So you cleaned it for nothing ?

I mean, it'd certainly accomplish the NFG car goal.

It looks like if we can manage to figure out a way to do it right that we might be able to save each other a bunch of money doing the swap. He just moved from OH to GA and will have to pay like $900 on his 6 to register it down there if he still has it on Jan 1. I'll have to pay $200 or so in tax on the if I have it here on Jan 1... might be able to keep at least $1100 away from if we before then.

Seems like a car... but the RX8 is way more .

Unless you want it forever, then it's probably a call. You waffle too much on cars to commit like that

Throw the RX8 in a storage unit up there until the spring to keep it nice and minty - keep it listed low-key on CL or Cars.com or Autotrader - and then start aggressively promoting in the spring when AutoX season starts again.

You own it outright, and it's a seasonal car. You're gonna need warm weather to sell it.

June?

Woof.

I don't plan on having my out until May at the earliest. April is still usually a crap shoot.

I've had the in the garage since the beginning of November I think. Guess I better pour the Stabil in the tank.

It was in my mind every single time I had to drive the frozen car that's sitting outside instead of in the garage that I own. Never again.
