Need to sell my fr-s

Its a sad day but I am facing what could be up to a 1 year liscense suspension so the fr-s needs to go.

Asking 24,500 as thats my payoff if you know anyone looking please pass it along.

Apparently Carmax will give a good value for your car (See LIKEABOSS's selling thread).

Good luck with selling it. I'd buy it if I could, but already have one. Ultramarine is a very nice color.

They give you the best money for the value of the car. I traded in my (shitty) Sentra, and I was expecting to get around $3,500, but they offered 6000 even with a minor accident (hit and run, hit mirror), with mods and wheels.

I worked for corporate in IT for a couple of years. They'll pay a little more for new models like the FR-S and BRZ as it will help get people in the store to look, whether or not they eventually end up with that car. Other cars they will offer you well below market value, it all depends on their stock levels, time of year, etc.

I do miss working there for the employee discounts though. It was not good for my carwhoring.

Because Richmond folk don't want to buy a FR-S. They want to buy old Impalas and such.

I'll most likely be going to CarMax soon myself due to possibly a 1 year suspension as well. I have the same color, with a little under 4000 miles but mine is an automatic. But i'll let you know what the CarMax near Dulles says.
