How to approach a dying old lady about her car?

Haha, Asshole !!

Just might work though... hmmm

 

How about a carton of cigs?

 

show up naked with a fine bottle of oxygen, and some rose`s
and a shopping cart full of sig`s and take one for the team !
but only pictures of the car please?

 

You could marry her and then it ALL would be yours

 

Yeah show up with one of those flavored oxygen bottles. She has a peach tree, so Ill get her some peach flavored oxygen.

 

I read this about 3 mintes ago and I am still laughing.

 

Im liking all the good ideas!!!

 

You could offer to broker the car and split the profit. You know what it's worth and how to reach the market. Half of what you get may very well be twice what she would get in the paper.

 

That is very true and a real good idea. Win Win right.

 

or ya could just pinch the hose till she sign`s over the title ?

 

bill hines is 85 and still going strong. 60 is nothing if you have your health.

 

HEY! 60 is the new 40 buddy and don't you forget it.

 

Thats exactly what I would expect to hear from a 60 year old. hahaha

 

touchy touchy!!

 

You could make more money buying it outright, but this would be more fair than the "breaking her hip" route.

When I was 17 I went to go look at a 64 Alpine (too many paint fumes I think). I really wanted this car and the old guy knew it. Rather than rake me over the coals, he decided that I was the guy that should own his Alpine. He dropped the price so that I could afford it and held it for me for 2 weeks while I got the cash together. I then sold it at the Barret Jackson auction for 5 times my money and rubbed his nose in that S%&@ yelling "sucker ass fool". The last part may not actually be true. I am 35 now and I couldn't have even told you where exactly the old man lived. A few months ago I was walking my daughter around the block and noticed the name of the original owner on a mailbox. It really tripped me out and brought back a ton of memories.

 

me thinks that the car may be her sons.. shes 60.?the car is70-74 so the son would have had it as a first car when she was in her 35-45 range not that long ago really
remember that if you ask be ready to follow thru .. get help and do it right

and look for the title card and registration and insurance papers

clean out the garage, basement ,backyard what ever
if your mom is a neighbor then you don't have to far to go with it to sortit properly ...return precious family items.. pics and letters and such.. do not pile anything at her place remove all and then sort .. if ya pick thru and throw most she will be saddened by the mess shes made of her lifes stuff.. if its all cleared out the she will thank you and prolly never remember her husbands tools ,guns money stash from the odd places..remember most things have value from crackerjack toys to old newspapers and even old cans and bottles..

my brotherin law found18 grand cash in a box under old stuffed toys during a nasty clean out after the woman died cuz she had no money for treating her illness ... they were puking hauling the mice and rotten stuff out and thankfully kicked the tin box over before pitching it with the shit..a large dumpster full.. who knows what they did toss?

 

Wow, this topic blew up !!

 

I hope you don't get it, jerk. You're worried you might look like a vulture - well worry no more, you already do.

 

do it this way, talk about how shes doing first and act like you care about her alot and are really worried about her (which im sure you are but if your not do it anyway) have a long conversation about all kinds of other pointless small talk because Ive found out old ladies love to talk. Just go with it and let the long boring conversation happen. Then after talking to her for 1 or 2 hours (depending on how much she likes to talk) slowly direct the conversation to the car you saw in the garage the other day ect....and the rest will come naturally.


and if your worried about buying it and selling it and making alot of money than you need to tell me where it is so I can do it.

 

if its a hemi car with a" beat then ya can eat me" bumper sticker nows your chance...bring a extra napkin you'll need it

 

Don't ask unless you have your cash ready to buy. I've seen many a good deal get sold because I asked and wasn't ready to buy. Gives them the idea maybe I should sell it. Ron

 

Ouch.. He already said he would compensate the woman if she wanted. So honestly.. What is she going to do with it if her health state is as bad as his mother thinks ? She might not even want to get rid of it at all. Who knows ? I think its worth the effort in at least asking her about it right ? The worst she can say is, no.

We are all just joking around about being vulture like.

 

Yeah its all in good fun. But seriously Im going to do it and give her a good amount of the dough.

 

Whos really getting jipped here the old lady or the idiot that buys it at Barret Jackson?

 

A box of wine and a carton of Camels should do it.

Sam.

 

The last time I approached a dying old lady about her car, I bought and installed new spark plug wires on it so it would start in the morning.

True story, she was waking me up every day by cranking and cranking and it wouldnt start easily.

 

thats a win win situation!

 

So what dollar amount should I offer?

 

See what shes looking for first.

 

I dont want her to ask for some outrageus amount cause I dont have that much.
