For Sale

For Sale

Last night around 10pm I listed my car on Craigslist. Ever since Michelle got her job at UNC we have been carpooling everyday. My car also needed about $2000-$3000 worth of repair and I have been putting around $1000 into it each year. The work that the car needed was fully disclosed in the Craigslist posting.

About 10 minutes after I listed the car I got my first call and set up an appointment to at 8am this morning. The guy's van broke down and he showed up at 9am. He looked at the car, drove it around the neighborhood and then tried to haggle the price down. At that point I had already received 18 phone calls and text messages about the car so I believe $2000 was a fair if not a discounted price.

KBB had the car in fair condition for $2600 and given the work that needed to be done, I was happy with the sale.

I'm sad to see this car go, but it was the right thing to do.
