Buyer calls this afternoon, says he's arranged a series of rides to get him the 350 miles to here, let's get this done. Balance of purchase price handed over in cash, title signed over, hand shakes and best wishes exchanged. Whole damn f'n deal over in less than 48 hours.
And the buyer and his nephew are headed back to scenic Virginia. With no plates on the car.
pas deux
Guess I oughta update me siggie, eh? |
Good luck to you !!!
As you found, you only need one buyer to sell your car. Once you have one, dont let him go !!!
Your humility & social decency paid dividends in the end!!
How was his wife in the end ?
