Default Another goodbye

Well everyone I hate to join the masses but my truck just isn't reliable anymore and with fuel costs soaring I couldn't afford to keep fuel in its tank let alone fix it every 6 months. I got this little SX4 with 35,000 miles on it for $11,000 and could pass up the deal. It has a selectable awd system so while it obviously can't get out on tough trails it can preform fairly well on gravel and dirt roads. All while still getting 30 to 35 mpg...

With that bad news I offer some good news this means I will be selling the kensaw off road bumper, the light force offroad lights, and maybe the winch (not sure yet as one day I would like a jeep). I'm asking $500 plus shipping for the bumper and $100 plus shipping for the lights. I would be willing to meet people halfway if they are in NC or anyone interested is mor than welcome to come pick it up. Also the truck will be for sale for $3500. PM me if interested.

Some old pics.

I might have to take you up on the bumper. Um my cousin drives truck up that way I might be able to see if he could load it on the truck before he comes home but have to see when he is coming up next time. If you were in va I would tell you I would take it but its at the point where its kinda far to drive for a bumper.

I know what you're going through zan. I wanted a b5 s4 so bad last summer with my truck needing a lot of work. Plus a tt, v6, awd, 6 speed, car is right up my alley. Unfortunately they're hard to find and I wasn't able to find one I wanted in my price range before the end of summer. I ending up dumped a lot of money in my truck last summer. Now I just want to keep it since I'm close to paying it off. Once I'm out of school, I really want to get into a car. Just a matter of time and patience which I'm not too good at.
