Well the only looser here is me I guess, seeing how much I put into the car after buying and then almost killing myself working on the car. But most of us here will never come close to making a profit on the sale of a car, but that is life I guess.
My selling price was based of the amount of money I put in the car, not what I paid for the car or even market value. I based it on repair dollars spent, and this morning realized I undershot the mark about a $1000 at the very least. It was the cost of transmission that got me, I was thinking $1300 but correct figure was $2300, seems age and senility has again raised its ugly head. I was thinking $2600 was not to bad for almost 2 1/2 years of driving, but this morning that figure jumped to $3600 and that is not counting the original cost of the car. Now I don't feel so good about selling the car, except I will not have to look at the car that I almost killed myself over in my garage a few months ago.
Oh well it's only money, and you can't take it with you when you die. And I am not leaving any behind for the guy that might replace me, or a unappreciative kid.
