Yep! I did it myself. This car is VERY nice. I wish I had the coin.

Good luck with your sale, Jonathan.

Nice car. That is one clean car for the age/miles. The interior looks showroom new. If this car had a third pedal I'd be hanging a for sale sign on my wagon right now.

That didn't take long!

first post updated.
Some cars I've been saddened to sell, others all too glad that they were gone.
This one I have no emotions about.
I truly hope the new owner comes to love it, I never did.

Somehow I think you'll still be complaining about it for years to come.

Oh well, I think I may have just bought another in need of some love.

That would be a nice thing to read if I was the new owner

Moving to a maligned Amerissat, Jonathan?

The NMS? When do we get the NMV (new midsized variant)?
B99 / B100?
No, I'm quite content with the pair of VE ALHs.

Lucky Me

Just drove the car home to NC and can say I already love it! Jonathan took amazing care of this vehicle and it looks absolutely brand new inside & out. Amazing for a car with 180000 miles on it! Hope it is still purring in 180000 more. It was great to work with Jonathan and I'm pretty sure I got spoiled in what a car looks like when picking it up for a private sale! Thanks again! - Mark

Love the commitment to BD! Keep it up.
