The time has come

[inVision]

I am very sad to do this but it is for the better - I'm only 30 so in time I will be able to get back into this. Man, I was only 26 when I bought this car. For now, my career and future comes first. This is truly my dream car, I used to have an 02 Z06, I sold it and kept the R - thinking I would keep this one forever.

So....I've set up a private auction. Bidders will remain confidential. I encourage you all to bid, as I'd rather see the car go into the hands of a true track junkie :rockon: I'm really just using ebay as a form of communication, so email me before you bid. The car doesn't have to meet reserve to sell, if you know what I mean - so don't hesitate to bid (hint hint).

Mike,

Sorry that you are not in a position to keep the R! I know it must give you great pain to think of giving it up at this time. However, as you mentioned, you are still very young; and I am certain you will own another high performance car (or two, or three...) in your lifetime. Who knows, you might be able to get a Ford GT at some point?

Someone is going to pick up a VERY nice ride!!

Keep us posted!! and best of luck! Be sure to keep lurking here. You are always welcomed here, even after you sell the R.

Well, auction ended today at $35,101 - and it will go the high bidder at that price. So someone scored BIG time.

Thanks for your support Andy, I will definitely keep in touch on this forum. You have all been very helpful and definitely have a great online community here.

I guarantee you, I will be back. I truly loved this car, and I will always be looking for that same "soul" in the future.

Doesn't $35K seem low for a 2000R with so many desireable/expensive "race additions" as well as some show/race history, in comparision to the low mile originals we have seen run through eBay recently bringing $40K+ final bids? What's up with that??
