Meet the Buyers

The new buyer's sent me a few pix of themselves yesterday. I had sent them a couple of me on their request and I asked them to return the favor. So here they are, seen at their annualy arranged stand at the RETRO CLASSICS EXHIBITION March 2011 in Stuttgart. And they had just sold that '58 in the pix, which I why they wanted mine.

Lucille Has Left The Building...

The driver showed up on time and was very nice to work with this morning. We had Lucille loaded up very quickly and I went on to work. My buyer had asked me to take a few pictures of the loading, and I would have done so anyway.

So a little later I got this very nice email from the buyer...

 ...Did I tell you by the way, that it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you and that you were probably the most concerned, reliable and caring seller ever who we had to deal with...?

You are just pure class!! Thank you so much.

In November, we (my father and I) will be in in the US to buy several other cars; we will also be in LA for a couple of days. If you don't mind, I would really like to meet you and invite you to have some kind of nice dinner with us at some place which you can recommend.

Looking forward to receiving your pictures upon loading.

Best wishes and stay as you are, cause you are just perfect!

God bless you and your beloved ones!

That was very nice and I felt rather touched by it. I know lots of Cadillac friends in the Olde World and I have sold a few cars overseas before, so maybe that is why he found me very easy to work with on the wire transfer and all. I've done it before! In any case, they were also very nice and gracious to work with and it made the sale go very smoothly. I am quite happy with the outcome.

Pickup Scheduled

[114318] Talked to the driver today for the transport company and agreed to meet at 9:00 am Friday morning to get the car picked up. The funds transferred on Monday but were pending until Tuesday. Tuesday morning I signed the Bill of Sale and released the Title, sent copies via email to Baris and his dad, as well as CHris, the transport guy. I spoke to Chris Tuesday but he said he'd have the driver call me and work out the time. So now that's done and all I have to do is wait. I'll have half my garage back on Friday.

Yes, I *have* been eyeing other cars on eBay, but I'm going to resist temptation. These funds will pay off the Pontiac. :-)

You know, I bought this car with 113591 miles on it and I'm selling it now with 114318 miles. Wow, all of 727 miles. As of May of last year, when the insurance company wanted an ODO check, the reading was 114230. 88 miles in over a year. I've never driven a car so little. So  I think I know the reason I decided to sell... not really a car I like enough to drive.
