Default Good bye my SC400

I just posted sale ad on craigslist. My sc400 don't have any problem and I love it but I want a manual transmission car so bad. I might come back with manual SC300. Anyone have advice on selling a car on craigslist? It's my first time selling car privately. What happen if buyer hits something while test driving my car?

Here's picture I posted...

I am a college student and I am just waiting to do a manual conversion on mine! You should do it too!

Anyway, ask for a down payment or just say no one can drive it with out cash in hand..

You're ridiculous. See my thread on how I converted my SC400 for about $1600-$1800 if you look around and it took 1 day to install everything.

Seems your very new to the forum.... and very misinformed.

There have been a few successful swaps, RedPhoenix did it perfectly and for far less than you could imagine it would cost.

wow clean sc.. 350z wheels dont look so bad on sc. If you got money do a swap, if you aint sell it than go buy sc300 thats manuel .. Its all about the budget. Always go with them when they test drive your car!

I agree with the above. If you want a manual do the conversion. Hard to find a clean vehicle and if you have had the car for a little while you know the history. A new car can yield you uncertain issues.

Very clean SC4! Don't sell it! Keep it! It's hard to find an SC in good condition.
