I’m selling my car. As you might guess, the Peace Corps luggage allowance does not cover the transportation of a sedan, not even a compact Japanese one. As you might not have guessed, we are explicitly forbidden from operating any kind of motor vehicles in our assigned countries. No buying a car in Cape Verde. No new motorcycle in Mongolia. And no scooter in Suriname. In fact, we aren’t even allowed to accept rides on two-wheeled motor vehicles. Taxis, buses, and trains are OK, but there’s something about the developing world’s tendency towards unpaved roads and unhelmeted noggins . . .

So, if you know anyone in the Knoxville area who needs a gently used 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE, I’m letting this one go for $6000, which is under the Blue Book price, and about half of what I paid for it three years ago.

EDIT, 5/22/07: I’ve sold the car now. Well wishes to the buyers!
