She found a new home...
Well, the time has come and she has left her home and found a new one.
The guy was really nice and loved the car so it made me feel good.
For all you Black and Silver lovers, he said the best part of the car was the color so maybe some day we can put Aegean Blue on the same level as Silver and Black.
I got $125,000. I think I could have gotten more if I wanted to hold out but I just didn't want to go through the headaches and I could tell they were about to come as many of you had described.
I had three buyers but not sure how many were real. He showed up today with a check and that was good enough for me. You can't buy peace of mind and it is now done.
Probably going to buy either a Jaguar sedan or BMW 750 LI as my daily driver.
Can't wait for my Aston Martin Vanquish S to show up.
Thanks to everyone for all their support and comments. I am sure you will still see me around as I have enjoyed our discusssions.
Again, many thanks.

2002 BMW 745Li Black/beige, 2006 SL600 Capri Blue/Black still on order
Glad you sold it...kinda sorry I didn't buy it. Still waiting...sigh. On the good side, my new 750Li arrives at port May 19, so should have it a bit later so I can tell you how it goes with your potential daily driver. Still enjoying the sun in the Caribbean?

I am probably going to get the new 2006 Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio which is a limited production upgraded Super V8. I believe they are bringing in only 150 a year to the USA.

I did some research on the Jag, and I think I'd pick that as well. It's faaast!

What about the new Bentley sedan? In a recent comparison with the Mercedes S it won by a decisive margin, a real tidal wave on wheels.
Interesting you are looking at two British made cars, even if alot of the DNA comes from Ford...

I think I like how the British do business.

Well I certainly hope the Aston Martin experience is entirely positive. I know they are working extremely hard to establish and build their reputation so when things do go wrong they just bite the bullet.

He is touring the United States and meeting existing Aston Martin customers and personally going through their cars with them making sure they are in perfect conditon and trying to understand any problems. When I was introduced to him yesterday, he had a flashlight in his hand and was going through the trunk of a DB7 making sure everything was working.
It was a real treat to listen to him and hear his goals and aspirations for the company. Everything was centered around making sure the customer had a great experience at all levels. I can tell you this is one great company.
We talked about Mercedes Benz and it was extremely interesting about what he had to say as he was well aware of the company's position.
