$19,900 - 2004 ZHP Sedan - Lots of OEM Performance Upgrades, Central NJ

Thank you. I like to turn over cars ever 6 months or so. I think part of me gets bored and part of me tries to out-pace depreciation, though that isn't much of an issue with ZHP's! They seem to have held strong or even appreciated a bit.

Thanks - he should give you a commission as I wouldn't have been a member here without your reference!

I hear you and am actually jealous!

Doesn't the sales tax you pay affect your decision w.r.t this rapid turnover? (Forgive me, i am not trying to probe; intrigued because you mentioned the financial aspect of trying to out pace depreciation.)

Hope the eBay biddings are going strong for this beauty.

Sales tax is a huge consideration, but I try to find the right car at the right price and factor the sales tax as part of the purchase price.
Paying $500 to $1000 in sales tax, when amortized over 6+ months is a lot better than leasing something for $500+ per month for 6+ months - at least that is the way I see it....

Pending sale, deposit taken.

This could have alcantara if you want it to....was in the process of negotiating for a set before I decided to buy another one and possibly sell this.

So, you're no longer interested?? Lemme know, and good luck selling this car. She's a beauty I'm sure.

Rajan did you buy this car?! If not, why not?!

No, not me Marc, although it was very tempting given the color + low mileage + the care he had taken + no shipping. Laziness and lethargy play a huge role - and price to an extent - in the continuing procrastination. :D

(Struggling to let go off my current one for sentimental reasons but its recent ignition coil failure is nudging me into action. So, might put a WTB soon for an AW or TS. )

Illirep - congrats and hope you got the price you wanted!
