Out with the Old....In with the New

We put Stan's car up for sale about two months ago. Well, if you consider "up for sale" being a "For Sale" sign in the windows, it was up for sale. We had one person show some serious interest in it during our garage sale. Other than the random drive-thru worker asking how much we were asking for it, that was it. We were starting to think that we would just go ahead and keep it and not worry about it.

Then out of the blue we got a call from someone wanting to know more about the car. "What is the least price you take?", said the curious buyer from our neighboring country to the south. Stan answered her. Then her husband called back again the next morning, "What is the least price you take?" Stan told them they should come and look at it because he knew he was offering it at a great price because it was in such great condition. Then Stan looked outside and notice that the curious buyer WAS OUTSIDE! Kinda weird.

They went back and forth on the price and ended the conversation with Stan telling him that he got off work at 5:30pm and needed to talk to his beautiful wife....just kidding..to his wife and he would get back with him. Stan thought all day about the offer the guy was making. It was $500 less than what we said would be our lowest price. So S thought he would be the "ultimate negotiater" and offer the car for the price the guy wanted, IF he would fix our flower beds. We had just visited Lowe's the night before to purchase all the materials needed to install an edge/trim and then cut out the grass from the lawn.

Wouldn't you know it.....5:30pm exactly the doorbell rings. "You talk to your wife?" Yes, I think we can make a deal. Long story short, we all won!! We made money on the car, at 6:04 my flower beds were finished and at 6:30 our car was sold and drove away.

Here's Stan's new ride, it's a 2009 Honda Pilot.
