Went to buy a work truck got a Model A too!

Great story!!! Congratulations on your buys!!!

 

I love a success story like this one! "You cashed in a little Karma." Life is good.

 

We hate you! Not. What a nice score. Gary

 

I go with my buddies and we buy alot of muscle cars. People all the time say one like it sold on Barret Jackson for .......(insert rediculous sum here) Oh boy, here we go again the one that was like it was original Hemi 18,000 miles ,better color, 4-speed or car with fresh $45,ooo dollar frame off resto, what does that car have to do with that your car thats dissembled and incomplete on jackstands that has'nt run in 5 years ? You are not being an A-hole by bringing dreamers down to earth with facts about the cost of bringing things up to an good average running condition . Barret Jackson they turn away more cars than they sell at that auction ,because they are not up to the standards they have set. Setting down the cash with a no ******** offer and its going to someone who will get it running means alot if they have had it a long time but could never get it done .You can't buy sentimental value ,but if its going to the right buyer who knows whats right and what it needs matters alot . We have gone back before and taken some sellers for a ride later on they could'nt thank us enough and it means alot knowing that the car they loved is up and going .

 

good for you,nice car,fair price.wasn,t that the one with a thread the other day asking what its worth?

 

good buy ,

 

good deal on the car , it looks shweeet , barett jackson gives people some ridiculous over inflated ideas on the values of vehicles , that showneeds to go back to never never land to be with the other fantasies

 

If you and the seller agree to a price, $100, $1,000, and you sell it for $50, or $100,000, it's fair. So what if you make a profit, this isn't a communist country. Cutting it up would be the only crime.

 

You did good, every
body was happy. Hell she probably gave the money to her grandson after you left...

 

Yup

 

Yuppers, cash green money talks, be backs and ******** walks. Way too many guys and I know one personally go out to look at and make deals on cars without a dime in their pocket and expect the seller to hold the car while they try to round up the money. The car came with the house and her hubby probably never spent a dime on it in that 20 years. That means she has 2200 bucks in her pocket that she doesn't have to answer to anyone for. The car is no doubt worth a bit more but who knows when someone would show up with more cash in the hand.

 

Thanks for not chopping up a survivor.

I'm probably in the minority here on the HAMB with this train of thought, but I don't care. I'm past the point of trying to impress people.

My heart breaks a bit each time I see or hear of anything (from a building to a car) that's survived for that long in good condition, getting hacked up.

Call me overly sentimental...call me a wuss....don't care.

 

I wanna see more pictures, that car is awesome

 

You bought the car right. The sellers didnt do badly and you bought 2 vehicles from them. They had absolutely no investment in the A and they agreed to the price. The golden rule always applies, "he with the gold, makes the rules".

Good negotiating bro, cash speaks in a nice tone of voice! Thank god it had been stored well and everybody is ahead, especially you. Really a sweet lookin sedan, congrats! ~sololobo~

 

$2,200 damn you did good. I find rusty tudor body's around here for $2k.

 

Well done!

 

Nice car, nice deal.
Funny how putting the money back in your pocket and walking away will motivate a seller.

 

I like the whole, "I don't know what it is, but I want 10 grand for it"

That always cracks me up.

 

I like how a quarter million dollar house means you have made it in life! The one bedroom condos down the street from me start at 300k. Damn you sunny so cal!

 

No ****, I'm so glad I don't live in Kalifornia.

 

+1 you aren't alone.

 

All it takes is a little extra lubricant to fit things in a tight spot!
Very true that the ole shrew did not have to be tamed unless she agreed to it!
Perhaps an A-model flattie scenario would fit her profile !
Good dealin! You horn-swaggler you!

 

Congrats on joining the model A owner ranks. These things can get into your soul.

 

just wondering .. was that the old Corvette and the old lady thing here as well...???

Roy

 

"Hard negotiator" ????? Your a *****cat, Specially when ya been hangin at the "Long Branch Saloon" here Miss Kitty. I'll give ya $2,150 for the sadan.

Good score!!!!!, Now go help your brother!!!!

 

you're having trouble sleeping, thinking about that old women. mentioning more things wrong with the car helps relieve that, or at least block it out. hope she never sets on you're jury. then you'll know...........if she was ok with the deal.........it's all about you baby.........look out for number one.........just kidding! stupid old lady. but still,.....

 

I couldn't deal with real estate out there. I live in a really nice house that I paid just under 100k for. Out here 250+ buys really amazing places. Her house had vaulted ceilings and marble floors. Huge chandeliers and living rooms that didn't even get used. I would bet the Victorian furniture in her house was more than my whole place.. I say 250+ because I really don't know a value. Could have been $500k. She said they bought the place from a doctor.

 

And by the way I honestly had the best night of sleep I be had in a long time last night. So keep on raggin if y'all need too. I'm over it. Ill ask her tomorrow if she's still happy about the deal when I go by to give her some venison.

 

Uhhh, I think you already slipped her the venison.....
