judecorpBarring any unforeseen circumstances that may occur between now and tomorrow morning, I have sold my car. For my asking price. The buyer (a sweet Indian girl who needs a car for her first-ever internship) even had her brother call me in an attempt to browbeat the car price down, but I stood my ground and got what I wanted. It's a good car.
It's funny, I was more agreeable to haggling until I went to the mechanic that the buyer took us to tonight in the hail storm. Basically, the buyer's friend was trying to haggle the price down and I was playing hardball. Eventually the topic caught the ear of the mechanic, who actually said, "Someone is going to pay her [asking price]. If you don't, the next person will." So I told that to the buyer's brother to shut him up. RAWR!
Tomorrow morning we set up our yard sale, and at about 10:30 I will duck out with the buyer to go to the BMV and transfer the title to her. Then she will register the car in her own name and I will turn in my license plates. Whee! And I will have a big fat money order.
I guess that officially makes me a Used Car Salesperson.
