Default Some Saturday conversation

Hello CL friends,
I'm a bit at a crossroads, and would like to chat with some of the members here for some insight. I am in the process of trying to sell my IS350, however the interest has been meh.

As I keep dropping the price,to the point where she's chilling out on Ebay. I've found myself to the point where I may just keep her. We know how the mod bug can bite, and it's sinking it's teeth in.

A crystal white IS350 with an F-Sport front end or IS-C front end would look might fine.

what would you all do in my situation. It's currently just sitting (i have my daily, and my fiancee is putting in work in her new RX)

Not to mention I'm bored at home, watching forgetting sarah marshall, so some internet convo is always a good time

Mod her I have 350 also in mass the next state over. Most in the northeast will buy 250awd. That being said from what I've seen the age range are 40+ old lady and some guys who own the IS. You can change up the front or add a lip kit.

Oh nice, what part of MA? I do a lot of driving for work, and am always in that state. Would like to meet some folks around the area who have like interest.

I was reading another thread, and am now thinking if I can't sell her soon, I may even get her wrapped. Flat black would, or frozen gray (bmw color) would look pretty interesting on our vehicles

By the way if you get bored drag strip opens up in April. New England dragway is where I let the 350 lose it a great time.

What methods have you been using to sell it? Have you tried autotrader.com? I've always had success using that. Ebay is going to be a very limited population. Expand your options. Craigslists is another option though one I'd not personally go with, too many clowns.

And yeah, pics and some details about your car would be a helpful addition to this thread.

I haven't tried autotrader yet, however it may be a good option apparently. I have just moved to a part of the country where rwd isn't a liked option.
