i forgot the best part of the story about selling my car. so heres the full story...
so the guy txt messages me at 7:30 says he saw my ad on trademe.co.nz (new zealands ebay) and was interested, to complicated things i was planning on driving romain 2 hrs north to a job he found in the morning at 10am, so i asked if he wanted to see the car that night or the next morning. he said the next afternoon was better... but i got him to agree to see it that night, he said he need to get a ride and would txt me when he was on his way in about an hour, and in kiwi fashion he got back to me 2 hours later saying he was bout to get on his way... so its getting pretty late, its dark, a little rainy... i would never check out a car this late, but he shows up. i crossed my fingers and said a little prayer, and the car actually started first try!!! and ran smooth!!! he popped the hood (but was so dark i dont know what he was looking for) walked around the car and said he would take it, we negociated $500 for it and he had to run to an ATM and would be right back. he gets back, we fill out some paper work and hand over the keys for the cash... walk him out to the car, and here's the best part, he goes to start up the car and it turns over and over and over and won't start... (this is happens all the time but i didn't want him to know that, i knew the trick) we were on a hill and it was low on gas so i blamed it on that. he kept trying and i could hear the starter was draining the battery, and finally it puddered a little, it really wanted to start and with a plume of smoke and the smell of a flooded engine it started!!!! i was jumping for joy inside!!! and he drove off...perhaps regeting his purchase. but she was a great car and we had a great time together, she'll be missed, my little corona!
