After we came home, my car started great on Monday morning. For some reason it wouldn't start at all that afternoon. That was the last straw of a long and arduous process of fixing my car up for both Hunter and me. We had played with the idea of getting a new car earlier in the year and that last incident made it official. We spend a couple days looking for a car and finally decided on one (more details on that later). The car we want isn't available for 3-8 more weeks from Sept. 7th. Which leaves 1-6 weeks at this point. We figured that was perfect. It would give us time to sell my car, get a little more money put together for a down payment and go from there. Perfect plan, yes?
I cleaned it out really well, took some pictures (shown below) and posted an add on KSL for significantly more than we expected to be able to get.
24 hours later I got a phone call from someone who wanted to look at it. 48 hours later, my car had already been sold for 3 hours - for very close to the asking price.
Who knew that cars sell so fast? Neither of us were at all prepared for it to sell nearly so quickly. I wasn't emotionally prepared to sell my car that quickly. I was surprisingly still attached. It was my baby. The first car I bought completely by myself and the car I had been driving for the last 6 years. I have a good feeling about the new owners though and I'm sure they'll take good care of her. I will miss my car, although I'm sure those feelings will start to fade once I have a new one.
We had some good and some bad times Focus, but overall it was a very good 6 years we had together.
End nostalgic blurb.
Here's to living the next 6 weeks or so with only one car and a bike.
