OT sell her or keep her

[Plymouthy Adams]

well, sometimes a buyer will be johnny on the spot to get the deal before the next man..and face it, cash is the motivator..regardless of the new buyer intent for the car, if he buys at your price then all is well with the world..to try and set limitation on use of end product after the sale is beyond reasonable. When I sold my house in SC when I moved folks ask me what I think of the place since the new owner trashed it. (I kept it nice) I say only I feel sorry that it has caused your property area to look bad but personally I have no further interest or say in the matter. Clearly I can see you were only half hearted to be shed of the unit and hopefully this renewed interest will bear fruit early in keeping and fixing the car..get to work and good luck..

Sounds like you are comfortable with the decision and that's what counts. Good luck with her in the future.

Well now that you've made a decision, I'm a Gemini and I never keep a car more than a year or 2, always looking for something else, I just put a sale sign on with double the price and wait for the fun, My wife stoped asking if I would buy another. If it's on my list,

come to think of it I change the list ever day. Have fun now.

Out of sight or not it ain't goin down in value! I have had my 37 ford since 81 when my first son was born, it is in pieces and is worth at least ten times what i paid it is out of site and someday i will get around to finishing iit, i have pased up numerous offers to sell it but it ain't goin anywhere. but last year i looked around at all my fine collection of "goodies" and decided what i really wanted to keep and was going to finish and got rid of the rest so i am not as much of a packrat as i was plus ot a few bucks to spend on a few other projects!

The storage will definetly be "short term" like over the winter only. I am taking a serious look at expanding my garage and adding an extra bay on the side.

As far as my opinion of the guy?, I was NOT looking to sell, he approached me in my own yard while I was minding my own business. He was very pushy to say the least, almost as if I was going to sell it to him no matter what. I'm sure he thought if he was persistant I would give in. I guess if you like guys approaching you like that then that's your decision, but I tend to avoid people like that.

I have been approached by people who are also pushy. I simply double or triple the value and tell them to produce the cash. They usually run away after I do that. If they did produce the cash I would close the deal on the spot and go buy another possibly in better shape and bank the left over money.

I do know a guy who had someone follow him until he pulled over. The follower bought the car with cash for a lot more than it was worth. Buyer and seller were both happy.

Ever wonder what lottery winners do with there money?

Actually that did happen to me with my Dodge M37, this guy wanted to buy it but I really didn't want to sell so I gave him a really high figure. He agreed and paid me with cash. I knew nobody in their right mind would pay me what he was offering ever again so I sold it to him. I did regret it after tho but later I realized it was the right thing to do at the time. It was how I was able to buy my first Dodge Ram 4x4, and that lead to buying a travel trailer that we enjoy very much now during the year. So, everything happens for a reason.

Every now and then someone asks if I want to sell the convertible.

I politely tell them "no".

I will definitely not throw out some "high"

price....because there's always that one guy who will take you up

on it.

I probably missed a golden opportunity a few years ago (if I had wanted to sell

at some high price) when the fellow inquiring said he had just moved here from

California after selling his home and his airplane. He likely had some play money.

My theory is: I didn't pay a lot for the car in 1973, I know it's not as slick as

others (but it's generally OK), I don't have a heck of a lot of money tied up in

it, and it would cost me most or all of the sale price to buy another similar car

in better condition. So, I'll just keep it.....then my wife can continue to

use her favorite comment about it -- "he's had that car longer than any

of his ex-wives".
