Ok, so I love my car. Ever since I bought it, I've said that there isn't a car under $20k that I would want instead of what I currently have. Driving past a used G-wagon yesterday though, I started to think crazy thoughts.
Who says there isn't another car that I would want? What if, instead of shopping around for cars that I might want to buy, I put my car up on Craigslist, not for sale, but for trade.
Sure, I'll probably get plenty of people who want to trade their Chevy Lumina, a dirtbike, and two lawnmowers to me, but who's to say that I wouldn't find someone with something awesome to trade instead? After all, it's not like I drive an Astro. A 540i with the M-sport package and 6MT is a pretty desirable car to the right person, and surely there's a guy out there who looks at his 911 every morning and wishes he had an extra set of doors, right?
Am I absolutely out of my mind here, or is this something that people actually do successfully?

I've got a Focus, and I wish it had less doors. :p

You'll get a lot of spam, but what's the worst that can happen. Just because you put it up for trade, doesn't mean you have too. Just think about all the Grandmas with 993 turbos that need a car with 4 doors for the grandchildren and are sure that their 20 y.o. Porsche is worth nothing.

I'm actually super interested in what comes up if you do end up doing this (which I think you should cause you can always say no) you need to make a second post and tell us what happened.

My fiance's brother did this a few times with few issues; Traded his EP3 Civic Si for an Acura RSX, then traded the RSX for a lifted TJ (because Texas).
