After 11 years as my daily commuter car it is time to part ways with my little black think.

47,330 miles. I can get about 50 miles in normal driving, more if I really work at it. Body is in great shape. I have been putting the aerospace 303 protectant on twice a year and so the color has not faded much. I just put some on so nice and pretty.

It will need new tires soon. The 12v battery seems good but it is 4 or 5 years old so should expect to replace that eventually. I just had the front brakes done by FDA automotive and they said everything looked good. Tags are good to June 2024.

I have not done anything about the precharge resistor. I have just been careful to turn everything off before turning off the ignition. I think Shift EV in Albany had a mod they would do to put in a high power resistor.

The only major service it has needed was a transaxle bearing at about 25k miles. That was done by Ken Price out in Lagrande.

I am asking $3000.   Some people are going higher than that, but I really just want it to go somewhere it be loved and driven often!

Dear Mike Overton,

I'm interested!

At least you don't have to worry about the catalytic converter being stolen!

I live in Emmett Idaho now.

We used to have 3 Thinks at one time.

Please keep me posted as you get offers.

Forget this group's still around.

Keysavvy.com maybe checkout.

When I'm looking to buy different EV down the road, someone put on my
radar. Own a Think. Newer Company from former Amazon tech exec I
believe. They are registered dealer. So can use them to get the new
Fed used EV tax rebates. Therefore, You can qualify for the 30% up to
$4000. Plus if your local electric utility provides anything. A lot
will provide $1000 rebate check, not just a tax rebate, usually just
needs to meet certain kwh battery capacity. If Think is not on the
list. Contact them and find out. They'll usually add, as a Think is
overlooked but qualifies, and it's written by kwh capacity and must
have been a production car, and maybe highway certified I believe.

Useful for interstate transaction. And the company is bonded as a
dealer. Clears up title questions. Makes it easier clear up loan
issues on a car you may buy. I tend to always buy cash. No loans. But
have a bank does used loans, wished I bought something, but the
cashiers check and working through the process with a used seller, can
be tricky and seller may not want to bother. Seems like a great
tool. They've done a few million in transactions since June I think.
May be great if someone in this community uses. As makes a Think
virtually pay for itself pretty quick. And probably derisk sale of a
bankrupt company EV. Buyer not out much taking chance if it just
bricks and is a paperweight to someone not technical, which most
aren't, let alone quirks of this car. May open the market to more
buyers. Not much a risk then if total loss.
Just FYI. Being helpful.

My car is sold.    Went to a good fit who will get good use from it.

Kinda sad to see it go but glad it will be used.
