Title: [WTB] a car, 2008 or later
Post by: Jixtreme on March 25, 2013, 08:46:42 PM
Long story short, since I have no interest in cashing out my coins (thank you, finCEN), I'm looking to buy w/BTC.

Pref. 2008 or newer; hoping for a sedan, wagon, or hatchback; ~$10k-ish (room to negotiate).

You must live in the continental U.S., preferably in the Mid-West.

We will determine the price in USD then convert to BTC upon making the deal.

But for now, just let me know Make, Model, Miles & Price, and we'll go from there.

2009 Ford Focus SE, ~80k, Recent OEM Glass, Auto, Black on Black Cloth
Small scuff on the rear bumper from being rear-ended by some douche in a Civic, only noticeable if the car is straight out of a wash.
New Hampshire Reg
All highway miles with a very small percentage stop and go (i93 and i95 alternating from NH to Boston, off hours, 50~ miles each way)

Will deliver with new tires, brakes, full tank of gas, and oil change from Sullivan Tire. Can put you up a night in our guest room on queen eurotop if you come out to drive it back. Maybe even have a few adult beverages and BBQ. I also live a mile from my gun range if you shoot.. we can pop off some indoor pistol.

Can easily accommodate a transport truck as I have a large driveway if needed.

Moving away from my city job soon so I can afford to deal it away around $9000

^ Good offer, thank you.

I'll wait a bit to see if any others pop up.

2006 Mazda 3 iTouring, 140k, Auto, Black Cloth, moon roof, gentex auto dimming mirror, alloy wheels, in dash 6 disc
A beautiful car. It's silver and has a few minor dings, but has been meticulously maintained(full service record available). I'm the second owner, my fiance' bought the car new and commuted from home to work & back every day(100miles highway).

My only gripe with the car is the new tires she got on it right before we met make too much road noise, though they're great tires in every other regard.

Not in any kind of hurry to sell, but it's just another car in the garage and it doesn't get driven much. The lady just leased a 2013 Mazda 3.

$4800 Central MI

That's funny I was thinking of doing the same thing! I also am in need of a car and since all my money is in bitcoins, I would really not want to bother wish cashing them out. Hope you don't mind if I browse your thread for potential vehicles as well.  ;D Don't worry I'll let you get first dibs OP!  ;)

Personally though for anyone reading, I am looking for someone preferably on the east coast USA, and I am looking for either a pick-up or a muscle car. Ideally a Ford F-150 or some kind of classic camaro or challenger.  8)

By all means, don't wait for me.

If I snooze, I lose.

Also, should I be concerned that there's more than one Yaris listed here? haha...

lol.... would you mind sharing why you're looking to get rid of it and what you liked/disliked about the car?

Well Ive called it a ZhuZhu Pet since my wife and I got it. But honestly, it hasnt been a bad car. We put ~130k miles on it and so far the only issue we had was the fuel injectors clogging. That being said, after two kids and multiple Huskies, it is still pretty beat up and I dont actually expect to sell it. But kid^3 is on its way so I might be forced to look at getting a freaking van...

I'm from the Minneapolis/St. Paul Area, but Chicago is definitely in range.

If you find something on chicago craigslist, I'd be willing to purchase for you.  You can negotiate with the seller, if you wish I'd be willing to take a look at the car and take/email pics. We would have to come to an agreement on the exchange rate.

Because Yaris was a HUGE selling car during the whole oil crisis. They have retained their values though. Mine comes with flashy wheels and whatnot but it has been babied and is still under 75k miles which is rare on these econoboxes. Forgot to add that it is a blast to drive on twisty roads still.  8)
