Unhappy Selling my Xfire to pay for my dogs treatment.

I'm selling my 2005 crossfire for less than I paid for it less than a year ago. It has to go quick because I have a sick dog that has lung cancer, beleive it or not, and the treatments at UNC State are expensive as hell.

I'd like to sell it for $9000. It has a couple minor dents on the hood and driver side front qtr panel, where a big *** tree branch fell on it this past year. I think i have pics up of that. Also the headliner needs to be replaced. I have no idea what is up with that. I did have a $2400+ JL/Kenwood stereo installed in it 6 months ago. I'm including that with the car. I will take pictures and post them for serious inquiries.

It just turned 60k miles. Black exterior, and grey interior.
6 spd.
Please message me with ANY questions on this.

Thanks
Sam

I just placed an ad on auto trader and reduced the cost by $1000. Here is the link. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...id=AT-1262974f

And for those of you that are concerned, the surgery will cure her. She has lung cancer and they are going to remove a lung lobe that is nothing but a malignant tumor and it is getting so big that it is startting to interfer with other lobes and even her heart. I take her to NC State for treatment.

I am so sorry to hear about your dog.

I'm also going to give you some advice you probably don't want. Unless this treatment you're going to pay for has a high probability of curing your dog, just say no, and stop your dog's suffering by putting him/her down in a painless and humane manner.

So often I hear of people putting thousands of dollars into their pets, only to have the pet's suffering linger on and on with the same ultimate result.

The question you need to ask yourself objectively, is "Am I doing this for the dog or for me?"

Of course, it's easy for me to sit here and preach. I have a German Shorthair that I will have a VERY hard time letting go of when her time comes. We actually got her from a breeder that lived between Smith Mountain Lake and Bedford. Our daughter lives in Forest, so we're close to you.

I wish you well however you decide to go.

Pets are a tough one for sure, especially if it is just you and the dog.... I would hate to lose my little mutt.... I have lost 4 pets in my lifetime and they all were my friends and companions. Each one was a very tough loss...tough as losing a human love one. Prognosis I hope is good, because chemo can be painful... Sell the car....but do the right thing for your friend as you would want them to do for you...

Sadly I must agree with this statement. My in laws spent a lot of money on their dog when it had a cancer in the mouth, when it came back the vet refused to operate again.
Our dog later had cancer in her spine and the vet said it could possibly be treated, with the other dog in mind we said no and had her put down. We all cried and felt that we had not done her right, but in our hearts we knew that we had done what was required to save her anymore pain.
Whatever you decide you have my thoughts with you.
