I just had a girl drive up from Austin to check out my wagon. Here's the craigslist ad;

She offered me $3000 (she's not joining the cheap wagon club!
). I feel like I can get more, but maybe that's wishful thinking. What do you guys think? Murphy is not a perfect wagon, I know but he's pretty awesome!
She'll be back in Houston on Tuesday. We're supposed to talk again then.
OH! I nearly murdered the dude she came with. Before I could stop him, he pulled the breather tube off the air cleaner and held his thumb over it to kill the engine. After this he says "Hey, yeah! The compression is really strong!". I wanted to punch him in the face. I don't know how serious this offense is, but I seem to remember reading that it's just one of those things you really don't want to do. Anyway, I counted to 10 then calmly noted that it's not nice to mistreat other people's things.
Anyway, fair deal? Or should I hold out? I feel like holding out when I see people getting this kind of money out of these beauties
