You must sell it to someone worthy like someone on this forum. Don't ever let this car go to someone who has no clue what they have a hold of!!!

haha. i would love to, trust me! but no offers yet.

Noice!!!

Wait, are you at the courthouse? What did you do now

LOL. in the rear of the courthouse is the MTO office - getting plates for the Touring... which didn't happen, as their network was down. blah. gotta go back today.

Haha I don't have the time nor money for that. Plus I love my car too much to gut her.

yeah, i can appreciate that.

BAT time?

not unless they agree to raise the reserve.

Ah.

[slater]

Ah.

yeah. i am kinda on the fence about it, because at the reserve price they suggested, i'd be taking a bath on the car. and i don't want that... i enjoy being married. but what if it went higher... closer to my asking price? who knows.

This is why I was wondering how'd you'd possibly make any money on the car, way back when you said you were looking to flip it. lol

do you think $13,500 USD is unreasonable?

What I meant by that comment is that ZHP's can't usually be obtained cheap enough to be able to do maintenance on them and sell them for a profit, considering what most ZHPs are valued at. That is why I am surprised that you were looking to make a profit - buying parts adds up, even if you're doing all the work. Whether or not I think $13,500 is reasonable is not something I'm going to comment on, just wanted to clarify my comment since you weren't sure what I meant by it.

I just didn't think you could have gotten a good enough deal on the Estoril ZHP to be able to make any profit on it considering its decent condition at purchase, that's all.

part of it is a labor of love, obviously. i love doing it. but i also have to pay myself for my time, so i would never take on a project if i didn't think it was feasible to do so. i will admit that with this car, i was smitten from the first time i saw it - and we all know that sometimes that can get you into trouble.

If it was an Estoril sedan and I wasn't bored of the E46 platform, I'd have picked it up from you already.

If I just got rid of my ZHP and was looking for a replacement I could have picked the coupe up from you!
