Good luck with school.

Headliner sagging, needs new tires, funny I didn't get this info from John when he sent me pictures that were in the profile and after specifically asking for any and all known defects. And I was even told the tires were in good shape.

It's a shame too because I was going to offer 13K for this car but couldn't get any responses to my questions.

This is why it's hard to sell cars, sellers aren't always up front then gets pissy with buyers for their offers.

Good luck in med school.

Right now in the worse of times to sell anything, cars house , ect. But if the headliner and say some small dings here and there and a major clean-up and if the paint isn't shot, then my poinion it's worth like 11.9K to 12.5K or better. It'd be best if you could store it till spring. The headliner is a super easy fix (Done it myself with 3M spray adhesive and some nice gray flannal fabric, cost around $25.00 all done) I know you need money buy if selling it has had some interest and it has, i'd wait rather than get a bad experience and be pissed later on.

Grats. Now go finish up school and buy an sl63 amg like every other doctor.

Also I would recommend spending the extra $2k on an upgraded commuter.
