Found my old car today (EP)...it found me!

BlairSpeed · 07-23-2007, 06:36 PM

So I got a call on Sunday afternoon from a friend who lives in Oceanside. He said he thought he just saw my old EP3 on a car lot. I live in Encinitas (about 15miles south) so I drove up there to check it out. I originally traded my car in to a dealership when I picked up my FA5 so I was surprised to hear it was at a used car dealership.

So I pulled up and low and behold this it what i saw:

She was on the top rack, floating above the rest! ha ha plus there was another EP parked right next to her. She still had the NEUSPEED decals in the back windows and a scratch on the lower front bumper. It was totally her!! It made me miss her so much, I felt bad as if I abandoned her or something. lol I still love my FA5 though.

That's on PCH isn't it? Near the bowling alley?

Yeah the dealership sold it to a wholesaler. The wholesaler sold it to the used car lot. Common practice.

Yea, thats right on the 101 or Coast highway in Oceanside. I didnt catch the name of the dealership and they didnt have a price on her yet...but I plan on making random trips to see how long she stays around. :-)

I've had a similar thing happen to me in the past. It's trippy. If only we all had unlimited car garages, and never had to say bye to our lovely rides.
This is making me nostalgic for my 88 RX7. *sniff*

after I traded in my Integra, I found it on a used car dealership also highlighted as their main attraction. I pulled in and gave her a quick look and took a few pictures. I said I'm sorry probably 20 times as if it knew what I was saying lol. I felt bad and instantly missed her. Then I got in my car and said "She means nothing to me, I swear." haha
