Title: I'm selling my car - anyone interested?

My wife and I are wrapping up our road trip and need to sell our car. Anyone interested? It's in Phoenixville, PA at the moment. We can transport it to anywhere between Phoenixville and NYC if need be, but only if you are going to buy it.

We payed $1,025 for it in Chicago, and then put around $800 of improvements & repairs into it, so we'd really like to get some of that money back. We've been told we could sell it to a junk yard for $100-200, but it's worth a lot more than that TBH. We honestly do like the car a lot, and would take it back with us to Israel if it were feasible... ;)

If you're interested, call us (Michael, or my wife, Bethany) at 989-627-6346, or respond to the Craigslist ad (we're involved in a wedding this weekend and may not be able to answer the phone at any given time).

Thanks!

Do web spiders latch onto phone numbers too? or just emails?

Sorry, I'm on the other side of the country at the moment.

I dunno... I'm sending the phone back to the person who lent it to us Monday, so... :p

Well, too late anyhow... we're donating it to one of those "Donate your car" organizations for the blind.

...though what a blind person would do with a car is way beyond me.

Well you could've advertised it on Craig's List or something. Probably would have gotten a few bites.
Oh well, giving it to charity's not a bad thing either.

I think the organization fixes it up and resells it or something to make money.

Oh and there were no takers? Odd.
One would think at least some people would make an offer though maybe the money wasn't right.

172,000 miles is a bit of a steep total no matter what the asking price is.  That's the mileage when most people are looking to get rid of a car, not pick one up at that level, especially one that needs a bit of additional work done to it.  I don't think that Sandwich's price was overly excessive, but I don't know that there's a whole lot of people out there who would bite at it.

Interestingly enough, Sandwich, I'm within about forty minutes of where you're selling that from, and I have a younger brother who just got his license within the past year.  I don't think my parents would have been interested in a car with quite that much wear and tear on it for him, though. :p
