable replacement. Dunno what I am going to get yet, I have several other cars right now that I need to sell. When I do I will get another nice car to hang onto for a while, I thinking GS400, maybe LS400. Or maybe a $3000 Max
and another Polaris Sportsman 700 Twin.

Dunno yet, the dealer auctions have ENDLESS choices, so we shall see.

You have access to dealer auctions? How so? Or do you have a business license to attend them? Or are these public auctions? Thanks.

I own a car dealership.
Not that big, but I have sold up to 10 cars a month. Right now I have 4 nice cars, and a few older cars that are MUCH easier to make money on.

I like to have a car that I drive on a consistent basis, and for the last 6-7 months the i30 has been it. I have had several other maximas as well. I may get another, who knows.

I cant believe u sold it! Good luck with finding a new car, take a look at 95 5spd maximas. Did you sell it with all ur mods? Be sure to come on the boards everyonce and a while. Good luck with the new car search.

Jack of all trades I am, Master of none?

I am a Police Reserve now, not full time (haven't been for about 5 years). Full time job is as a CPA (public accounting) but my true love has always been buying and selling cars. So I rented a lot and opened a dealership! My cars go on the lot and in the paper, and I go there when people are interested in driving them!

Damn...that's a shame. I hope you sold it to someone who will appeciate the "I". You should definitely stick around. Resources are always hard to come by.

Good luck.

The new owner is mid thirties, with a speed streak I can tell. I will see him again on monday and I will tell him about the .org. Doesn't seem like the internet type of guy though.

PS, I sold the 2.5TL in my sig too and now have a VERY clean VERY nice not to fast Integra on Enkeis and Toyo FZ4s. Handles awesome, but not quick enough.
