Bitter sweet!

WELL I SOLD MY 87 C4. I WAS SO INDECISIVE ON WHETHER TO FIX HER OR NOT FROM THE MINOR FENDER-BENDER 3 WKS AGO. BUT, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT; I SOLD HER TO A CAR COLLECTOR. BETWEEN THE INSURANCE AND WHAT I SOLD HER FOR I DID GREAT. IT WAS VERY SAD TO SEE HER GO BUT IT WAS BITTER SWEET. HE IS GOING TO TOTALLY REPAIR AND PAINT HER AND PUT HER IN HIS WAREHOUSE OF COLLECTABLES.

SOME MAY SAY THATS JUST NUTS. YOU SHOULD HAVE FIXED HER AND DROVE THE WHEELS OFF OF IT. BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH IT WOULD HAVE COST MORE TO FIX AND PAINT HER (THE WHOLE CAR NEEDED TO BE PAINTED)THEN IT'S WORTH. THIS PUTS ME IN A BETTER POSITION FOR THE NEXT GENERATION A C5. I AM NOW ON THE PROWL FOR A C5. DON'T GET WRONG I LOVED THE C4 AND MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL HAVE ONE AGAIN.

THANKS,
PAUL

Don't be surprised how fast you adapt to a C5 after being in the C4. I really liked both of my C4s and they were great cars, but the C5s I own are tremendous. Would not go back to a C4, but I still like them and do miss my 94 convertible. My advice, find the C5 that you really like and want, then buy it and be happy again.

You can find a heck of a deal on a low mileage LT4. Honestly that is the way I'm thinking now.

Thanks!!

I am really excited. I have found 1 so far but high miles.
2000 with 80k for $16.9k. Too much. (I think anyway.) Made an offer of $ 12.5k. Waiting to hear back.
