    Hey,

    OK, so heres the deal. I pre-ordered the Nissan 350Z back in March, and delivery time is near now, about 2 months. Browsing thru EBay, I am thinking that maybe I'll just sell it ... its only *choke* a car *choke*

    The prices I've seen have been outrageous. People are selling their rights to the car, and the average price I have seen is like $7K ... so thats a $6K profit right there, for doing NOTHING. The highest I've seen so far is $15K ... which is f***in unbelievable!

    The insertion fee for a car is $40, but what if I don't get the price I want ... $40 down the drain, so question is ... should I go ahead with Ebay? or do you guys know any other methods that are cheaper?

    Thanks!

    The average price you've seen is $7k...and that's a $6k profit. So the car costs $1,000???!!!! I'm confused. :(

    Its just the rights to a pre-ordered car not the actual car. The 350
    is rare. Its like the PT Cruiser or Thunderbird. So its the assurance that you will get one thats being sold along with the car.

    $40 for a great chance to make at least 5K? That's a no brainer in my books. Go for it!

    Unless you can think of a better way to make 600% on your money in this economy, sell it.

    I did the same thing with the 2003 SL 500 Mercedes. I placed a $500 down payment about a year and a half ago and hope to be able to sell my right or arbitrage the car to make a quick $10,000 from someone that doesn't wish to wait.

    As much as I would like it myself, sticker price with options is close to $100,000!!

    The SL500, even the 2002 model, is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever driven ... luxury defined!

    Comfiest interior, smoothest drive and sexiest look ... WOW

    There's a good way to waste your money. :)

    The Boxster S doesn't accelerate quite as fast as the 350Z. So you get less performance for almost twice the cost of a Z. Hmm... no thanks. :)

    Nissan baby!
