end of an era for me

I've had this car for over 10 years and it is almost like selling one of my children. I'm really sad right now but it has to be done. We plan to move next year and taking it...along with Jim's car, a motorcycle and a U-haul would be too much of a hassle and expense.

Just thought I'd share that with those of you who know me and my love affair with that car. lol

Sorry to see you have to make that decision. I am a car lover that has been fortunate enough to collect and keep most of the vehicles i have fallen for over the years. I have made the tough decisions a couple of times years ago and it is hard to do...you never forget the great cars...but the good news is that there are always more in your future that offer rewarding and unique experiences.
Hope your move goes well.

Yeah...it's so. Cry

It isn't so much that I need the money as what I stated earier as well as this: This car is like the energizer bunny. It is running super great. BUT....it has 170,000 miles on the original engine..in fact except for the paint job and the Mags, everything on this car is original. At some point something is gonna go and I will not be able to afford to fix or replace it.

Dennis...lol as big as this car is...a motorcycle will NOT fit in the back seat.

Barry, your offer to drive this to Kentucky from Calif. is noted and so much appreciated. I can't afford what you'd charge though. I so thank you for the offer however. Kiss

Ohh.....I guess this means no more Sea-Cruise either, hmmm?
I cannot, and will not believe it, Linda! (did you get that pink nail polish I recommended for the scratches?)

It's a long trip to Kentucky, but I know how you feel.....such a bummer..........and, as I constantly remind my dear husband, we are NOT defined by the car we drive......you'll still be our Linda Kiss

LONG LIVE CALIENTE V8!!! (even if you're not behind the wheel)

OUCH Linder...that's gotta hurt...

The only car I ever loved was my Father's (then mine) 1957 PV 444 Cape Cod Gray Volvo...so ugly, only a mother or a teenager could love it. Never worried it would get stolen because only I could start it. Sold in 1982 for $100 to the first caller (mechanical problems I had no idea how to fix-spot me 3 wheels and I couldn't even fix a tricycle). 100 calls later and I realized what I had done. Not a day goes by I don't think of it.

So, don't take the first offer...and sell it to someone who cares...

Best,

Jon

I just knew you were going to say something Jimi. So here is my response...

I've never been to Kentucky!!! Jess and I have it planned to go someday, and we were gonna stay with you and let you feed us and drive us around, but now that Linda's going to be in the same state, that just makes it more fun, LOL. Grin

Thanks guys...all this talk of being around and near all of youse....is making me feel a little bit better about this.

I have no intention of selling this for too much less than the price..AND...I will want to know if it will be garaged, waxed frequently and taken care of as I have...before I sell it.

BobG hasn't seen this yet and I really want to know his opinion.

Don';t mean to take up precious time here on a stupid car. But car guys will understaand I hope. Embarrassed
