6 Weeks...

that is how long it took me after giving up my 8, until I absolutely had to have another. I am leaving for Iraq in the summer and really thought I could just do without it...man, was that shortlived. I supposed I'm whipped.

I went from Red to Black and even picked up my new one on Ebay...it was pristine and in a dealer garage surrounded by automotive beauty: A lambo, 2x ferrari, 911 and my ultimate favorite...Aston Martin. I drove it 600 miles home and it performed flawlessly. I was skeptical about making an Ebay purchase, but now I am sold.

Back in the family.

It is a Black '05 GT...I had a red '05 before. It only has 23k on it and immaculate w/ red black leather (just as before).

Price: I placed a proxy bid up to 13,500 and won with 13,050...a steal.

Congrats! That's a crazy good deal. I got mine from a similar place in Chicago, surrounded by the same cars. They had a DB9 that I almost dry humped. It would have been amazing. Welcome back!

Incredible deal for a clean, low mileage car!

I wonder how much wholesale is on such a fine example if he let it go for so cheap...

The salesman said the owner was pi$$ed off because they didn't end the auction on Sunday. I think that is ebay class 101. Using his words..."lost thousands" (I didn't believe all that and surely won't cry for them).

When that window opens, click on "seller's other items". That is an impressive set of cars.
