I didn't notice how tall my Nissan Note is (for a subcompact) until I looked outside with it parked next to my neighbor's EJ Civic (stock height). According to Wikipedia it's over 6 inches taller, and despite the two vehicles being of identical width, the Note as a result looks narrower.

As a side note, I just unfortunately put my Panther on Craigslist. I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to our own posts, so I'm not going to until I receive permission to do so...but it would be lovely to see it go to another Opponaut.

Tons of people put links to their own CL stuff.

I never noticed how happy the Note looks.

I like the happy face, especially since I was initially going for a Mazda2. All of the Pensacola area dealers had offloaded their manual Sports and weren't ordering more.

It looks nice, and, why is bonnie being sold?

I am apparently the only one here, but I think the 2 just looks off. Something about the front door back just doesn't look right.

Yeah, it looks just kinda... off. Front is nice but the rest is kinda eh.

I'm not finding it on the Pensacola CL. And people post there stuff pretty often on here, so as far as I know it is okay. It isn't in the rule book.

Search for 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis and it should be the only listing.

Good ad, enough information, but it could use a couple more interior shots.

Money troubles unfortunately. My plan when I bought the Note was to pay it off just in time for me to graduate from college; however, unfortunately, a few weeks after I bought it my parents informed me that they want to retire after the lease of my current apartment (which they were giving me rent assistance for) ends next May, and therefore are cutting off said assistance. I love my Mercury but I have to sell it to get out from upside down in the loan so that I can either sell the Note or pay it off really quickly in order for me to stay in my city.

I just got promoted at my job to a potentially full time position, but unfortunately even with that I'd probably only be able to afford living in my backseat for a long time...which I will do if Bonnie doesn't sell. (I'm secretly hoping she doesn't).

I'll add those, I just don't want to post photos of my HU because it isn't going to be sold with the car. I think the price might be a bit high, especially since there are plenty Marquis' of similar vintage with half the mileage of mine, but I have plenty of paperwork and I'm hoping being a knowledgeable seller well work to my advantage.

Oh man that really sucks. Hope it goes the best way it can and you get to keep the cars you love.

That's why I thought a few pics of the interior would help you. The less pics of the interior, usually looks like the more someone has to hide. Looking at your car, and seeing how you take car of it, I'm pretty sure you don't have anything to hide. Unless there is hooker blood in the trunk, don't post pics of that.

If I weren't so upside down in the Nissan I would just offload it. It was purchased to be extremely efficient and reliable transportation and nothing more (other than getting my stick shift fix). Everyone around me, online and off, knows how much I love my Mercury. I always laugh when my friends and other Opponauts refer to her by name. Everyone loves Bonnie! Ughh. It really would break my heart to sell her

Definitely will take some new interior pictures in the morning.

Assuming I haven't pulled the listing by then.

Are you having posters remorse lol?

I didn't want to post it in the first place. I'd rather live in it. My brother is telling me I can just use what I need of the proceeds to sell the Versa without being upside down, and then use the rest to get an older Grand Marquis, but it wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be Bonnie.

A true Mercury fan! Thats not something common!

So basically it's sell one or the other?

In order to sell the Nissan, I'd need several thousands of dollars to cover the depreciation and pay off the loan, so I effectively have to sell Bonnie just to accomplish that. But if I don't sell either of them before my apartment lease ends in May I'll be living in the Merc's backseat unless one of the nice old ladies at work would like to rent me a room for ludicrously cheap. I've been experimenting with different sleeping positions, and, honestly, its going quite well. But it also isn't very hot at the moment.

Ah, well that sucks. So your apartment is a once a year payment thing?

No, its monthly, but I was supposed to be living in it until I graduated from college in mid-late 2017. My parents informed me a few weeks after I bought the Note that they want to retire after my lease ended and they would as such be cutting off the rent assistance they were giving me. (I had planned when I bought the car to pay the Nissan off just before graduation with what I was spending on power, cable, phone, gas, food, and my part of the rent). They wanted me to come back home, but as you've probably figured out I'm doing anything in my power to stay in Pensacola

Very good! That trunk is about as big as a small truck bed. Now you just have to deal with the people of Craigslist!

In your parents area of Florida, it probably would have already sold.
