I like the ring of jellybean.

It’s also a car sellers market. That’s why I unloaded the jeep. Who knew people would pay so much?

I should unload my avalanche and my other vr4. Then buy a nicer truck.

Doesn’t hurt to test waters. I listed the jeep for $10,500 and it sold for just under that. You might be surprised what you get for yours.

Our Mazda is in decent shape, but it's hardly pristine. It's been parked outside the entire time we've owned it, and it's been lightly rear ended twice. There's obvious marks on the bumper. It has 75k miles. One or both front wheel bearings are making noise, and the tires are shot. We were going to take care of both of those items before the Jellybean came up. They still offered us $6700 for it. I was blown away by that.

Used car market now is insane. Which is why I am babying my car along for as long as possible even without repairing the major outstanding items.

The market sucks right now. On the other hand, this is a pretty unique car. We're in an extremely good spot financially, so we're going to enjoy it.

Well, I certainly CAN throw the car up on FB marketplace for 7k and see what happens. (I think Carmax offered 6k) We have a few weeks before the Audi arrives.

Oh yeah it was more in regards to my own situation (and how much they offered for the Mazda).

Michigan Steve has almost that exact car. His seats are black instead of gray. I drove it last time we were in town. It's nice. I'm super jealous of the digital cluster. The massaging seats were pretty great too. I wish that was an option on the Jellybean.

Yeah I really like how Audi does their digital cluster. The one Ford has on the F150 looks goofy to me.

I've really wanted an S4 ever since I sold my Legacy, but I've always been terrified of Audi maintenance and repair costs.

I loveeee my S4, there is seriously nothing about this car that I dislike. And it sounds really mean with an intake. Other than spark plugs every 40k the service requirements aren’t any worse than other cars. It fits 5 comfortable, 0-60 in just over 4 seconds and gets 30mpg on road trips. Can’t beat it. Thats a good price too.
