Sold My Car Today..........

[Plymouthy Adams]

Robert I have seen that very thing happen more than once..have seen many long time relationships go sour due to these deals..I assure you I never sell one unless it is my choice to get shed of it....I get my price..man get the car..his to do with after that...some folks you just cannot never figure out...

[48Dodger]

Sorry for the tough choice Andy.....

 

May I suggest a truck in your future? They seem to be a bit cheaper to start off with and

offer a good bit of fun.

 

Hope Joe is right and you get a chance to get'er back someday.

Kind of like Robert H said.......Back in the 1970s when I decided to sell my blue P15 coupe......an older guy came to look,

said it would probably be the last old car he would buy, etc.......seemed like a nice enough fellow.......so I reduced the

price a bit and he bought it.  Not long after, it appeared for sale in Hemmings for more money, and he presumably

eventually found a buyer.  I did keep my painted wire wheels and fender skirts before offering the car for sale.  And

I was told the man hooked up the battery backwards and caused some electrical problem with the car for himself.

At least I had a chuckle about that.  (I know, not the best attitude).  I finally decided all is fair in old car deals....like

it or not. 

 

When I first found my convertible......I knew there were really no others in this part of the country.....I did not haggle

when the seller quoted a price as he was reasonable already. 

 

At times, I wish I still had all those old Mopars I bought and re-sold, but as the old song goes:  K Sarah Sarah

I'm in somewhat the same boat.  I just watched my 48 P15 four-door and my 50 Dodge Wayfarer Convertible roll off down the driveway and into the sunset over the last three weeks.  I hated to sell them, but my priority is my "new" 1932 Dodge Sedan - the first car I ever owned, found again after 45 years.  She needs - and is getting - a total restoration to be ready for the Dodge 100th anniversary in Alburn Hills Michigan in 2014.  I hope the fact that it's Mopar, even if it's a little early for this forum, will allow me to still ask questions and occasionally offer advice.

Thanks guys for the support, really nice.........I had a personal email from Jeff Miller asking about the difference between the bodys of m, well formerly mine, lol,  1941 ASC Coupe and his 1942 Club Coupe.........I've attached a couple of pics, one shows the "business coupe" body style and there is a couple showing the rear seats.........hope this helps, this car was one of about 1200 P11 ASC's built in total, which when its considered that it was a factory RHD car assembled in Sth Africa it is even rarer...........boohoo..............lol...............andyd

Andy, you finally sold it.

 

I didn't think it would sell, not many people are outlaying any dollars at the moment, times are tough!

 

As others have mentioned, at least you have the Dodge 4 door.

 

Hey what happened to the cowl vent rubber/seal you were going to mail down to me?

 

I presume you are no doubt saddened about having to sell the Plymouth but hey you can't drive the two of them at once.

 

I guess you will have to put all your efforts and love into the Dodge (at least you still have a Mopar).

 

I think we have all been in your situation at one time or another, things will improve they always do.

 

Look at  my 1940 Chrysler Coupe, it's ground to a halt due to a lack of dollars.

 

I am sure things will pick up and I will be able to proceed again.

 

Keep your chin up old mate.

Make no mistake, times are tough, especially in my Household. But there are those with plenty of money out there. Some have it, and lots don't. I got a call on my 47 Chrysler todaY. the Gent is 71, has money, and had a 40s Chrysler in His youth.

I am going to be firm in my price though. I does distress me to "Let Go" of this car......

[Plymouthy Adams]

I see my hopes that you could mothball the unit till better times may not be a workable solution. Here is hoping you get what you need out of the sale. I know so well you don't want to actually sell it...
