Sad day - sold the M3

[M3 Esq]

Sorry to see that. I sold my LRP earlier this year and watched it leave on a trailer too so I know how you feel. Good luck bro I'm sure you'll find another car down the road

It was nice meeting you, Ben. Our garage was FTW. Come out again next year. I'll probably do a full weekend.

Many thanks to Ben being a great seller to deal with and answering my million and one questions. I am confident that I am getting a well cared for car. I can't wait for it to show up on my doorstep this Saturday. Coming from an Imola Red ZHP sedan, I am really excited to get into this V8

Just curious how you guys worked out payment? What if Ben was not so kind as to put the car in the enclosed trailer?

Same here, was great working with you on buying the wheels for COTA. And no "RIP", its in great hands with MotoNYC. In fact, he just text me that he just got it. He had to wait an extra day and a half because the other car in the trailer got delayed being delivered in Philly. But anyway, I think he's going to do some cool stuff with the car that I never got chance to. I will live vicariously through him!

Anthony arranged shipping and chose an enclosed shipper. As far as payment, first a small deposit so I could tell a few other interested parties the sale was pending, and then after working together for a couple weeks to iron out details (do an oil lab test, PPI, many more pictures and Youtube walk-through videos), we agreed on the sale price and money was transferred. Couple days later the truck arrived to pick her up. It's not easy by any means to do a deal like this, but if both parties have great communication (which we did), it's really kind of fun. Okay, maybe fun isn't the right word, haha, but it is satisfying when it all works out for everyone.

r1214- Congratulations on having your priorities straight.

During my family rearing years I was constantly switching between used 911's and BMW's to find the right mix of performance and utility. Affordability and reliability make Hondas today's best option. The damn things never wear out. People trade them because they get tired of the color.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have love at all...

Hope I can get away this year to join you all for the BMT!

Original type R!!? Please don't let that go unless you want to sell it to me! Sold mine 3 years back, had it since new 2000- my first love. Same reason u let the m go, family priorities but man I miss that car. Beautiful m btw, have a tuned 335 e90 and love it but an m is in the not to distant future.

That's one sweet looking AW E90! OP, Hope you find a worthy replacement (M5? M6GC?)

and congrats to new owner! I am sure the car is in good hands.

Great picture sequence. When your kids are shopping for their first car break it out and share it with them.

That comment just sent me to a place of anxiety that I was not yet ready to experience since my kids are 2 and 3. LOL. I'll need a few years to get used to the idea that they will someday want to drive dad's cars.

My granddaughter has been eyeing mine in the hope that I will hand it down when she gets her license. It's only a short 9 months away to her 16th. I'll let her dream on...

Nice collection of cars. Both the ITR and S2 are going up in value.
Would like to add both to my collection. But there are so many cars I want but not enough garage space. ..... Yet.
Family 1st. You can never go wrong.

I didn't realize how much time is spent with toddlers until I got this car - my whole weekends are consumed with her! Toying with selling it, as well given the equity into the car, but know i would regret it the second i let it go...

I also have small kids
However
In ten years I will think back
And not regret...

Getting a Honda Pilot and beating the hell out of it as a family ride
What a great vehicle
I too am a believer in Honda
