Old cars

We've discovered something here. People will buy anything. My son just sold his old car. It hasn't been driving in over a year. It has some things wrong with it, although it would start. They fellow who bought it has all kinds of plans to put in new air intakes, get some body work done to it, and use it for daily driving.

These aren't things Son wanted to spend money on and he doesn't have the mechanical skills to do them himself, so selling it seemed like a good idea. The fact is, he really didn't advertise it or anything. The fellow who bought it knew he owned the car, and approached Son with an offer. It was more than I personally would have paid for the car, but the guy was pretty intent on getting it, so Son sold it.

A few weeks ago I actually gave away my old car. It wasn't running at all and the folks just wanted to put in in their paint ball field. I probably could have gotten $50 or $100 for it, but I just wanted it out of my yard so it seemed worth it to just get it hauled off.

A couple of years ago I sold two vehicles to some guys that were going to take them to the crusher for scrap metal. I made some money, and so did they. I don't have a way to haul scrap metal or I'd probably try doing that, too!
