No woodworking this weekend. I had a car accident last weekend, so I was shopping this weekend.

And here's the result!

I like it. Nice color.

Good luck keeping the neighbors junkers from scratching it up.

How many people asked if you got a good deal?

Elspode · 02-15-2004, 10:29 PM

Getting a new car is the coolest thing, even if wrecking an existing one is one of the suckiest things.

jinx · 02-15-2004, 10:31 PM

had you pegged for a pick up truck guy.

Happy Monkey · 02-16-2004, 06:40 AM

Well, it's a Saturn, so you get the deal they've got. I'm sure there are better and worse deals out there, but I got $1500 cash back and 0% financing over 5 years.

Unless I'm moving, I an't got nothin to put in the back of a pickup truck.

Yeah, we know that, but isn't that a mandatory question when you see someone with a new car? Maybe Saturn has gotten the word out, after all. Best of luck with it, Monkey.
Oh, I assume you'll be renting a truck to deliver that furniture to me, then.

See yah.

the only grown up man i've ever called a prick was a car dealer who ignored my shopping list and tried to get me to choose a car based on color. when i asked him about price, he wanted to know what i made. when i asked him how my paycheck affected the car's cost, he said, "well, i could tell you anything and you wouldn't know the difference."

ergo the insult......and the car purchased at another lot.

that's what you get for trying to buy a car without a man present.

geez, when will you women learn.

LJ, question for you:

I have a 1989 white pontiac sunbird with a miriad of problems:

cracked up windsheild
stripped out spark plug hole
one wheel is on a donut right now, and the rest of the tires are bald
runs REALLY loud
missing things here and there (indicator for interior lights, light for gear status, tail light, brake light, moulding around the outside windows)
Big dent in the driver's side door
needs a tune up
has 120,000 miles on it

I have had this car about 5 years now. I am planning on selling it for about 300.00 tonight and I want to know if you think that is a fair price for selling it privately.

lumberjim · 02-26-2004, 03:01 PM

the car you described is known as a "hoopdie"

sounds like a dealer would put about $100 in it, so if you're comfortable making a 200% profit, then i guess so.......

just kidding.....

yeah, 300-500 retail......sounds like your customer is doing you a favor by disposing of it for you.

cant really go wrong when you're talking about those kinds of numbers.

you're not selling it to a friend are you?
