Goodbye Old Friend

Inevitably, we had to sell the Chrysler convertible.  We bought the minivan already, and it just didn't make sense to have three cars sitting in the driveway.  Plus, with a bad AC compressor and no serpentine belt, Kara's old, yet trusty, car was not in the best of condition anymore.  We had resisted the temptation to trade it in when we purchased our van because we thought that maybe we could do better selling it on our own.  

As it turns out, we made the right decision.  After putzing around for nearly a month, we finally decided to post the car for sale on Craigslist.  We put the post up just after noon on Saturday, and within a couple of hours, there were already a dozen people who asked to see it.  We called the first name on the list, and he said he'd be down in a few hours to take a look.  By six, they had come down from Williamsburg, took it for a drive around the block, and then paid for it.   It took us nearly three weeks to list it for sale, and then when we finally did, it took less than six hours to sell it.  Not too shabby if you ask me.  

And if that wasn't enough, we sold another car over the weekend.  We sold one of Kasia's Little Tyke's cars to a family with a little two year old.  Two cars in one weekend.  I suddenly feel like the little taylor who bragged about "killing seven in a single stroke."
