New Car

[spotty_dog]

Oh we totally will sell it ourselves. I drove a '93 Cavelier until a few months before moving to the Midwest. It was starting to have some MAJOR health issues. I Blue Booked it and lets just say as the girl was in the bank drive through to get the ...$2000? I was asking for the car was overheating. I was watching the dial go hotter and hotter and was like "Oh, I like to turn off the car when it's idling." as I turned it off. Poor girl. I feel kind of bad I sold her a lemon but she said a good friend was a mechanic and had talked to her about that kind of car.

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone!

I did the same! I sold a car with no AC during the winter. It was also having all kinds of other problems. They were a young grad student couple from another country, so I felt a little guilty, but they got a steal of a deal ($800 for a running car was good even in 2005) and they knew a little about cars and the guy really scrutinized the engine, so...

I have to say that has been a concession we have made since hitting the post training years. Trade in is SO much less headache, plus the trade in value decreases the sales tax you pay on the new car, so in this high sales tax state it is almost worth it...
