Did you actually net $30k in one month or did you gross $30k in sales in one month? Big difference there.

But you need to sell your car to pay for college?

Wow, you're a great financial genius

Let me REPEAT MYSELF:

Any idiot with enough *****/intelligence can pull in $10k in one month.

What REALLY matters is can you pull in $10k a month for the next 20 years.

Maintaining success is way harder than achieving success.


You fall into the idiot category, sorry!

I like the plate and figured I'd ask, maybe you would offer it for a good price since I see you are liquidating your equipment. I luv those wheels, too bad they don't fit on the E-Class. I'd like for my next Benz to be an S-Class diesel... S400CDI ???? Sounds ohh soo goodddd....

BTW. 22yo Graduating college student.... If anyone wanted to know

JL88, I congratulate your success in life, but why are you so bitter towards apricot? I give him my condolences for having the priorities of selling his beloved car to get a higher education. Insteda of feeding him derogatory, perhaps you could give him support and self esteem. Besides, it's not easy for a HS student to make that kind of money, so perhaps congratulating him as well would be appropriate. It's an oxymoron by saying "Any idiot with intelligence....". Some may be able to, hence apricot and maybe kaveli, but it's not common.
Anyways, apricot, I doubt you will get $46k for your car. The market is dead. Cars aren't selling for what they are worth, unless it's new. Sorry.

Also, do you mind if I ask where you plan to go to college, and maybe what you intend to study? I am glad to see your priorities are strait...


Also, if you are planning to sell the car, why are you looking for flashier rims on it?

Sorry, but I forgot something regarding your car.

You say it's a 2000, yet unless I am mistaken, I see the '03 tail lights. Are those available as an aftermarket item to be installed seperately, or are you fooling us?

im lying about flashier rims, i got the 19" amgs off ebay for 1500 and they have no tread left even though seller said 75%+, so i sold them now for 2000$, netted 500$ and i am gonna get some rims with tires, i wont spend 1300$ on 19" tires on top of the 1500$ for rims... and its 2003 OEM s-class tailamps around 350$ for both, and i am not liquidating yet, i might goto UCONN and keep my car. sell it later in the fall, or if i make money, be able to maintain it, it costs 2K-3K$ a month for insur/gas/maint/repairs/depreciation/miles
