Come closer, gather around!
Hear the tale of the tantalizing TWO
Sold my TWO thousand nine Altima Coupe VQ
for a gas saver '98 Altima GXE with over TWICE the miles
at 200,000, and got TWICE the doors and for TWO months it ran
'Til I totalled it into not my biggest fan, an F-150
TWO weeks fly, I guzzle gas with the Cruiser to get by
Then I hit gold when I stumbled upon
the GS 400;
Cost TWO times the price of the Altima now gone,
Paid TWO grand or so to fix up a few odd
Things.

Left the SC400 world when this happened, because I normally dont keep cars after being in an accident:





And happily joined the 2GEN GS400 world!

You did well at that price! I sold my 1999 ES300 with 170k for just $3,500. Apparently I wasn't asking enough :-)

We bought it brand new, all service records, even had a picture of it being delivered off the truck at the dealer haha. Had new struts, new transmission, new timing belt, and had the rear quarter panel rust removed. Should have kept it, but o well

Ah, ok. I think your price was justified and then some. I was the 2nd owner of my ES, but had all the service records since it was new from the previous owner. Probably could have held out for $4,000, but I had just bought my GS and wanted to find the ES a new home. Sold it in 2 days!

Sold mine to the first person who came to look at it. I bought the GS a few months before, had both insured and on the road and realized it was time to let it go

I had a Beige 1997 Oldsmibile 88, crashed it in Dec 2012. 4 months later of saving, bought a Silver 01 GS300, Black interior with 145k miles. I was going to buy a Silver 06 with Black interior, but I settled with the 01 instead.

1995 M3 E36
Sold it the week before I left for basic training for $5800.00

Loved the car but the GS was always on my mind even when I owned the M3...Having sellers remorse now so I'm back on the market looking for the right one on the side with my GS300. I also must add that I had no clue how much the GS guzzles gas until a month into my ownership haha. The E36 was surprisingly pretty good at gas mileage (5spd).
