Finally some sunshine after the shit-storm that plagued me on the road recently.
A mechanic from Long Island saw my ad on Craigslist and made his way out to Staten Island this weekend with cash in hand.
His philosophy: When I see cars with transmission problems I'm on 'em like white on rice.
His negotiating style: So, you're pretty firm on the price huh?...Ok.
I couldn't have asked for a better transaction. I loved that he knew exactly what he was getting.
I didn't have to try and sell him or pretend I knew anything about cars. And it was completely guilt free.
I can't believe I got the full asking price!
I'd been practically laughed at when it came to the price. I was told I'd NEVER get what I was asking. Even I wasn't expecting to get it.
Two people offered me less than half of what I sold it for. My sister thought I should junk it.
Instead I invested in a great interior/exterior detail. It looked so shiny and new.
All there was left to do was pray. Low and behold miracles really do happen.
I had to work really hard to contain myself during the transaction. Played it very cool.
But as soon as they were out the door I jumped up and down like a giddy school girl. Such a relief.
Next up...an apartment! A job would be good too.
