I also agree with selling the Camry.

The car turned out nice. For that price, someone is going to get a heck of a car. The whole drivetrain is basically brand new!! Another reason you should keep the Bonny! :poke:

Had two lookers on top of each other the first night the ad was posted (last Tuesday), but both were looking for a car for their wives... and with the windshield cracks and gas door rust, I don't think this would fit the bill for a wife's car.

I then had absolutely NO calls whatsoever, which was good because I noticed a coolant leak after the two test drives, and pulled the water pump off since it only leaked while running.

Today a guy calls to see it, I tell him he can see it, but can't drive it since I'm in process of installing the water pump. He says he only had $3500... I said that was my absolute bottom line, so they came out, asked how much longer I needed, I told him come back in an hour.

45 minutes later... I even changed the oil for them... they gave me cash, and drove it away.

I probably could have held out for more... but I was pretty shocked at the lack of calls I got on this.

Now that black SSEi from Chicago with 55K miles is looking very tempting!

Hehe, if I only lived closer... although a one way flight to Chicago isn't too expensive...
