I was in a similar situation last year when I tried selling my FMII 95-M. No one would buy it even at market value.
So, I decided to keep her. Wife wasn't exactly happy with the initial decision but got on-board with even buying me a trailer for Christmas. It's now a dedicated DE car & doesn't have tags nor insurance. It sees track duty roughly once a month but otherwise sits on the trailer. I've been slowly, but surely stripping everything off the car that I don't need/want in order to lighten her. I don't regret making this decision although I did have to make certain concessions to the Wife. :) If you don't need the money & have space to keep her, why not just keep her?

I ran an Ebay ad for 10 days and Beast only got up to $4750 (didn't meet the reserve). I relisted it and ran it for another 10 days and it got up to $3350. Not exactly what I was hoping for. At $4700 I would probably just keep the car even thought I really don't have the room for it. I've cancelled the insurance and tags on the car so it may just be used as a dedicated race car. My wife is not happy with me not only giving her $5,000 but thinking about buying a trailer and having it sit in the yard <G>. Anyone have any advice for me (buy a trailer and keep the car to race it 3 times a year, strip all the goodies off of it and sell the shell for scrap, etc)? -- Robert McElwee and Blue Flash "The 50 MPG Miata" www.lightweightmiata.com/mpg Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
