Need a "new" car: gallery for offers

[ReiTheJelly]

Well, I honestly never thought it would come down to this...but my car literally fell apart and I need to buy a new-used one. I live in a fairly affluent area, so used cars are damn expensive. The cheapest one I could find with less than 100,000 miles on it...was $4500 and almost as old as my current car (12 years). >_<

So, yeah. My entire gallery is up for offers in an attempt to raise this money without getting an auto loan. Please do not think I'm desperate. Yes, I need the money, but I'm not going to sell my prized pieces for pennies. All reasonable offers will be considered. E-mail reithejelly[at]gmail.com, or use my gallery feedback link.

Basically, my car rusted out. If that piece actually snaps completely off, my engine will fall out of my car into the street...while I'm driving. I've spoken to several people about welding it back together, but everyone says that it isn't a good idea and won't hold, thus still sending me to my doom if I drive it. My car is 12 years old and has 182,000 miles on it, so I don't feel too badly about it finally giving out. I just wish it had waited 6 months. >_<

Good luck, Rei! I hope you get some great offers and that you're able to get a new car soon.

Thanks to everyone who has offered! I was able to raise a pretty significant amount of money, but with an expense this large...more is better. So keep those offers coming! http://stemcels.rubberslug.com


A few items have found new homes, so keep an eye out for their relocation in the next week or so. Items include my CCS wand transformation pan, a sketch of Inu no Taisho from the 3rd IY movie, a Saiunkoku sketch set, and one of my two Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer cels.
While I'm sad to see these items leave my gallery, I know their new owners will take great care of them! And it just goes to show: you never know what I'm willing to part with, for the right price.

Don't forget to haggle for the new car! They are always willing to come down on the price. You can look up the values here: http://www.kbb.com. A lot of banks won't approve your car loan or advise against the purchase if the price strays too far from the Kelly Blue Book value.
